Malta Bridge Ranking

Malta participates in European and World bridge competitions, with rankings tracked via European Master Points (EMP) and World Bridge Federation (WBF) Master Points, though specific current rankings for Maltese players are not publicly listed.

Overview of Malta in Bridge Competitions

The Malta Bridge Association organizes local bridge events, club sessions, and national competitions, providing a platform for Maltese players to compete and earn points that contribute to their international ranking . Maltese players can accumulate European Master Points (EMP) through participation in European tournaments, which are tracked by the European Bridge League . These points determine player classification and ranking within Europe.

At the global level, the World Bridge Federation (WBF) maintains an Open Ranking based on Master Points (MPs) earned in international competitions . While the WBF publishes the top-ranked players worldwide, Maltese players are generally not listed among the top ten, reflecting the smaller size of Malta's bridge community compared to larger countries. Points earned more than a year ago are reduced annually by 15%, so rankings are dynamic and reflect recent performance .
