ABOUT US

The International Bridge Press Association is for bridge media peoples benefit.  The main benefit of being a member is that you get access to a network consisting of 300 useful fellow members in all corners of the world and thereby prime access to news and views.

Another benefit is the awards for the best bidding, play, etc. The winners get prizes, and the other members get good copy. IBPA cooperates with the Hainan Bridge Festival (HBF). This cooperation gives many advantages to members, see further the Award Benefits document and the recap of the Awards ceremony in 2018.

BRIDGE MATERIAL
All material on this site and related documents are covered by copyright.  Note that when it says, in e.g. a Bulletin, that you may use this and  that without mentioning the author or source, it implies that members  (and members only) can use it in the said way. This is so because "you"  in the context = any member. That older Bulletins can be accessed by  everybody changes nothing in this regard.

SOLICITING
The addresses found on this web site and related databases may not be used  for block sendings. Instead IBPA offers to send out circular letters.  See further the Ads page.
