  • Federation Report

    Federation Report

    REPORT OF THE FEDERATIONS COMMITTEE The American Contract Bridge League has interaction with many federations in association with the participation of its members in world championships. The most well known of these, and the ones this report will mention, are the World Bridge Federation, the United States Bridge Federation, and the Canadian Bridge Federation. The Mexican Bridge Federation is also involved in such championships, but Mexico actually sends a team to world championships much less often than do the United States and Canada, and discussing their organization will add little to the discussion. The World Bridge Federation is the sponsoring body for all world championships, including the World Team Olympiad (each leap year), the World Bridge Championships (each even numbered non-leap year), the Bermuda Bowl and the Venice Cup (each odd numbered year), and such other championships as the Executive Council of the WBF shall authorize (see the By-Laws of the WBF, which are attached.) At present these championships regularly include Senior Championships and Junior Championships, which are usually held separately from the others. The WBF assumed this role beginning in 1978. The chief governing bodies of the WBF are a Congress and an Executive Council. The Executive Council consists of five members each from Zones 1 and 2 (Europe and the American Contract Bridge League), one member from each other zone, and the President of the WBF. The Congress consists of one member from each National Bridge Organization (NBO). The true power rests in the Executive Council. However, teams represent NBOs. In Europe, where individual countries belong to the European Bridge League, and where individual bridge players pay dues to their respective NBOs, the situation is relatively simple.

    19 Dec 2017 NZ Bridge International Selection Method – Review 2018 1 Introduction The current selection method for International teams has been in place since 2011.

Following receipt of the feedback/submissions, NZ Bridge will undertake the review and will publish a summary of the inputs to and outcomes of the review. This paper has been prepared in order to provide background to and information on the current selection method. 2 Background The international bridge calendar can be considered as a 4-year cycle, comprising: 2.1 World Bridge events Year 1 (2017) World Bridge Teams Championship (Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup, d’Orsi Trophy) Year 2 (2018) World Bridge Series (Rosenblum Cup, McConnell Cup, World Open Pairs, World Women’s Pairs) Year 3 (2019) World Bridge Teams Championship (Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup, d’Orsi Trophy) Year 4 (2020) World Bridge Games (formerly known as Bridge Olympiad) New Zealand participates in the World Bridge Teams every 2 years providing that it can win one of the 2 slots available for the Zone 7 (South Pacific) region, comprising NZ, Australia, French Polynesia & New Caledonia.
