Is bridge a sport or a game?
The UK high court will have to decide whether a card game bridge is a sport and should receive legal benefits.
The English Bridge Union (EBU), which has 55,000 members, argues that Sport England, the state body that allocates funding to non-professional sports associations, has a narrow definition of sport when it rejected an application in 2014 to recognize bridge as one.
