The HCL Bridge Foundation, the biggest sponsor of Contract Bridge in India, has just completed a 9-day 'Year End 2020' tournament on RealBridge. The tournament was conducted by Bridge From Home, India's premier bridge event organizer, and one of the earliest adopters of the RealBridge platform.
The 64-team teams event comprised 9 rounds of Swiss to determine 16 qualifiers, who then played a 5 stage Knock Out in a repechage format. In a tense 48-board final between two of India's top teams, Hemant Jalan narrowly defeated Rampage.
162 pairs entered the pairs event, which featured 3 rounds of elimination before 28 pairs settled down to play a day-long Howell movement. The winners were Abhijit Chakarbory and Satyabrata Mukherji, with Sunit Chokshi and Swarnendu Banerji runners up.
