Each member country of the World Bridge Federation is entitled to send one Open and one Women's Team to the World Mind Sport Games.
Teams eliminated from the qualifying stage and the Round of 16 (or 8) may re-form to become Mixed Teams and compete in the World Transnational Mixed Teams Championship.
All competitors in the Women's Teams will be offered free room and board in the media village apartments to encourage participation, as will some Open teams provided that their NBO sends at least one Youth Pair to compete in the WMSG in Beijing.
Please remember the qualification requirements for the 2009 Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup
