The Youth Board-a-Match Teams is the second event of the World Youth Transnational Bridge Championships. It is open to all new teams or teams already eliminated from the Swiss/KO event.
The scoring format is quite exciting, as the target is just to “win the board” against the pair playing against your teammates. There is plenty of strategy involved.
