ALL AFRICA OPEN TEAMS 2024

The ABF management discuss the “ALL AFRICA OPEN TEAMS” event in September.

Please find hereafter the decisions taken :

  1. Based on the various responses received, it will be organized during both weekends : 14th-15th and 21st-22nd of September
  2. The minimum number of Teams must be 20 (in order to be a financially viable event)
  3. Each Team can register 2 or 3 Pairs
  4. The event is entirely OPEN; therefore, there are no limitations as to age, gender, nationality, bridge level, etc. The only condition is that each player must be a licensed member of his/her African federation (NBO)
  5. Each Team can include licensed players from any African federation (i.e. 2 Tunisian pairs can partner with one Kenyan Pair) and partners in each Pair can belong to two different African federations
  6. This event will be played on RealBridge and, therefore, players will have to go to the designed playing area determined by their Federation (play will not be permitted from anywhere else)
  7. Our CTD (Waleed El Menayawi) will circulate the Conditions of Contest within the next couple of weeks; you can address any questions to him afterwards
  8. Each NBO will be responsible for collecting the entry fees from players belonging to its own federation

 We, at the ABF, are hopeful that this event will attract a large number of Teams

 Thank you all for your attention

 Best regards

 Bernard Pascal

President
