Revision as of 14:38, 9 October 2013
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/Camrose_Trophy_for_Home_International_Bridge_Championships.jpg)
The Camrose Trophy or "The Camrose" is an annual bridge competition among open teams representing the home nations of Great Britain and Ireland: England (EBU), Northern Ireland (NIBU), Republic of Ireland (CBAI), Scotland (SBU) and Wales (WBU). As such it is the open teams-of-four component of the "Home Internationals" organised by Bridge Great Britain.[1]
Lord Camrose, owner of The Daily Telegraph, donated the trophy in 1936 and it was first contested in 1937. The original trophy has been lost and replaced. Because of World War II the series was interrupted mid-way in 1939 and not resumed until 1946, yet the Camrose is the world's most-played international bridge series.[1]
Wales won the 68th Camrose and its first, March 2011 in Llandrindod Wells, Powys (Wales).[2]
Beside "The Camrose" (Open flight), the Home Bridge Internationals include annual series for Women from 1950, Juniors from 1971, Under-19 from 1990, and Seniors from 2008.[1]
Structure
Since 2007 there have been six teams in the competition. From 2007 to 2009 the sixth team was the defending champion, so there were two teams from the previous year's winning nation. Since 2010 the sixth team has been a second team from the final-round host nation, which follows a five-year cycle, Northern Ireland and Wales to date. The second team is named for the national bridge federation; thus "Wales" and "Welsh Bridge Union" both entered in 2011.[1]
Since 2005 a double round-robin is scheduled on two weekends.[1] With six teams, each weekend comprises five rounds of three head-to-head matches, a single round-robin. A match is now 32 deals scored at IMPs and converted to victory points (VP).[2] So every team plays 320 deals in the entire event, 64 against each of its rivals.
Before 2007 there were simply five national teams, or four during the 48-year absence by the Republic of Ireland from 1951 to 1998.[1]
Results
England won both completed pre-war and the first 17 post-war contests, through 1962. Only England and Scotland were winners in the 56 renditions before year 2000, including England–Scotland ties 1972 and 1973. Ireland first won in 2000 and won four straight beginning 2005.[3]
Wales won the 68th Camrose Trophy as host nation in 2011. After the first weekend 7–9 January, England led Wales (A) by 92 to 88 VP with Ireland and WBU (Wales B) also above the norm of 75 VP. Wales nearly repeated that performance 4–6 March, which was good enough to win: topping England by 170 to 165 total; followed by Ireland 160, Scotland 154, and WBU 147 or slightly below average. Northern Ireland won one of ten matches and tallied 99. The two England–Wales matches were decisive in that Wales totalled 34 VP to 26 for England, greater than the final margin.[2]
Both the 5-VP final margin and 17-VP per match recorded by Wales were the lowest for any winner under the six-team format.[4]
Winners by Nation
Counts for England and Scotland include their 1972 and 1973 ties.[3]
Nation | Winners |

Winners by Year
Three recent winners have been one of two entries from their countries, namely "Ireland" 2008, "EBU" 2009 (English Bridge Union), and "Wales" 2011. They were the defending champion team, the England "B" team, and the Wales "A" team respectively. Their compatriots were "Hosts Ireland", "England", and "WBU" (Welsh Bridge Union).[1][4]

Players
Teams competition in bridge essentially requires eight players at two tables. The North–South pair at one table and East–West pair at the other table are teammates. With six players on a team there are four at the tables and two on the sidelines during every segment of play, or set.
Camrose matches comprise two sets of 16 deals with player substitutions permitted between sets.[2] Since 2007 the annual event comprises ten matches for each national team; previously there were eight or six matches. All 2011 participants played in 80 to 144 of 160 deals on the second weekend, or five to nine of ten sets (five matches), led by Rex Anderson and David Greenwood who played nine sets for Northern Ireland.[2] Anderson is the career leader with 92 matches played.
