Bridge International Championship – Autumn 2021
This is the big news of the 2021-2022 bridge season: the Bridge International Championship (BIC) is back! And surprise, this year there will be four editions instead of one!
Indeed, in view of the success of the previous BICs, we have decided to run this world event in each new season (autumn, winter, spring and summer).
But that is not all. The best players of these seasonal editions will have the privilege of facing each other in the All-Star BIC to finish the season with a flourish.
Mark your calendar for 25 September and come participate in the first seasonal BIC of the year: the Autumn BIC! Pit your skills against players from all over the world, earn Funbridge Points and Robot Bridge Points (WBF), and try to win one of the many prizes up for grabs.
