January F2F Games

• January is Junior Fund month, so lots of chances to support developing the next generation of bridge players!
  
  It's still really cold!

We are uncertain about the status of our Thursday games. In addition to checking the parking lot at the Club we will be evaluating road conditions in the area and may be contacting club members about their local situations. We will have a decision re F2F vs. on BBO on Wednesday.

Do you miss the sound of the dot matrix printer at the Club? You can make it your own!
Contact Dealin' Stephen B if you are interested. 

• The Owensboro Regional will be held Saturday-Sunday, February 7-8. No game at EDBC.

Please consult the Clubhouse on BBO for game types and schedules.

A note about Clubhouse games: when EDBC has an e-Club game scheduled, we hope you will play with us. When you are searching for a game at other times, please consider the Clubhouse; your home club gets a portion of the game fees.

♦ ACBL Clubhouse is changing it's game lineup frequently. Please check them out on BBO to find the games you want to join♦ 

The ACBL Clubhouse offers a schedule of pair and individual games throughout the day, everyday. All levels, from 0-20 to Open, are available. A portion of the fee for each Clubhouse registration is remitted to the player's home club.

The Clubhouse is also the only source of "Glitter Points" (silver, red, gold) on BBO, with the exception of certain special events.

EDBC Face-to-Face Schedule

(O=Open, L= 0-300, N=0-20)
 Monday & Thursday - O & L, 12:30 p.m.
Saturday - O , 12:30 p.m.
 

Game fees:

F2F games are $8 each, BBO games are $6 each. All Open and Limited F2F games are "special" which means points paid are higher than the standard club rates. Some even more special games, such as STaC, will pay silver, red or gold points. There will also be occasional special games on BBO, most of which pay double black points.

ACBL lifted restrictions on who can play in VACB games, so we hope we will attract more of our own members as well as those from other clubs. If you have an ACBL-member friend not associated with EDBC it will be much simpler to get them into our games. Contact Linda Cleek if you have questions.

BBO Open Stratified Games:
Tuesday & Friday 12:40 PM CT  
Sunday  2:00 PM CT

BBO 0-300 Stratified Games: 
Tuesday 12:15 PM CT 
Sunday 1:45 PM CT 

Note: Birthdays will be celebrated on the second Thursday of each month with the club providing cake. The fourth Saturday will be a carry-in lunch with the Club providing tea and lemonade. Attendees should register in advance (list at the Club) and bring a covered dish. There will be BOTH Open and 0-300 games.

Check this site and email notifications from our president for ongoing changes as we try to adapt to the needs and wants of our players. If you want to insure the continued success of EDBC, please support EDBC and ACBL with your participation in EDBC games at the Club and on BBO (VACB141994)!
