The Common Game

Almost all pair game hands played at BCA are "Common Game" hands. This allows comparisons of results with players at many other clubs across the country, post-game analysis of many hands, "par" results specified, and personal "analytics" for individual players. Click to see recent BCA results.

3 classes - $80 (includes text) Sally Sassen, Instructor 

The 2/1 Game Forcing system is a popular variation of Standard American bridge. By agreeing to a game level early in the auction, it allows exploration of the best fit, and identifies slam potential earlier. Even if you don’t play the system, many people use it so it is a good idea to understand it.

1 class - $20 Sally Sassen, Instructor 

Designed for beginning duplicate players, we will cover completing Standard American and general convention cards, which should be filled out by each person at the table. We will also cover etiquette regarding duplicate games - using the bidding box, playing cards, keeping the game moving, what dummy can and can’t do, etc. Finally, we will discuss duplicate rules, common mistakes and director calls.
