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. 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.
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.
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>.
