BRIDGE CLUB LIVE 

https://www.bridgeclublive.com/

All  face to face bridge (unless you can make up a four in your household!) is on hold at the moment, but you can still play online on Bridge Club Live.   If you register as an Abbeygate member (see below how to do this) you can see which other Abbeygate members are in the club, in which room, and whether playing or lurking, by clicking on Local Club at the top of the screen.

• We have a private room for Duplicate Bridge on Monday evenings, 6.40 for 7.00 pm.  Meet on Zoom beforehand at 6.30 pm.
• The Main DIDO (DropinDropout) Tournament in the DailyMPs Room provides a fully approved automated movement to any partnership with a minimum commitment to 4 boards at each sitting and a minimum of 16 boards during each 1 day Session to be listed on the Leader Board. All boards played are fully archived, and can be replayed at any time and compared with all others who have played the same board.
• As a CLUB FACILITY, a dedicated Ladder for each registered club lists the results for all those club members as a subset of the overall DIDO Tournament result. Each Club will have its own single Web page with information, specific to that club and a list of players' ALIAS's who have registered online.
• All the other regular tournament rooms including Teams of 4, plus a social room and a Coaching Corner are also available.
