| News about a New BBO Game |
The Bridge Club of Houston has joined the SE Carolina Club Consortium for on-line games!
WE WILL CONTINUE ALL OF OUR OWN CURRENT CHOOSE HOUSTON GAMES:
- TUESDAY & THURSDAY AT 7PM Central time
- MENTOR/MENTEE GAMES ON THE 1ST AND 3RD MONDAYS AT 7PM Central time
Why did we join?
If you play in SE Carolina Club virtual games, BCoH will receive ~$1 for each time you play.
What is the SE Carolina Consortium?
- In August, ACBL relaxed restrictions so that virtual clubs may allow any player entry into their virtual games so SE Carolina Club built a consortium of clubs
- BCOH will benefit from revenue sharing provisions from our players as they increase the number of their games and their table counts
- They are competing effectively with the BAND, Southeast Knoxville/Big Orange and other large virtual clubs on pricing and game sizes · Their website is https://sites.google.com/view/se-club-of-clubs/home
