Every day, upon the tournament's start, Fulvio's partner will be chosen through draw lots (with the exception of the VUGRAPH tournament, when Fulvio's partner will be the winner of the overall ranking); his would-be partner will pair with Vincenzo.
We will set up an overall ranking of the first 11 tournaments, not including the final tournament that will be broadcast on VUGRAPH, which will take into account each player's 8 best results out of all the tournaments played. The first 6 top ranking players will win a prize. The overall ranking will be shown every day in the Tournament room and will be also available at the HELP DESK.

JANUARY 2ND SPECIAL TOURNAMENT "TROFEO ANGELINI"
On January 2nd the evening tournament will be broadcast on Bridge Base Online Vugraph.
We will partly set up the pairs' layout at table according to the overall ranking at December 31st (after the first 8 weekly tournaments).
The overall ranking top player after December 31st tournament will be Fulvio's partner in the Vugraph tournament, and will sit in NORTH-SOUTH position at the "VUGRAPH" table. The hands played at this table will be broadcast live on BBO. The 2nd top ranking player will be Vincenzo's partner and will sit in EAST-WEST position at the "VUGRAPH" table so that he will play at Fulvio's table during the first shift of the tournament. Players ranking from 3rd to 10th position are entitled to choose their own partner and can also decide to pick the EAST - WEST position at the tables that will give them the chance to challenge Fulvio at VUGRAPH table during the other shifts of the tournament.


TOTOVACANZA

"TOTOVACANZA" is a prize game open to all subscribers to the Bridge Vacation.

The Target of the game
All participants will receive some pools coupons that they will fill in with 4 forecasts:
the first forecast is who between Fulvio and Vincenzo will score more points in the first 11 weekly tournaments (VUGRAPH tournament is not included);
the remaining three forecasts are about who, among all the other players, will score the best score in the overall ranking of the first 11 weekly tournaments.

The jackpot will be awarded to the participant who, besides guessing the winner between Fulvio and Vincenzo, will also forecast the best position in the overall ranking among all the participants to the vacation.
The third and fourth forecast will be taken into account only in case that 2 participants will indicate the same names in the first and second forecast.

Rules
    All participants to the vacation are entitled to fill in the "TotoVacanza" pools coupons.
    The fee for each coupon is € 10,00
    Each participant to the vacation can fill in one or more coupons.
    Coupons must be handed over to the Tournament Director within Thursday, December 27th at 11:00pmm
    The jackpot of the game consists of 100% of the amount cashed.

Jackpot awarding
Jakpot will be awarded to the participant who will guess - first of all - the winner of the challenge between FULVIO and VINCENZO, and consequently will also guess in the following order:
 1) In the second forecast the best ranking position (o the top ranking position) in the overall ranking. In case of tie among two or more participants
2) In the third forecast the best ranking position (o the top ranking position) in the overall ranking. In case of further tie
3) In the fourth forecast forecast the best ranking position (o the top ranking position) in the overall ranking and, in case of further tie, the jackpot will be split among the winners.
In other words, among all participants who will guess the winner in the challenge between Fulvio and Vincenzo, the jackpot will be assigned to the participant who will also guess the player participating to the bridge vacation with the best ranking position in the overall ranking of the first 11 tournaments (in case of more winners we will check their forecasts for the second and third best ranking player).
