一連舉行了兩天的Team of Six 上週六完滿結束，冠軍由Fantastic Mickey Mouse隊奪得。Fantastic Mickey Mouse隊的成員Yiu Wai Sing、Mickey Law、Bubble Ho、Gordon Ho、Frederick Mak、Kongo Kong、H L Hau和Sing Leung分別來自Fantastic 隊和Mickey Mouse隊，兩支隊伍平日總是在橋桌上針鋒相較，是次合奏馬上譜出凱旋之歌。

Team of Six的賽制要求每隊每輪派出六位選手上陣，每副牌的分數將會核對兩次，總成績以最多VP的隊伍勝出。

是次比賽中，Fantastic Mickey Mouse 隊六勝一負。其中亞運銀牌得主Bubble Ho和Gordon Ho，以及Yiu Wai Sing三人更是連續兩年贏得此比賽。對於再次得獎，Bubble Ho 表示高興，據他說，去年他們連勝九場，再加上今年連贏六場，最後一場才落敗，中間跨季連勝十五場。足見各成員實力雄厚，成績驕人。

上週六舉行的Swiss Team，由Alan Sze隊連勝六場勇奪冠軍。該隊成員包括Alan Sze、Abby Chiu、KY Tam、Jim Lee、Leo Lam和John Tsang。其中Alan Sze和Abby Chiu已於去年十月贏得本年度的Open Team of 4。

是次比賽以瑞士隊制賽進行，除了第一輪比賽以抽籤形式選對手，其餘各輪皆根據隊伍所得的VP來排列名次及對手，即第一名對賽第二名，第三名對賽第四名，如此類推。Alan Sze隊以18.21、14.39、10.86、13.78、12.77、19.85六戰全勝的佳績長期處於榜首，最終更獲得勝利。

對於勝出比賽，Alan Sze謙稱是隊友打得好。隊中成員Jim Lee和John Tsang以+57.99 X-Imps 排在數據首位。
