Easy Bridge Hertford is an independently-run service founded by Paul and Patricia Quayle in 2000.  We specialize in duplicate play at a "no fear" standard.  Click "Calendar" on left for duplicate sessions.

Play:  Mondays at 2:00 pm:  Duplicate Ladder Pairs (with "find me a partner" host service), based online via RealBridge.

All dates are on the website:  click "Calendar" in left side menu.

Updates & Events for 2025-26

• Click "Calendar" in the lefthand menu for all scheduled dates to June 2026.
• We try to avoid a sitout table at most sessions, so usually 20 to 21 boards played by all.
• You can join any Monday session any time from 1:40 pm.  In our lefthand menu or righthand tab, click "Calendar" or "RealBridge Login" .  Keep your login name consistent for every session.  Please leave the lobby area no later than 1:55 pm and take your seat with partner.
• Scores are available throughout the session and at the end, both on the RealBridge site and on this site within a few minutes (see post mortem advice below). You can review hands in detail at your leisure.
• Please ensure that your table money account remains in credit or at zero balance (£4.00 per session). We send a standard email reminder for any overdrawn account, but not for zero balances. Email us for payment details at easybridgehertford@gmail.com or on 01992 589660. If using "Payee Verification", name "Howard Quayle" works best. New players are welcome, but please contact us first.
• Note on Undo requests: If you mis-click in your bidding box (without changing your mind), you can click "request undo" provided partner has not subsequently called. Opponents should normally allow the undo without calling the Director. Any legal replacement call stands.  If you mis-click in card play, please do not request an undo as opponents are not required to allow it.
• Announcing and alerting: EBU Rules have been updated. In our menu click "Announcing & Alerting" for a summary.
• Monday hand post mortems:  For simplicity, we now recommend logging back in to RealBridge:  just click the Real Bridge tab on the results page for that day on our website. Using the yellow highlighted tab for your partnership is not always reliable in opening the BBO graphics display.
• IPads, MacBooks, iMacs & Lenovo laptops:  If you are using one of these devices you might be experiencing audio/visual etc. problems, depending on software. Fixes are available from RealBridge on their website:  click "Contact", then click under "Video and Sound Support Options".  www.realbridge.online;  support@realbridge.online;  07942 322209.
• Windows using Microsoft Edge Browser:  If you have installed the latest browser version, it might be adding icons to the bidding box. Fix this via the RB website as above:  click on the last option listed under "Windows".

It's always worth checking this page between noon and 1:00 pm each scheduled Monday.  The "next session" notice below will be altered from OPEN to CLOSED for the relevant day.  Check no earlier than 12:00 noon.
