Under restrictions on entrants to
the Metropolitan pair event for The
Star Trophy, no players are eligible
who ever have been winners in this
game or who, between them have
held more than four national master
points. This is calculated to appeal
strongly to those who have been
unable to gain the experts goal of
master points. 1t eliminates the
superexpert players. Clubs or
other groups may enter as many
pairs as they desire, and the three
pairs of any club or group making
the highest aggregate score will be
awarded as an additional prize the
Metropolitan Plaque which they will
be privileged TO hold for one year.
