After eleven days of intense bridge, the 56th European Team Championships in Herning has come to an end. Three events took place during these few days: the 56th European Team Championships, the 12th Women’s and 10th Senior National Pairs Championships.
The two pairs championships finished first, with Polish pairs taking the gold medals in both. In parallel, the Team Championship in the Open category was already underway, as it had the largest number of teams, 30 in total. Four days later, the Women’s, Senior and Mixed categories started, with 22, 20 and 23 teams respectively. Full round robin matches were played in each category, after which Norway came first in both the Open and Women’s, while the Netherlands won at the Seniors and Israel in the Mixed.
Thanks to a recent development it was the first Bid+Score tournament (the gameplay is still with cards) where the live results were published on the LoveBridge vugraph site, in addition to the EBL site.
We also introduced in Herning our match broadcasting system called LoveBridge Operator (LBO), that – with the assistance of an operator – makes possible to stream the playing phase of the game on our vugraph. Live broadcasts of selected matches were available for spectators and their full bidding and playing history can be reviewed any time on LoveBridge Vugraph.
Congratulations to all the medallists and everyone who qualified for the World Championships! We look forward to being part of the most prestigious bridge championship with LoveBridge next year!
