Today Santiago, tomorrow San Paulo?

Carl, our man in Lima, is representing Peru in the 59o Campeonato Sudamericano de Bridge in Santiago over the next week. At stake are places in the Bermuda Bowl this August, which is being held in 'nearby' Brazil.

My Spanish is not great, but I believe they play a full robin (9 teams), with the top 4 going into a play-off consisting of semifinals and final. Three teams will qualify for the Bermuda Bowl and I guess that Brazil and Argentina are the hot favourites.

The semifinals are being broadcast on BBO on May 21, so hopefully we'll have a chance to watch Carl.

Carl says that he is expecting a tough week as Peru is playing as a team of 5.

Chile also look favourites to take one of the BB slots.
