The WBF is really looking forward to going to Bali for this exciting and challenging Championship. We are sure that players will find the venue and ambiance wonderful and that it will contribute enormously to the success of the event.

We hope that, in addition to the National Teams competing in the main three events, as many transnational teams as possible will take the opportunity of visiting this magical island and taking part in the World Transnational Open Team Championships - not only will they have the chance to enjoy Bali and its magnificent beaches and culture, they will also be playing bridge against some of the greatest players in the world. There will be the opportunity to watch the final stages of the Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup and d'Orsi Senior Trophy on the Vugraph presentation.
