The Organizing Committee of the 6th Chongqing Games said that Bridge is a highly competitive intellectual game in which players need to give full play to their wits and skills. It is also an elegant and rewarding form of sport and entertainment, as it can be a source of inspiration and refinement of judgment. There are three competition events: Open Team, Open Pairs and Mixed Pairs. The open team competition is divided into two stages: the first stage, using the points arrangement system or single round robin system; the second stage, the top four of the first stage to enter the semi-finals and finals. The open pairs and mixed pairs competitions are held under the Swiss Shift Pairs VP (imp) single championship system.

In recent years, Bridge sport in Chongqing has been developing and the team of enthusiasts has been growing gradually. The Bridge Game of the 6th Chongqing Games not only fully demonstrated the level of amateur chess and card sports in the city, but will also further drive the promotion and popularization of chess and card sports, enhance the enthusiasm and initiative of all districts and counties to develop intellectual sports, improve the mass participation of intellectual sports, and set off another chess and card sports boom in the city.
