 he 7th World Junior Bridge Team Championship will
be held in Fort Lauderdale, the famous ‘city of islands’, in Florida,
USA, from 9 to 18 August 1999. All Zones of the World Bridge Federation are
invited to participate in this prestigious tournament. Each Zone may be
represented by one or two teams, except Zone 1 (Europe) that can enter up to
four teams and Zone 2 (North America) that can enter up to three teams.
Conditionally, a third team will be accepted from Zone 6 (Pacific Asia). The
host country is also invited to take part with one team.
In general, players may be up to 25 years old.
The Championship consists of a qualifying stage, semifinals, a final and a
playoff for third place. The winners of the final will be the new World Junior
Champions: they will receive the Ortiz-Patiño Trophy and silver
replicas for each player and the non-playing captain. Those failing to qualify
will be able to participate in a Swiss Pairs contest to be arranged
exclusively for young people.
