Some while ago, someone asked for results of events to be posted. Well, this 
is a bit late, but it still beats the wait for Australian Bridge magazine...

The 1995 Australian Swiss Pairs was held in Launceston, Tasmania over the 
weekend of 14/15 October. A field of 42 tables, including 1 overseas player 
and 71 from the north island, made it the most successful of the 3 times this 
event has been held.

The event consisted of 9 rounds of 14 board matches.
Final standings were

Rank          Pair                                  VPs

  1    Andrew Reiner & Bob Richman (NSW)            172
  2    Charles & Helen Snashall (VIC)               171
  3    Ted Chadwick & Avi Kanetkar (NSW)            168
  4    Peter Reynolds & Nigel Rosendorff (WA)       165
  5    Bob Gallus & Andrew Webb (VIC)               163
  6    Byron & Tania Gariepy (VIC)                  160
  7    Belinda Lindsay & Jenny Lord (VIC)           160
  8    Hilton Francis & Lech Kaszubski (TAS)        156
  9    Bobby Evans & Rena Kaplan (NSW)              154
 10    John Bailey & Stephen Quinn (TAS)            154


An interesting story regarding the eventual winners was that after booking 
airfares and accomodation, Bob Richman forgot to actually enter the event!! As 
a result, Bob and Andrew were booked on a 5:45pm flight back home, with play 
due to finish at 5:30pm (with a 25 minute trip to the airport!). Bob and 
Andrew played both quickly and well enough to win the event and finish by 
5:05pm!

Hope to see everyone back for the 1996 event down in Hobart.

Simon Edler,       Tournament Director
