It's not really relevant - *somebody* will have to get permission from
the EBU for such games to take place.

The entities which rent the tables are outside direct EBU control while
the YC could be considered complicit in allow illegal bridge at their
premises - which are in territory allocated to the EBU until the EBU (or
WBF) say otherwise.

Probst, or indeed I, could organise *non-masterpoint* bridge anywhere we
want to as there is no requirement for to us to affiliate to any WBF
member.  It is only where clubs attempt to affiliate (e.g. by awarding
MPs recognised by a WBF member) that the laws matter.
