Once you have learned the basics you can then start to play competitively. Competitive bridge can be played at various levels. Most organized competitive bridge nowadays is “duplicate bridge” which reduces the level of chance to a very low level while maintaining the variety and possibility of the unexpected – a factor which make game-play in bridge so different from other mind sports.

The EBU works with the charity English Bridge Education and Development (EBED) to organise and coordinate youth activities.

These include the Junior Teach-In, the Young Bridge Challenge, Under-21 & Under-26 Championships, and numerous other competitions and opportunities to learn, organised at a national, county, or club level. County Youth Officers coordinate junior activities in many counties.

The Selection Committee is responsible for the selection of England teams for international events, or defining and managing the trials processes (especially the Premier League) by which teams will qualify to play for England.
