2020 Winner List

In 2020, Auckland was "locked down" twice due to Covid-19. This resulted in the club being closed for eighty-seven sessions of competitive play. Many of our trophies, including the five Championship Pairs and the Combined Main Points trophies, were not awarded because an insufficient number of sessions were played. For the Summer and Winter Ladder competitions, 4 sessions were permitted if the club was closed for only one of the 5 sessions. However, only 2 of the 6 competitions qualified. For the three and four session competitions, where there were fewer than 12 qualified pairs on the final ladder, only the overall winners were declared.
