Get ready for BIC 2nd Edition: Free BIC Practice Tournaments

Bridge International Championship 2nd edition

The best way to prepare for the 2nd Edition of the Bridge International Championship (BIC) will be to compete in our free BIC practice tournaments. There will be two available on Saturday, March 27 and two more on Sunday, March 28 - starting midnight US Central Time.

The format will be similar to the BIC tournaments: daylong style, individual, with robots, 12 boards, Matchpoints. Your scores will be averaged and you get to see how you rank overall and against compatriots on the BIC leaderboard.

Your IP address will determine which country you represent (for example, Garozzo will represent the USA if he’s in the USA). If your country doesn’t have at least 10 players, you’ll represent the “Rest of World”.
