FNCC has been in the forefront in encouraging the development and promotion of various games. Recognizing the virtues of the game as a mind sport and with an intention to popularize the sport in general and in AP and Telangana in particular, the FNCC commenced the All India Open Bridge Championship tournament, sponsored by M/s Navayuga Engineering Company in 2010.
The inaugural event was a grand success and, over the years, it has gained the stature of one of the most important events held in the South Zone.
The FNCC tournament is renowned for its hospitality. A sumptuous breakfast and lunch is served on all days and there is a Cocktail party on Sunday evening.
The tournament usually attracts around 50 teams. Last year, the tournament got an international flavor with the President of the Sri Lankan Bridge Federation participating along with his partner. This year a full team from Sri Lanka is expected.
The total prize purse would be of the order of Rs. 3.5 Lakhs this year.
We sincerely hope that all of you will help us break this level by a proverbial country mile and participate in large numbers
