The Berwick Congress is a popular and friendly one-day congress held annually on a Sunday around the end of April or start of May.
The Congress is typically a two session event. The afternoon session, starting at 1pm, is a matchpointed Open Pairs Championship; 12 two-board rounds with barometer scoring and Swiss assignments. The evening session is a Swiss Teams event, scored by imps converted to victory points using the WBF continuous scale.
The date for the 41st Berwick Congress is Sunday, 28 April 2024.
It will follow the traditional format of a 24-board matchpointed pairs in the afternoon followed by 4 x 6-board Swiss Teams in the evening. 
Pairs needing teammates are typically paired up just before the congress, to ensure the most appropriate teammates are selected.
