As BBO is our Host Website we need all FOBC members to make sure that they have their details on their BBO profile.

It is an EBU recommendation, a BBO requirement and a FOBC rule that your name should be visible to anyone playing, by clicking on your BBO User Name. 

To do this:-

Log on to BBO,  go to your Account Tab (RH edge of the page or at the bottom on an Ipad/Tablet).

There are 4 tabs, choose  Profile.

Where it says Real name, enter your first name and surname (and if there is room please put FOBC member or just FOBC)

Alternatively, under this is other, this is where you can put in FOBC Member       

Under this you can type in your basic conventions which would read something like this: Basic Acol. Weak NT, 4Card Majors, Weak 2’s in Majors, Blackwood, etc

There is also a box you can scroll down and put in your skill level & another one for your country.

Click Save Changes before exiting the page.

There is also a Full Convention Card which you can fill in. Anybody who has played in League Matches for their Club or any EBU Tournaments will be familiar with these as it is a requirement of these events.

This is visible to your Opponents by them clicking on your name and it saves time and being distracted to having to answer the questions, when playing a hand.

To complete the Convention Card, this is shown on the FOBC website under the All about BBO section

That's it!  Happy 'bridging' everyone
