Master point scheme
The NZB grading is completely separate from our own club grading and is used for tournaments only.
The purpose of the Master Point Scheme is:
To stimulate interest in duplicate bridge.
To provide a means of measuring and recording the achievements of players of organised duplicate bridge.
