Although the Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup and d’Orsi Seniors Bowl are for qualified teams, the Transnational Open Teams is open to players in good standing with their own National Bridge Organisation who can form teams with partners and other pairs either from their own country or from a different NBO.
It is an exciting and challenging event, and is one of the few sporting events where players of any rank can compete against some of the highest ranked players in the world, since if teams in the three main events fail to qualify for the final stages they have the opportunity to drop into the Transnational Teams.

And there is the added excitement of being able to mix with and watch some of the great players in action on the vu-graph presentation. Being part of such an event is enormous fun and will, we are sure, be a very memorable experience. And it is being held in a marvellous venue !
