Barrie Bridge Club News

You Can Play Your Hands Again!

Two User Manuals have been created to show you how to re-play your game hands!  They are located in the Blue Menu above, one for replaying REAL game hands and one for replaying VIRTUAL game hands.

At the end of every game (REAL or VIRTUAL), whose results have been uploaded to the Barrie Bridge CLUB Web Site, you have a number of REPLAY THE HAND AGAIN options:

  1. You can re-play any of your REAL game hands with full control over what card is played from each north/south/east/west hand.

You can experiment with different leads or playing strategies to see if you can get an extra trick or put your opponents down.

  1. For on-line VIRTUAL games you have three options.  You can replay the hand any way you choose as described in 1 above.

Or you you can replay the hand exactly, card for card, as you played it in your on-line game or any other pairs hands for that matter to learn from them.

Or, you can replay the hand exactly, card for card, as you (or others) played it in your on-line game, and then deviate at any time during the play and take a different line.

  1. You also have the option to download the game file (REAL or VIRTUAL) and import it to a different Bridge Computer Program that allows you to replay the hands.

  Welcome to the Learning Centre

If you have never played bridge before but would like to learn, please consider coming to our Absolute Beginner lessons which we hold every year in the Fall. The first set of six lessons (Bridge for Beginners 1) usually starts in the middle of September and continues into October. A further set of six lessons follows ( Bridge for Beginners 2 ) in November and December. After that we suggest you come to the Tuesday morning Learning Game for fun and practice in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Further lesson series (Bridge for Beginners 3 and Intermediate topics) are held at other times of the year depending on the perceived need and availability of the teachers.

If you would like any more details about our lessons, or would like to put your name on a list for notification of beginner lessons, please contact either Maggie Sparrow msparrow@csolve.net or Frank Mustoe fmustoe@utschools.ca
