Scheduling

In advance of the event, and no later than Friday 13 December 2024, each team will receive an email from the organisers, giving the times of play etc, and asking them to respond and give their exact availability on the playing days using a form which will be provided. This will constitute a commitment to be able to play at those times. To facilitate scheduling across time zones, teams are asked to supply a total of at least 22 hours of availability.

As soon as possible after this deadline, each team will be assigned to 12 or 13 matches at specified times within the periods that they are available. Where possible these will be grouped into larger sessions of several teams, each playing several matches in succession.

Spectators/Kibitzers

No persons other than the active Players, TDs, and RealBridge support staff will be allowed in the RealBridge session. Captains, coaches, and players waiting to join the next round may join during the break between rounds.

Delayed online kibitzing of all tables will be available, through https://kibitz.realbridge.online. This will be deferred by 60 minutes
