Senior Bowl (bridge)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Senior Bowl is a bridge competition held at the same venue as Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup. This event was initiated in 2001 and is contested every odd-numbered year. Prior to 2005 all members of each team had to be at least 55 years of age. The WBF has decided that, as from 2005, the min­i­mum age for a player to be recognized as Senior will be increasing one year per year, until it reaches 60 years in 2009.[1] The decision ensures that 55-years olds who par­tic­i­pated in a senior event in 2003 will never become ex-Seniors.
