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

where attendance warrants.(Intermediate < ~1000 mps)

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.

The Schedule of Games continues as follows:

Saturday and Sunday Afts 12:30pm Single Open Stratified

        (Weds and Fri Aft Open - IMP scoring)

Monday and Wednesday Eve 7:00pm Single Open Stratified

Thursday Eve 7:00pm Open Expert IMP game.

After September 7 Online schedule will be reduced

See Calendar below

Intermediate games are 18 boards (2 hours) long and

Open games are usually 21 or 22 boards (More on Thurs Eves).

Make sure you have BB$ in your account and register. You can even

 be nice and pay for your partner. Both players need to be online.

The usual price is 4 $US each. (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.
