They were sponsored by the International Mind Sports Association and organised by the General Administration of Sport of China and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sport.〔 (A successful first edition of The World Mind Sports Games ).

Evidently this is a translation from Chinese. 〕 Provisionally, the second WMSG will be August 2012 in Lille, France.〔 World Mind Sports Games〕 Contract bridge was one of the five disciplines or mind sports constituting the first WMSG: bridge, chess, draughts, go, and xiangqi. The World Bridge Federation calls the bridge competitions collectively the "World Bridge Games".〔 WBF has published inconsistent details regarding which events were part of the first WMSG, which have been incorporated in the WMSG, which constitute the World Bridge Games, and so on. Some points may be resolved after formal announcement of the second World Mind Sports Games, anticipated for 17 November 2011. 〕 According to the WBF, it incorporated the World Team Olympiad (1960 to 2004) and several youth events in the World Bridge Games "as the stepping stone on the path of introducing a third kind of Olympic Games (after the Summer and the Winter Olympics)".〔 (World Bridge Games ). World Bridge Federation (WBF). Retrieved 2011-05-24. 〕 The World Masters Individual tournaments (Open and Women) were also incorporated, at least in Beijing.〔〔 The two Individual fields are composed by invitation rather than by national representatives, a distinction that may govern some WBF listings including the one in its "World Bridge Games" overview. 〕 The first World Bridge Games featured special〔 national teams, pairs, and individual competitions for players under age 28 (U-28), as well as traditional national teams championships for the Under-26 "juniors" and Under-21 "youngsters".〔 (1st World Mind Sports Games ). Contemporary coverage of the bridge competitions. WBF. Retrieved 2011-05-24. • Incomplete references are subpages of this WBF contemporary coverage. 〕 Hereafter the competition for youth teams, pairs, and individuals will all use the age limits that are familiar in bridge, U26 and U21.〔 Maybe.〔〔 For three years of the supposed cycle, the WBF has called the Under-28 bridge tournaments at the first Games exceptional (and the footnote to its "World Bridge Games" capsule still says so, 2011-11-04). It has said that the quadrennial Games will henceforth feature the u-26 and u-21 categories that are now standard in youth bridge. According to a July 2011 announcement, however, the World Youth Teams with familiar u-26 and u-21 tournaments will not be part of the 2nd Games (August 2012). Rather, the Mind Sports Games will again feature u-28 teams and the now-three flights of World Youth Teams will be held July/August in Cuba. • (Youth Bridge Schedule Changes ).

Turkey won its first medals in world bridge, in the events for Pairs and Individuals under age 28. The category is considered a novelty and an exception in bridge, two years older than the established Juniors category, but it is the standard age limit for university games (FISU) including the "World University Cup" that was part of the 2000 and 2004 Teams Olympiads.〔 (University Bridge ).
