Real Duplicate with Real People
If you have been playing Solitaire or playing with robots, it might be time to get your toes wet with the Bridge 21 Virtual Clubs. It is real Duplicate with real people. Real nice people. Don’t be nervous. We are happy to walk you through the process. Just give Phillippa or Dan a call. This is the schedule for our local clubs.
Remember How to Get There:
The Bridge 21 Games are all through Virtual Clubs.
The route is Log In to BBO…click on Virtual Clubs, click on ACBL-North America…click on the Bridge 21 game you want.
Register well ahead of the game
Get your partnership registered well ahead of time. Log in and register (30-40 minutes early) so that there is time to resolve any issues or problems. NOTE: Games will be listed two hours before start time.
Be READY
It is super important that you be Logged In and in the right spot 5 minutes before game time. For example, if your partnership is registered to play at 2:45 but you are lolly-gagging around on the Casual site or playing Solitaire, the system will not be able to find you and will not know that you are online. During the last 5 minutes, make sure that you refresh/or re-LOG IN to BBO and get yourself to Virtual Clubs. Stay put until start time. Use the few extra minutes to review your responses to Weak Two Openers by partner.
If you are playing on an iPad
If you are playing on an IPad, give it a regular poke to keep it awake and attentive. IPads seem more frequently than laptops to nod off and you may get frozen out. It is so irritating. Refresh your IPad regularly. Especially if you are dummy.
If you are NOT an ACBL member
You CAN play in Bridge 21 games even if you are not an ACBL member but you MUST let Mark Lacroix know so that he can do his hocus pocus and ensure you have access. Call or email Phillippa or Mark IF you want to play Bridge 21 and are not an ACBL member. You will definitely need your BBO User Name
