Unfortunately there aren't any other very good bridge players in South Africa. I'm therefore looking for a parter/teammates to play in Turkey..
Please contact me if you'd be interested in playing. I realise American juniors' sponsorship gets cut if they play transnational so that's a problem..
I'm usually on bbo so contact me or leave a message if you might be interested

I have a vague memory of some decent South African players at the bermuda bowl. Have they all emigrated to Turkey?

This is junior championship.

I hate the transnational funding cuts for the US... I'd play, Rob... But of course I'd get no funding, and nothing pretty much

There should be more done for juniors who want to play with juniors from another country.

you could always look for a private sponsor :/

Well, the European Junior teams is a month before, so the turn out will be poor from European countries. Is it me or is that absurd scheduling?

Yeah. It would also help juniors from small countries, who perhaps dont have a lot of natural partners to choose among.


Say a young girl who wants to be successful in girl-classes and possibility to have same partner in U20. Not so easy to find another girl roughly same age and good player. Especielly not living in small bridge-country.


Luck there is BBO - they can at last do some training together although living in different cities.
