  • Participation in this tournament is open to all resident bridge players of Indian Nationality. Pairs with one or more non-resident or OCI card holder Indian bridge player(s) or players of other NBO’s of foreign nationality are also eligible to participate. However, the non-resident Indian / OCI Card holder Indian / foreign player(s) or an Indian resident player partnering a non-resident Indian / OCI card holder Indian/ foreign player will not be eligible for the ranking points from this tournament.

  • In case, a non-resident Indian / OCI Card holder Indian / foreign player(s) secure a rank in an event, they will be eligible for the prize. However, that rank will not get substituted for ranking point. For eg. If we are giving ranking points up to 8 positions and the 5th rank is secured by a non-resident Indian / OCI Card holder Indian / foreign player(s), then no ranking points will be allocated to any Indian players for that rank.
  • English will be the official language for foreign players to communicate with other players participating in the championship. It will be presumed that, while playing on RealBridge online platform, foreign Bridge players participating in the championship are able to communicate with other players in English. Those foreign players, who cannot communicate with other players in English are requested not to participate, as it will mean unnecessary calling of TDs, when other players are not able to understand the meaning of a call made by them and vice versa. CTD has full authority to exit such players from play, if it is found that it is creating problems in smooth running of the event. It may please be noted that no translators will be allowed to the RealBridge table in such cases.
