Team-of-Four Event: In the morning session, teams of four players, all representing the same high school, will play against each other to choose two finalists to compete head-to-head in the afternoon session. The winning team in the afternoon will receive a large trophy for their school and each team member will receive an individual replica of the trophy and a $200 prepaid gift card. Members of the 2nd place teams will win $100 prepaid gift cards. Additional prepaid gift cards will be awarded if more than six teams enter the event.

Pair Event*: Members of teams that do not qualify for the finals of the team event can stay for lunch and compete in the afternoon pair event, which will also be open to new entrants. Players who wish to compete only in the pair event can arrive for lunch at 1:00 PM and stay to play bridge. Winners of the pair event will each receive a small individual trophy and a $125 prepaid gift card. The second place pair will each receive a $60 prepaid gift card. If more than eight pairs enter, the third place pair will also receive prepaid gift cards.

*Pairs need not consist of two players from the same school. SiVY volunteers will try to find suitable partners for players who need them.
