Spring Ladder 2007
The Spring Ladder started on Monday 16th April and ran for 40 games (Monday/Wednesday/Friday games only), finishing on Friday 20th July.
The ranking for the ladder is based on the average of the best ten games out of the possible forty, played with at least four different partners. Friday scores are converted from IMPs to their % equivalent, using the Young Chelsea conversion tables.
The prizes for the ladder are as follows:
1st £ 500 - Martin Hoffman
2nd £ 250 - Sarah Dunn
3rd £ 100 - Dom Goodwin
4th £ 75 - David Gold
5th £ 50 - Olivia Woo
6th - one year's free membership (£25) - Brian McGuire
7th - one year's free membership (£25) - Luke Porter
8th - one year's free membership (£25) - Kitty Teltscher
9th - one year's free membership (£25) - Helen Erichsen
10th - one year's free membership (£25) - Ross Harper
At the same time as the start of the Spring Ladder, the new prize structure came into force:
• Vouchers worth £4 each are given in place of prize money/wine/chocolates for each of the club's regular games (except the Club Championhip Pairs which has its own prize structure)
• For up to ten tables the winners each receive one voucher
• For more than ten tables and up to twenty tables the winners each receive two vouchers and the runners-up each get one voucher
• For more than twenty tables the winners each receive three vouchers, the runners-up each two vouchers, and the third pair each get one voucher
• The vouchers are able to be used towards table money, subscriptions, or at the bar; there is no cash alternative and no change is given for them
There will be an Autumn Ladder later in the year with the same format, starting on Friday 14th September.
There will be no Tuesday/Thursday ladder.
