Your next stop may be the wonderful city of Prague, where you can play in the European Bridge League’s Winter Transnational Championships. This year you could compete in Open Teams, Mixed Teams, Open Pairs, Mixed Pairs and BAM events.

No sooner has that event concluded you may find yourself having to travel to London to compete in the Lederer Trophy, first contested in 1945 as a tribute to Richard Lederer. Or perhaps you will be in India to play in the Sir Padampat Sighania Memorial Invitational tournament. Some players will have travelled to Poland, playing in the Polish Premier League, while others will be in the Netherlands playing in the finals of the Dutch Premier League. A few days after that, you will be off to North America to play in the ACBL’s Spring Nationals, this year in St. Louis.

It may sound like the stuff of dreams, but bridge aficionados have a huge consolation prize even if they cannot make it to any or all of these events as they can usually be followed from the comforts of home by tuning into Bridge Base Online!
