Undos in Bidding
SBBC allows Undos for misclicks in the bidding, but not in the play.
As soon as you realise that you have misclicked you may ask for an Undo. 
The opponents will usually agree, in which case you may change your bid without penalty. 
If an opponent objects, or in case of doubt, the Director should be called immediately.
This brings us into agreement with most other Clubs

Please note that Undos are permitted only for genuine misclicks. 
You may not ask for an Undo if you realise that you made the wrong bid.

Undos are still not permitted for any misclicks during the play, irrespective of how these may occur

If you are worried that you might misclick inadvertently in bidding or in the play, you are reminded that you can use the "Confirm" bid or play facility within BBO by going to "Account/PLAYING/Confirm bids and/or Confirm cards"

Burnham Bridge Club also abides by the above policy

League of Eight

As usual, the Berks & Bucks County Association are running a League of 8 teams competition which will run from September 2024 to April 2025 and usually involve 8 or 9 matches against teams from other clubs in the area. Virtually all matches will be played online, primarily on Real Bridge, on an evening to be mutually agreed between each team captain.

Full details of this competition are on the Berks & Bucks website: CLICK HERE for information on Berks & Bucks website

SBBC are entering two teams in the league next season and entries are invited from anyone who plays at the club to show your interest! If you would like to play, please contact Evelyn Crossley at evelyn.crossley@yahoo.co.uk

Please click here for links to important changes to the White and Blue Books. The books cover guidance and regulations governing bridge in England.

The Blue Book contains information that players are most likely to need. The White Book is mainly for Tournament Directors, although some players may also find the content of interest.

Note, in particular, the new Blue Book regulations on Alerting and Announcing.

Players sometimes come along to face-to-face sessions without a Partner,
in the hope that someone else will be similarly placed, or that the Director will partner them.
Members may do that, but we do not guarantee a game for them.
If there is no other spare player available, the Director may play,
but strictly at their personal discretion and will not do so if it creates a half table or difficulty with the movement.
If you decide to come along without a partner you must arrive in good time and be prepared to play
with anyone else seeking a partner.
Please note that we have a partner finding service listed on our website; Please check if this lists
another player seeking a partner for the session that you are interested in.

Please Login Early for Online Games

Please register for online games in good time.  Preferably 10 but at least 5 minutes before starting time is appropriate.
Last minute logins cause  difficulties for the Tournament Director and might not be accepted

This is a reminder that the Club expects that everyone playing online must show their full name
(First and Surname) in their profile.
As a Club site, members should be able to see who they are playing against.
May we remind some of our newer players and a few more experienced ones that they should comply.

Members or anyone making enquiries about any aspect of the Club's bridge
are welome to contact any of the three SBBC Company Directors.
The details below show their special interests.

We continue to have a programme of Online Bridge via BBO and hold four weekly sessions of Face-to-Face bridge at the Club.
