The first online University Teams Championships were held in 2008 / 2009, and attended by 16 teams from 4 continents. Italy won the final against Norway.
In October 2010, we will start with the 2nd World Teams University Bridge Championships on internet BBO.
It is a knock out competition on internet between countries where the schedule is determined by draw. A country can enter an unlimited number of teams. Your teams must be composed of between 4 to 6 university or school players and a captain must be indicated. For each player, you must enter: name, surname, date of birth, nationality, university or high school, country.
Your teams can participate under the following conditions:

Both captains have 1 month to schedule and play a match of 32 boards. The result must be sent directly after the match to Kuba Kasprzak (with a copy toGeert Magerman).
Results will be published on www.unibridge.org and the new Facebook account "Uni Bridge".
