Orbis Bermuda Bowl Despite winning four of the six sessions and losing only Tense moments at the start of the Championship one, Poland lost by 4 IMPs to USA 2. Norway and USA I prevailed over Indonesia and Italy respectively by just 10.5 and 8 IMPs. Only Brazil had anything approaching a comfortable passage, defeating Sweden by 30 IMPs.

With just three boards remaining Austria led by eleven IMPs.When the result came up on Board 12 the hopes of Germany's supporters rose. Austria had missed a possible vulnerable BRIDGE BUFF takes on Q-PLUS BRIDGE slam.That would have been enough to change the result, but it proved not to be so simple to bid and Austria had sur- After three rounds of the Orbis World Computer Bridge Championship vived by 11 IMPs.

The Conclusion of a Highly Successful Bridge Olympiad and (Summer
The conclusion of a highly successful Bridge Olympiad and (Summer) Olympic Games raises questions that will arise if bridge is accepted into the (Winter) Games of 2006. The priority of the authorities is simply to get in, but here are some other policy matters worth debate: 1. Eligibility To represent a National Organisation, bridge has: birthplace, citizenship, residence, or first allegiance. How will the more restrictive Olympic rules affect these? 2. Gender The Summer Olympics had one sport, equestrianism, with events Open to either sex, and so no Womens event. Can bridge keep its unique Open/Women categories? If not, it must become Men/Women (as in the WBF Individual), or Open with no Womens event. 3. Age The Summer Olympics, it appears, had only one sport with an age limit event. Oddly, this was mens football (under 23). Does this kill the WBF’s idea of a Junior event to show bridge-players can be young? 4. Number of medal events In the Summer Olympics the team sports (baseball, basketball, beach volleyball, football, handball, hockey, softball, volleyball, and water polo) had only one event per gender and so at most two medal events. Other “combat” (two-sides) sports (badminton, boxing, judo, fencing, lawn tennis, table tennis, taekwondo, wrestling) had variations (individual, pairs, mixed, or weight) and so more medal events. Bridge would be pleased to have two events: Mens teams and Womens teams, but must choose a priority for other events if possible. 5. Performance-enhancing drugs Bridge has already accepted the IOC list of banned substances. It has so far avoided whether there are bridge-specific performance-enhancing drugs.
