6th World University Bridge Championships

The 6th World University Bridge Championships organized by FISU (International University Sports federation) and the WBF will be held from 9th – 15th July 2012.

We are pleased to invite University teams from all over the world to participate in this exciting and enjoyable event, which is to be held in Reims, France this year.

Following the very successful Championships staged in China (2006), Poland (2008) and Taiwan (2010) where between 20 and 30 University Bridge Teams took part, we would appreciate your help in making this event even more successful. Please give this event as much publicity as possible.

In order to enter the Championships, NBOs need to contact the University Sport Federation of their country (NUSF). The students from universities and high schools must be accepted by the NUSF and can participate up to 1 year after finishing their studies. They must be between 18 and 28 years old.

You can find more information on this event on www.unibridge.eu and the FISU website at www.fisu.net . All updated information will also be available on facebook “Uni Bridge”.
We really hope to see many teams in France! For all questions, please contact Geert Magerman: geert.magerman@telenet.be.
