World Transnational Open Teams Championship
- World Transnational Open Teams Championship
The World Transnational Open Teams Championship is a major side event staged after the qualifying stages for Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup, and Senior Bowl have been concluded. Teams that failed to qualify in the main event as well as new teams may enter. It is not necessary that all team members be from the same country – hence the transnational. A series of Swiss matches leads to the qualification of the top four teams for knockout semifinals and finals.
