Template:Short description The World Senior Pairs Championship is one of the competitions held as part of the quadrennial World Bridge Championships (formerly World Pairs Olympiad), inaugurated at the 8th rendition of the meet in 1990.

Prior to 2005 both members of each pair had to be at least 55 years of age. In 2005, the World Bridge Federation (WBF) decided that the minimum age for a player to be recognized as Senior would be increasing one year per year, until it reached 60 years in 2010.[1] The decision ensured that 55-year-olds who participated in a senior event in 2003 would never become ex-Seniors.

Results

World meets commonly run for 15 days on a schedule whose details vary.

In 2006 the Senior Pairs played Tuesday to Friday, the 11th to 14th days of the meet, after completion of all teams competition for seniors. There were eight sessions with 103 pairs on the first two days, 98 on the third, and 88 on the fourth.[2]

In seven renditions of the Senior Pairs through 2014, no player has won more than one medal.[3]
