General Information

The eBridge Cup has two phases: online (on Funbridge and BBO from July to September) and in-person (in Cannes from October 24 to 31). The two formats are linked by a common finale but are each accessible independently. During the Cannes Bridge Week, many other bridge and non-bridge events will also take place in addition to the eBridge Cup final.

No. Both formats are open to everyone independently. Playing online does not commit you to attending the Cannes event, and vice versa.
