HKCBA

Enquiry regarding Tournament Sponsorship for 2024 World Bridge Games:

2023-12-29

HKCBA has received an enquiry for Sponsorship for the 2024 World Bridge Games recently.

1) If a team has won the trial and is officially approved by the council, HKCBA will cover all the entry fees for that team when participating in formal regional events.

2) Apart from the youth teams, whose subsidy for a certain percentage of their expenses will be determined by the council, all other teams will not receive subsidies from the Association.

3) The provision of subsidies for accommodation and/or airfare sponsorship for trial winners is conditional upon the availability of funds from relevant authorities and approval by the HKCBA council. Therefore, there is no guarantee that these subsidies will be granted.

4) If only one team participated in a given trial, they will be deemed the automatic winner. However, the team still needs to obtain the council’s approval before they can represent Hong Kong, China at regional events.

Leisure Activities Survey

by WBF Official Nov. 25

The WBF is conducting a survey exploring what types of leisure activities people do and why.

Please help us, our community and our beautiful game by taking 5 minutes to complete the survey, and by asking friends to complete it (even those who don't play bridge)

The survey is here: https://pip.surveymonkey.com/r/DKJW93X.

Because this survey is aimed primarily at bridge players, the end result will be a better understanding of why different groups of people around the world like and play bridge, and how bridge compares to other activities that bridge players and potential bridge players like to do. This will help bridge administrators, teachers and promoters design better ways to identify, attract and teach potential bridge players, and also ways to encourage players to keep playing the game.

Thank you!

Ben Thompson, WBF 1st Vice President and Chair Marketing & Communications Committee
