EBC ONLINE BRIDGE

Many of you have found ways to play bridge online. We now have a

VIRTUAL CLUB on Bridgebase Online (BBO). We are able to offer ACBL

 masterpoints and unlimited tables, but we have to charge a fee for this.

We offer many separate OPEN and INTERMEDIATE games.

In BBO, under Virtual clubs, then ACBL clubs, Scroll through pending games,
look for or search VACB130096 and EDMONTON in caps.
It may be easier to find next time, if you 'follow' or 'friend' our VACB130096 identity.

Current Schedule of Games

See Calendar below:

Make sure you have BB$ in your account and register.
Both players need to be online to register.
The player inviting must be a member; the invitee can be a guest.
The usual price is 4 $US per player.
(80% goes to supporting our club and directors)
Occasionally, the ACBL charges a higher sanction, which we have to add to the price.

Hand Records now available on EBC Results Page Calendars

You do not have to be an ACBL member to play

but you do have to attach your ACBL member number

to your BBO profile to receive masterpoints.

Do this by going to ACBLworld, click blue button <Update ACBL Number>.

If you would like tutorials about BBO, some can be found <HERE>

If you have yet to discover online bridge you can still check out

our guide sheet, click the first green button below:

If you have questions about BBO you can contact Don at ddg4bridge@gmail.com

Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.

Be safe and healthy. Don't panic. Be of help to others.
