An unique annual competition played simultaneously in clubs all over the world. A set of pre-dealt hands is forwarded to participating clubs and played at a normal duplicate. The scores are then sent to the WBF's central computer which produces world wide results and classification. Tens of thousands of players take part without having to move from their home place. The event has been described as the world's biggest sports competition.
