2021 Winner List

In 2021, Auckland was "locked down" three times due to Covid-19 with the third being 106 days. This resulted in the club being closed for seventy-five sessions of competitive play. Many of our trophies, including the four 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, four sessions were permitted if the club was closed for only one of the five sessions. Five of the six competitions qualified. For the three and four session competitions, where there were fewer than twelve qualified pairs on the final ladder, only the overall winners were declared.
