For the second day running, only Australia were able to prevent
a total monopoly by the European teams at the head of the tables.
Not only do they top group B in the Open Series, but they also
command the biggest margin - a substantial 22 VP.
Seven different teams top the standings in the remaining divisions.
Belgium, England and Italy lead the way
in the Open, whilst Norway and France head the
standings in the Women’s series. Sweden top the Seniors
and Austria are the front runners in the University event.
Several fancied teams still need to pick up a gear, notably
Denmark, Canada, The Netherlands and Norway
in the Open, and Italy and Israel in the Women’s
event.

FISU visited Maastricht
Today Mr Roch Campana, Secretary General
of the FISU (Federation des Sports Universitaires) and Mr Fernand
Bottelberghs, Secretary of the FISU International Control Committee,
visited the university bridge championship. They were welcomed
by Jose Damiani, Gianongo Rona and Panos Gerontopoulos and afterwards
shown round the various rooms and offices by Lode Lambeets,
Liaison Officer FISU and Paul Magerman.
They were deeply impressed by the organization
of the championship.
It has been agreed upon that Jose Damiani,
on behalf of the WBF, will reapply to FISU to recognize bridge
worldwide as a university sport and to organize an official
university world championship in Bruges (Belgium) in 2002.
