Special Intermediate and Junior events

The National Bridge Congress is for all tournament players, whether you are Open, Intermediate or Junior grade.

Many Open players have been to the National Congress before but Junior and Intermediate players may be thinking of coming for the first time. We hope many Junior and Intermediate players will come and enjoy the experience. We believe the Congress, while competitive, is also a very friendly and social place to be. We want you all to experience that, whether you come for just one day or all eight days.

As an Intermediate or Junior player, you can play in any event though there are four exclusively for you and not for Open players. It has been  our dream, our aim, to eventually have enough Junior pairs/ teams to have events just for Juniors. This year, we have started to see that wish take place as for the first time, we have the New Zealand Junior Pairs (see details below).With respect to Teams and Swiss Pairs, for this year, Intermediates and Juniors will play in the same field but with special prizes for Junior players.

The lower ranking Open players are allowed to play with Intermediates and Juniors in the following events:
