Conditions of Contest:

All Junior International events are Category 3 as defined by the WBF Systems Policy.  Details may be found by clicking here. This does not allow HUMs or Brown Sticker Conventions.

These trials will be held at this level. 

Note that not all 2 or 3 Level Openings legal at EBU Level 4 are allowed.  Multi type bids of 2C and 2D that show a Weak Two in either major are allowed (either with or without strong options), but other conventional bids with weak options must specify the suit of the weak option.  It would be legal for example to play 2C as GF or a Weak Two in Diamonds, but not to play 2S or 2NT as a prempt in either minor.

Each pair will also be required to submit one copy of their Convention Card before play in the Trials begins.
