After 30 boards your score will be evaluated against standards set out in the competition rules. If your score exceeds the top standard you will be promoted to the next level. On the other hand if your score falls below the bottom standard you will be relegated. The ratings vary from 1 to 9 with additional stars above the 9 level. To keep the game competitive for everyone, players with lower ratings will get compensation if they play against the real topguns.

The club is a member of the Dutch Bridge Federation NBB. Note: All spectators and players of the testmatch will get all the boardrecords by email immediatly after the last board has been played.
