The 16th World Bridge Games took place in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires from 22 October to 3 November. 41 countries’ top bridge players showcased their skills in Open, Women, Senior and Mixed categories for the ultimate title.
After the first six days of round-robin qualifications, the play-offs with 16 participants in each series began on LoveBridge Bid+Score. The seven-day play-off, starting with 64 teams and 256 players, was supported by our colleague Dániel Bakó on the spot. The live results showing all the auctions could be followed both on LoveBridge vugraph and the championships’ microsite.
On the Lovebridge vugraph, it was also possible to follow a match live in each session. This was thanks to the use of the LoveBridge Vugraph Operator (see more HERE) app, and not least to the operators working on site, who recorded the cards played during the game on the dedicated interface. There were also matches where live text commentary was available for the spectators. The matches to be broadcast on the day were selected by the organisers from among the most exciting matches on the day based on the results. In the two-day final, we were able to follow the gold medal match in the Senior category, where the USA and India teams competed against each other, with Zia Mahmood among the players.
The event was once again a great success, thanks in part to the smooth running of the LoveBridge system. Congratulations to the winning teams, and we look forward to preparing for next year’s WBF competitions!
