2015 Women’s Autumn Festival – November 9-15

The 2015 WBF Women’s Online Autumn Festival starts on Monday, November 9, and continues until Sunday, November 15 on Bridge Base Online. Just like in Spring, the tournaments will be extended to include all women players who have a BBO username, and not just those who have registered with the WBF Women’s Club website*. Grand prize is  Free entry to the National Women’s Pairs event** at the World Bridge Games in Wroclaw, Poland for the winner and a partner of her choice, plus free accommodation in a twin room!
Although registration is open to all, it is really important that Festival participants register their info on the Women’s Club site because the final prizes in the overall classification will ONLY be awarded to the women players who have completed their Registration Form.
** Because this event is a national and not a transnational pairs, both players must be eligible to play as representatives of the same NBO – i.e. they must be members in good standing of the same National Bridge Organisation.
