The Venice Cup is for women only playing what?

The Venice Cup is a biennial world championship contract bridge tournament for national teams of Women. It is contested every odd-number year under the auspices of the World Bridge Federation (WBF), alongside the Bermuda Bowl (Open) and d'Orsi Bowl (Seniors). Entries formally represent WBF Zones as well as nations so it is also known as the "World Zonal Women Team Championship", one of three "World Zonal Team Championships". It was first contested in 1974, as one long match between two teams, and has been concurrent with the Bermuda Bowl from 1985.

Can't imaging winning an award for solitaire.

The question either needs a comma after "only", or preferably reworded. Perhaps "The women's only Venice Cup, is awarded to the winners of what type of card game?"

Thought of poker first, then thought of all the women playing bridge (including where I live). Also, the picture included a bridge.

badgerrick, women’s only competitions usually began because women were shut out of the men’s.

The picture of a bridge gave me the hint - intentionally or not.

tbear - I also fell into the Poker trap! I have tried several times to learn Bridge and it just defeats me, though I am a (fairly!) good chess player and even if we're talking cards I'm not bad a whist. Respect to all those who can play!

Bridge, naturally! So why did I guess poker??? What a dummy!

Why are the same people always telling the rest of us whether they got it right or wrong, it’s very boring, and why do they think it is of interest. I read the comments to see if someone has got something interesting to offer to the answer or as happens often, to dispute the explanation.
