Welcome to the bridge results and club site for Bernard Magee Bridge.

Bernard Magee Bridge is a subscription website for bridge lovers. The site has a mixture of seminar, teaching, playing of set hands, quizzes and live over the shoulder events.

Bernard does three live broadcasts a week, so there is a constant stream of information at your fingertips. The emphasis is on fun, learning, playing and good company.

The results for Bernard Magee Bridge Holidays will also be displayed here.

BMB Holidays offers bridge cruises, bridge holidays abroad and bridge breaks in the UK: you can see their wide range of events at BMBholidays.com

This is where all of the results and information for the bridge playing side of BMB will appear. We are starting in a very experimental way - looking for your feedback and involvement. This club is being created for your benefit so please help us to help you. As you will see below there are a variety of game choices and from the calendar you will see a number of time choices too. We want to create games that suit your needs. As we return to live bridge, the scores from BMB holiday events will also be uploaded to this site.

Bernard Magee Bridge is starting BBO duplicates from June 1^st. To play these games you will need to purchase BBO dollars – when you are logged in to BBO you can press the shopping cart icon to purchase these.

Please make sure you purchase BBO dollars on BBO and NOT through an APP. BBO dollars should cost one dollar for one dollar - about 70p for a dollar. (Through an APP the app provider will add a commission).

NOTE: these games are for BMB Members only

There will be a variety of tournaments – of different durations and levels:

8-board events - aimed to last just under one hour ($2.50)

An hour of bridge, which I think is quite a neat nuance of internet bridge; I like the idea of being able to fit in a game in such a comfortable pocket of time.

12-board events - with a little extra time per round ($3.00)

Internet bridge can be quite quick and having a little extra time will help a few players. These games are open to everybody but might be more suited to novice-intermediate players.

16-board events - for a more normal duplicate pairs event ($3.50)

I think that 16 boards is about the maximum for internet bridge games. With the intensity of focus and speed, the mind seems to get exhausted more quickly. These should last just under two hours.

The BBO price is to cover the cost of the tournament and the director – BMB is not trying to make a profit from these games – we are putting them on in response to requests from members.

I am keen to have your feedback and will change the times and regularity of events depending on the number of players and your general thoughts.

The Set Hand games remain the same and their dates and times are in your weekly emails and on the site calendar. They remain free of charge.
