Mr Yeh Chen the patron of the Yeh Bros Cup Bridge Invitational Championships and Mr Patrick Huang, the International Liaison Officer for the event together with the Queensland Bridge Federation are pleased to announce the incorporation of the Yeh Bros Cup 2009 into Australia's largest bridge tournament the Gold Coast Congress in February/March 2009.
Following an invitation by Therese Tully, the convener of the Gold Coast Congress to hold the tournament in Australia, the Yeh Bros Cup organisers warmly embraced the idea leading to the signing of the agreement.
It will be held at Jupiters Casino and Hotel on Queensland's Gold Coast and immediately adjacent to the venue for the Gold Coast Congress Pairs and Teams Championship.
The Yeh Bros Cup has been held in various cities in China and Taiwan and together with the Cavendish Invitational is regarded as one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. Participation is by invitation only and typically includes leading teams from world and zonal championships and with prize money exceeding $US150,000 the event attracts the finest players from around the world.
The timing of events has been structured to allow the participants in the Yeh Cup to continue to enjoy Australian hospitality as well as compete in the Gold Coast Teams Championship.
Yeh Cup Yeh Bros Cup 24 Invited Teams - Prize money exceeds $US150,000
Gold Coast Congress Pairs Championship March 1-3 (≈800 pairs)
Gold Coast Congress Teams Championship March 3-7 (≈400 teams)
It is hoped that this will herald a new era for the Australian bridge scene with more international players being attracted to our leading tournaments.
