  • 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.

As always, our goal is to provide information and to foster change for the better in a manner that is entertaining, instructive and stimulating. The ACBL Board of Directors is testing a new appeals process at NABCs in 1999 and 2000 in which a Committee (called a Panel) comprised of pre-selected top Directors will hear appeals at NABCs from non-NABC+ events (including side games, regional events and restricted NABC events). Appeals from NABC+ events will continue to be heard by the National Appeals Committees (NAC). We will review both types of cases as we always have traditional Committee cases. Panelists were sent all cases and invited to comment on and rate each Director ruling and Panel/Committee decision. Not every panelist will comment on every case.
