From next bridge year (2015-2016) onwards, any player who wishes to participate in any APBF/WBF trials (Open, Ladies and Senior series) must be a HKCBA member for at least 2 consecutive years. So, if you would like to participate in the coming APBF/WBF trials in bridge year 2015-2016, you must be a HKCBA member in this bridge year 2014-2015. Please note that a registered player is not counted as a HKCBA member.

As far as I am aware, National Bridge Organisations can use whatever criteria they wish to select representative teams. I doubt that the Zonal authority and WBF will care as long as the criteria are not discriminatory.

The requirement to be a member of the NBO for two years seems reasonable, especially if the NBO provides funding and assistance to the selected teams.
