World Senior Pairs Championship
- World Senior Pairs Championship
The World Senior Pairs Championship is one of the competitions held as part of the World Bridge Championships. This Pairs competition was initiated in 1990 and is held every four years. Prior to 2005 both members of each pair had to be at least 55 years of age. The World Bridge Federation (WBF) has decided that, as from 2005, the minimum age for a player to be recognized as "Senior" will be increasing one year per year, until it reaches 60 years in 2010. [cite web|url=http://www.worldbridge.org/categories/seniors/default.asp|title=Senior Bridge|publisher=WBF official website] The decision ensures that 55-years olds who participated in a senior event in 2003 will never become "ex-Seniors".
