正確使用「中國香港亅的冠名

2024-05-07

Proper Use of the Term "Hong Kong, China" in Team Name

為符合中國香港橋牌協會的政策及做法，

橋友在代表香港或參加國際性、區域性及海外舉辦的橋牌比賽時，應使用「中國香港亅的冠名，而非簡單的「香港亅二字。但由國內舉辦的非國際賽事，運動員則應以「香港特區亅或「香港特別行政區亅名義參加。

這項要求適用於登記隊名、制服、提交定約咭、宣傳資料….等等。
正確使用「中國香港亅的冠名可避免對參賽者及中國香港橋牌協會帶來不必要的尷尬及質詢。這些不符合規定的爭議更可導致中國香港橋牌協會及/或個别選手被要求退出賽事，以及影響中國香港橋牌協會及/或個别選手所獲得的資助。
如有查詢，可與中國香港橋牌協會的任何一位委員聯络。

In compliance with the policy and practice of the Hong Kong, China Contract Bridge Association (HKCBA), bridge players are advised to use the term “Hong Kong, China” in their team names instead of just “Hong Kong” when representing Hong Kong, China or when taking part in international, regional and overseas bridge tournaments. This is with the exception of non-international tournaments organized by China when the name of “Hong Kong Special Administrative Region” should be used.

This requirement should apply to the registration of team names, uniforms, submission of system notes, publicity materials etc.

The proper use of the term “Hong Kong, China” will avoid unnecessary embarrassment and queries to the bridge player and the HKCBA. Any non-compliance controversy may result in suspension of participation in the event and/or withdrawal of subsidy on the part of the bridge player and/or HKCBA.

For enquiries, please contact any HKCBA council member.
