Bridge The Gap

11 de abril – 15 de abril

EUSAWith this simultaneous festival we will be raising money for student bridge teams to participate in the European University Sport Games to be held in July 2016.

Zagreb 2016

It will be a simultaneous event where players in clubs around the world will play matches with the same set of pre-dealt boards. Then later those very same boards will be played by two world-class pairs on BBO. Each pair playing at the club level will be “teamed” with one of the top pairs playing on BBO. Thus every pair in your clubs will, in effect, be playing a match with superstar teammates (like Helgemo, Auken, Welland, Bessis, cem Tokay, Versace or Zia)

We will recommend a standard donation of 10 euros/player/day. That way if 100 pairs were to play over the course of a week in a given country (merely 20 per day),that would yield enough money to send one university bridge team to the EUSA games.

Please share the event, it is most important that everyone know about it!

More information coming soon!
