DRESS CODE

In the European Open, Ladies and Senior Teams Championships the following dress code applies.

General Policy

The whole team, including the Captain, Coach and NBO Officers must wear the same uniform. Thus trousers (and skirts) and tops must be of the same colour and general design. The team uniform must contain the logo of the country and may contain discreet sponsor logos.

Formal Occasions

Uniform consisting of blazer and tie (or neck scarf), all of the same colour with logo indicating the country, and trousers and skirts all of the same colour.

During Play

Tee shirts, polo shirts, shirts and blouses all of the same colour with the team's logo indicating the country, and trousers and skirts all of the same colour.

Team members must be supplied with changes of clothing so that they look smart at all times. Women may wear skirts or trousers.

If sweaters, cardigans and sweatshirts are used they must be of the same colour and carry the team logo. Team members cannot wear shorts or open-toed sandals.

Publicity

The team uniform must contain the logo of the country and may contain discreet sponsor logos.

N.B. The World Bridge Federation's dress code is as follows:

'NBOs are asked to take note of the recognition of Bridge as a Sport by the IOC and requests that players should, at all times, be dressed appropriately; this is particularly the case at the Opening Ceremony, when it is hoped that teams could at least be uniformly dressed even if a team uniform is not available. During play appropriate dress would, for example, be an open-necked shirt, or a smart polo or sweatshirt worn with trousers or skirt as appropriate.'


Approved by the EBL Executive Committee, March 2001
