The Hubert Phillips Bowl is an eccentric English competition. It is a knockout Team-of-Four event with matches arranged privately. This is an ideal tournament for new players coming from the environs of rubber or chicago bridge to the game of duplicate, as well as an excellent event for all tournament players.
Green Points are awarded for matches won in all rounds. But all teams must contain at least one man and one woman and it is a pivot event. Everyone must play a third of the boards (30 until the final stages) with each other team member. Most people play teams of 4, but teams of 6 are allowed, in which case the match is played in two halves with the above rules applying to each half.
There must always be at least one man and at least one woman in play. At no time may an all-male or all-female team be playing. In addition to this, aggregate rather than IMP scoring is used and honors count. Scoring is by aggregate with honors counting.
Seeding has been introduced, so that every team entering is guaranteed at least one match before meeting a seed. Matches are of 30 boards up to and including the quarter-final, except that 24-board or 27-board matches may be played in Rounds 1–3 by mutual agreement. A picture of the Bowl is shown below.
