His suggestions are as follows:<br /><br /><ol><li>In any year, for the 1st 25 weeks we select partners in the same manner as previously - by drawing cards. </li><li>When a player has played 25 times, he or she is qualified (as for the Annual Cup).</li><li>A qualified player (or players) go into the draw with only those players that they have not played with.</li><li>For ease on any night, perhaps only one qualified player has a partner selected in this way.</li><li>Where there is more than one qualified player selection of which qualified player is determined as the player who as played with the least number of partners.</li><li>After this pair are selected (as Pair 1), the remaining players are paired up as normal.</li></ol><p>To ease confusion on the evening, Eric suggests the pairing can be organised by someone other than Lesley, and he has volunteered.</p><p>If you have any comments on this proposal you can make them by clicking on the COMMENTS label below.</p><p>Ian</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1384705072649678932-1380473781594895228?l=wednesdaybridge.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ianhaighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13725694084537159258noreply@blogger.com0
