Online Events |
All our sessions are open to non-members but you must register by filling in the form on the right hand side of the page. You need do this only once but do it as soon as you can. We create our 'allowed players' list from these submissions - usually several hours before the event. The events list is shown on the calendar (top right). Monday PM, Wednesday AM and Friday PM are level2 sessions with Wednesday is for players with an NGS level of 7 or under.
The Wednesday morning session is for our less experienced players. For those with an NGS grading, it should be 7 or below. The director watches this event and sends comments later in the week to our players.

How to quicken your chat
We recommend you make yourself familiar with "Chat Manager"
You can type messages into your chat manager and save them. A good message to store is your basic system, particularly if you are playing something different. You could store a message "Hi Opponents, We play Acol 4 card majors 12/14 NT with three weak twos."
Then every time a new round starts you can send the message to Table without it taking typing time.
You might also like to store standard replies to queries about your system, for example an explanation of what your multi two diamond opener means.
To find your way around Chat Manager click BBO Chat Manager in the left side menu

Where to find us on BBO > Competitive > All Tournaments |

This is the view you get when you sign into BBO and enter the Competitive area followed by All Tournaments. You want the pending tab. Event start time is 13:15 but register well before that to allow time for any problems.
- In the search bar (top right) enter vEBU, this will list just those tournaments run by EBU virtual clubs.
- The County Bridge Club host will always be vEBU207910.
- To chat to the director (host) click on the gray box where you see vEBU207910.
- To enter the tournament click the white area containing "County Bridge Club Fri .....".
- One of the pair registers the pair, the other member of pair receives an invitation to accept. Know your partners BBO UserName and best to have you partner as a "Friend" in the People Tab..
- The event will not appear as pending until 2 hours prior to the event, so will not show now for instance.

If you are disconnected while in a duplicate session |
- Don't panic!!
- If you lose connection and then log back in you will automatically be taken back to your seat. This will happen immediately if no substitute has been brought in and at the end of a hand if a substitute has been used.
- Once we are up and running the event will show in the running tab. So if you are struggling to get back to the table find us in the running tab and click on the host to Chat.
- You will not be able to "Chat" to your partner during the session so Chat to host is the option you should take.

UNDOs will not be allowed |

The EBU best advice is to bar the use of the UNDO button for mis-clicks, and all our duplicate sessions will follow that advice. The reason is that it removes all problems of whether the UNDO is for a mis-click or a change of mind as well as preventing a delay in the bidding or play. A mis-click is more likely to damage the pair mis-clicking than the opposition but in the event that it does damage the opposition there is regrettably no redress, the director will rule that you have to live with the apparent injustice. The mis-click must not be brought to the attention of the partner and there is no obligation to volunteer the mis-click to the opposition.
If you are prone to mis-clicks then we strongly recommend you change your Account tab > Settings > Confirm bids / Confirm cards to ON so that you have to confirm with bids with an OK button and click a card twice to play.

If you have never played bridge online and feel a bit intimidated by what's involved, then please don't be!
Below are the three most popular sites, BBO, FunBridge and Bridge Club Live. CBC are focusing on BBO and we have video tutorials to help you register and use BBO. Click the boxes in the left column containing the BBO and YouTube icons to get your step by step video guides.
On the right you can click for "BBO Nuggets" which provides what we hope are useful tips to help your online experience in a question and answer format. If you have a nugget to add then please let us know.
What we are attempting to do is making sure as many members as possible are registered and up and running ready for our first BBO online duplicate session on Friday 26th June. There is plenty of help available for you and we have a number of volunteers who will practice with you. Ask any committee member or contact Richard Smith on 07555 067 346 who will get help organised. Promise you that once you have taken the plunge it really is not too difficult.
