The first congress in Yorkshire in 2019 was the Hull Rapidplay held on Sunday 06/01/2019, at the Royal Hotel Hull, Ferensway, Hull. There were three sections as follows:

Section	Grade Limit	Entries	1st-Place Winner(s)	Score / 5	Link to Cross‑Table
Open	Open	18	Mike J Surtees (Great Lever)	4½	Open Cross-Table
Major	Under 160	26	Giles Dunn (Hull) Stephen Crow (Hull)	4½	Major Cross-Table
Minor	Under 120	26	Richard Atkinson (Hull)	5	Minor Cross-Table
	total	70

In the Open, a final-round win by Miles Edwards-Wright of Sheffield over higher-graded Hull-born Richard Britton (long resident “down south”) reversed what might have been expected to be their fortunes, making Miles 2nd-3rd=.

The only 100% score was achieved by Richard Atkinson of Hull with 5 out of 5 in the Minor.
