The World Bridge Federation's dress code will be obligatory for the teams qualified to play in the World Championships (Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup) in Bali in October 2001, as per the WBF Conditions of Contest: "NBOs are asked to take note of the recognition of Bridge as a Sport by the IOC and requests that players should, at all times, be dressed appropriately; this is particularly the case at the Opening Ceremony, when it is hoped that teams could at least be uniformly dressed even if a team uniform is not available. During play appropriate dress would, for example, be an open-necked shirt, or a smart polo or sweatshirt worn with trousers or skirt as appropriate." |
