At the beginning of each session, players will be randomly drawn into several groups (8 players in a group); A special movement designed by Richard Pavlicek (www.rpbridge.net) will be used in this race, but we will cut short in 6 rounds for each session, so 4 boards for each round. At most, a player will meet the other player as partner on 4 boards, as opponent on 8 boards.
