Supervised play sessions are aimed at helping players to develop their confidence with bidding and playing.  These sessions are not a replacement for lessons and it is not intended that new conventions are taught.  The supervisors will help participants get the best of ouf the systems that each participant plays.  Each session offers the opportunity to play up to 12 pre-dealt hands with a supervisor giving advice on each of the hands.  The sessions are run in the teaching area of BBO and a Zoom session is established with each table placed in its own separate 'breakout room'.

Supervised Play sessions take place every fortnight and if you wish to join the session you should register on the booking form found on the calendar entry.  Registration will close at 17:00 on the Wednesday before the Friday that session is due to be held.  Joining instructions, including a list of tables and supervisors, will be sent out on the day before the session takes place.

After the session a set of notes will be distributed to all participants.
