Eligibility criteria
The WBF - and consequently the EBL and Bridge Great Britain - have adjusted their criteria for eligibility for Seniors events. The EBU has therefore adjusted its criteria in response to this. Please note, therefore, that to be eligible players must be born in 1961 or earlier. Further details can be found on the senior eligibility criteria page.
Information about the Teltscher Trophy
The Senior Home Internationals for the Teltscher Trophy
The first Senior Home International was played in Oxford 30th May- 1st June 2008. The national teams of the five countries were joined by a Patron’s team led by Bernard Teltscher, who agreed to support the event for its first five-year cycle. The Patron’s team could win the event but not the trophy. The winning team was England (Paul Hackett & Ross Harper, Gunnar Hallberg & John Holland, Ian Panto & Tony Waterlow, npc John Williams).
As of 2022 England have won six times, Scotland five times, Republic of Ireland three times and Wales once. Northern Ireland are yet to win.
