COUNTY PAIRS COMPETITION 2009/10

This page and its associated links contains the qualifiers for the OBA semi-finals to be held on Sunday February 21st starting at 1400 and on Sunday March 7th, also starting at 1400.  These qualifying pairs have been determined from heats around the County held during club nights in the months of October and November 2009.  These Clubs were Abingdon, Aylesbury, Banbury, Bicester, Oxford, Summertown, Wantage and Witney.  At least 80 competing pairs are needed before two semi-finals are deemed necessary.  There were 87 eligible pairs competing this year.  To be eligible, both members of the partnership need to be OBA members and to have nominated Oxfordshire as their county of primary allegiance. The pairs chosen from each heat were determined on a pro-rata basis, depending upon the number of eligible pairs participating in the competition. 

Please ensure that notification of your intention to play or otherwise has been sent to reach me by 31st January 2010, or your acceptance cannot be guaranteed. Please notify me directly or via your club contact (who has a list of qualifiers).

The links for the two semi-finals below contain information on the pairs qualifying from each participating club, whether acceptance has been received yet and whether they had requested a particular Semi-final (due to their availability for the two dates).  These two links will be updated as pair acceptance becomes available.  Please contact me at the email address below if your acceptance (or otherwise) does not appear on these pages within 7 days of the notification being sent.  Also included are the pairs that are reserves for both semi-finals - these will be notified if a place becomes available.

I also include a link that will list the finalists for Sunday 25th April 2010.

Good luck in the event!
