Due to the corona virus, there is a possibility that the 2020 World Bridge Games will be cancelled or postponed. Council discussed and decided that if the event is postponed to a later date but still to be held within one year from August 2020, the winning teams of the 2020 WBG trial will still be eligible to represent in the event. However if the event is cancelled, the winning teams will lost their representative right automatically. If the corona virus situation persist and the 2020 WBG still continues to be held per scheduled, the winning teams can decide to withdraw from the event due to safety consideration without being penalized. If some members withdrawn and there are still 3 or more members remain in the team, they can request to replace with another 3 players subject to Council’s approval. If the winning team decided to withdraw, then the team ranked 2nd in the series will be invited to go.

Mr. Robert Zajac (we called him Bobby) was the former President of Hong Kong Contract Bridge Association (HKCBA) during 2004 to 2006. He had since 1985 joined HKCBA Council and contributed a lot in promoting Contract Bridge in the society. Many of our bridge friends knew him through different bridge occasions. Bobby was a bridge addict, we saw his enthusiasm not only at the bridge table. He was writing for a bridge column in the South China Morning Post and his bridge articles were interesting and inspiring.
Our deepest condolences to Bobby’s family and May he rest in peace.
