| Facebook Group - Belleville Duplicate Bridge Club (BDBC) |
Our club now has a Facebook Group! This group is for our members and bridge friends to keep informed about the club, see results of our games and to help with finding partners. I will be restricting membership to people that we know from the bridge community.

| New Game Fee and Membership Fee for 2025/2026 - $5 and $10 |
The club's executive board has decided that our club remains financially healthy, thanks to the participation levels of all of our members at our new location and our previous funds. As a result the fee that we collect at each game will remain at $5 until the end of 2026. We will re-evaluate the club's finances after the year to determine if changes to the fee are needed. The non-member game fee will remain at $6.
In addition, the board will keep the annual membership fee at $10. This will also be re-evaluated at the end of the year.
We truly appreciate everyone's support of the club while moving to our new location and we hope that you continue to enjoy your games, without searching for toonies for every visit.

| Recent Score Updates |
You may have noticed that sometimes you receive several emails from ACBL Live for one of our games. Well, as you may have guessed, this happens when we make changes to the scores, based upon your feedback and the Correction of Scores rule described below. Since you may be curious (or furious) about the updates, I will be posting the background to these changes in this section of our site. I will often need to reference the document Laws of Duplicate Bridge, 2017 version, which you can find on the ACBL Website at this link.
If you have any issues or questions about any of our games feel free to contact me via email at: peter@tarle.com

1. Correction of Scores
Occasionally the score entered into Bridgemates for a hand does not reflect the actual outcome at the table. Even though these results may have been accepted by the E/W team, at times such errors are not noticed before pushing the accept button. Since we always want the scores posted online and in ACBL to reflect the actual bridge play and not clerical errors, we will allow scores to be corrected with the following rules applied:
1. The request for change needs to be given to the director or club manager prior to the start of the next game, via email or in person.
2. If both partnerships agree with the change, the scores will be updated.
3. If only one partnership agrees with the change, the director will decide whether they think the change should be made. (This provides two out of three among the parties involved: NS, EW and Director)
Note that after a change has been accepted, it may take several days for the update to be made due to logistics and email exchanges required.
