Each year at the Australian National Championships (ANC), teams from various states and territories of Australia compete against each other over five fays of competitive bridge.
In order to select these teams, states will run an Interstate Team Selection (ITS) events for four separate categories. These events are known as the Open ITS (OITS), the Womens’ ITS (WITS), the Seniors ITS (SITS), and the Youth ITS (YITS).
Eligibility rules for the selection process are as follows:
- Only registered players who identify as female may play in the WITS.
- Only registered players who were 63 or older on January 1 in the year of the event may play in the SITS. (In future years this will be amended to 64).
- Only registered players who are turning an age of 25 years or younger during the year of the event are eligible for the YITS. Note: Older (ex-Youth) players may play in the YITS with the permission of Youth Committee Chair or other person delegated by the Board, such as the YITS event organiser.
