With 12 teams in the Open and 10 teams in the Women’s category, the 22nd European Champions’ Cup and the 2nd European Women Champions’ Cup took place in the Congress Centre of the picturesque town of Boario Terme in the North Italian lakeland.
Again, the LoveBridge Bid+Score system was used during the whole championship where after a 2-day round robin a third day of knock-out playoffs decided on the final rankings.
On top of showing all bids and results from every table, 2 matches of every round had live broadcasts exclusively on the LoveBridge vugraph, that was brought forward with our new operator application and the vugraph operators sitting by each of the four streamed tables. The broadcasts were presented for the local audience with live commentary by the Italian top player, Giorgio Duboin.
Video commentary was also available at two matches, thanks to some enthusiastic players from Hungary who were doing commentary in Hungarian on both vugraph matches of their women’s team.
The results, as well as the broadcasts that can be watched back, are available on the competition’s site at vugraph.lovebridge.com and on the competition’s EBL microsite.
