ANC 2021 and Joan Prince Memorial Swan River Swiss Pairs Postponed
The ABF Board, the NECs, Chair of the Tournament Committee, and the ANC and Joan Prince Memorial Swan River Swiss Pairs Tournament Organisers, met today to take stock of the escalating border closures and lockdowns. It is with heavy hearts that we have made the decision to postpone the 2021 ANC and Joan Prince Memorial Swan River Swiss Pairs scheduled for the 10-22 July. The current restrictions and border lockdown make it impossible to run the event in this timeframe.
Robina McConnell has contacted the Perth Conventions Centre and confirmed the new dates 6-18 November, 2021.
The Joan Prince Memorial Swan River Swiss Pairs will be held on 6-7 November followed by the ANC Teams and Butler.
We look forward to seeing you in Perth. The positives are that the weather will be warmer and more people will be fully vaccinated.
We thank you all for your understanding.

From the Organisers
The decision was taken this morning by the ABF in conjunction with BAWA to postpone the event until the 6th – 18th November 2021. All entries in MyABF will be automatically transferred to the new dates.
If you no longer wish to play:
- Players are asked to withdraw their entries – that automatically puts bridge credits back into their accounts.
- Players can keep the credits and use them for entries to other events via MyABF.
- If players want a credit card refund, then they lodge a request via the Contact MyABF Support link which notifies MyABF by email. The refund is handled by ABF HQ in conjunction with the MyABF Administrator.
If players wishing to withdraw have paid by bank transfer to BAWA those refunds need to be handled by BAWA and a request needs to be placed with the Tournament Organiser.
We wish to thank all entrants at this difficult time. To our interstate visitors, we will be pleased to welcome you to Perth later in the year; the weather will be warmer and the wildflowers out.
