The WBU Green Pointed Simultaneous Pairs events are held twice a year, in Spring and Autumn. This event has been expanded to a full five days, with different hands each day so players can play every day if they wish! Commentaries and travellers are sent out to the participating clubs as normal - the WBU is fortunate to have some very good volunteer commentators who write these for your interest and enjoyment !

The top award is 1 Green (or Red, depending on which country you are in) point and 600 local points - the Green points go to the top 10% and the local points to the top 1/3rd of the field. Of course the top awards will have the local points reduced slightly by the green point award, so the winners will get 1 GP and 500 LPs. The top 2.5% of the field will get 1 Green point, the next 2.5% will be 0.75, for the next 2.5% it goes to 0.5 and the final 2.5% get .25 - the black awards will be reduced by 100, 75, 50, and 25 respectively.

The funds raised from the Autumn Pairs will help support the Wales Air Ambulance and the WBU and its work with the development of bridge in Wales, and the funds from the Spring Pairs are used to help with the administration of the WBU and to support its work in Wales.

The WBU hopes that as many clubs as possible will join them for these events, which are to help raise funds for the Union - they are sure you will appreciate that as a small organisation, it is a case of "every little helps" !

The events are not restricted to Welsh clubs - all are welcome to join in and play these events.
