In November last year, the WBF was very excited to announce the first ever World Online Bridge Championship, played through Funbridge and BBO with a launch day to be held in December.
It was due to start in March 2020 and run until August, with a live 3-day final in November for up to 500 finalists (all expenses paid!). Plus a magnificent prize fund of up to US$ 500,000 with US$ 100,000 to the winner !
However, because of the Covid-19 pandemic it has been decided to postpone this brilliant event until such time as bridge players can once again meet safely and come together to play a final rather than simply playing online.
I am sure we all look forward to that day when we can again meet with our many bridge friends and celebrate, remembering our motto, BRIDGE FOR PEACE.
