- Public statement from bridgegod.com and myself
- The homepage of the Spanish Bridge Federation classifies the Barcelona tournament as a national event http://aebridge.com/aebdynamic/resultadosNacionales.asp. I saved a screenshot just in case that entry somehow gets miraculously altered at a later stage.
