GCBA Runs Face-To-Face and Online Games

Principles

We aim to hold quality events to attract top players and to help others developMonday evenings 1930 is our standard time for online games

We do not compete with the EBU and clubs for running events - we concentrate on teams and pairs events where top pairs play only top pairs etc.

We aim to provide a mix of pairs and teams events  
The latest GCBA Rules for the Cleverly Teams League are found here.

REALBRIDGE

GCBA Monthly Teams

The GCBA monthly Teams League is run on RealBridge and uses "self-announcing" and "screens" for these events. Self-announcing is the style commonly used on BBO where you type an explanation of your bid before making it. This avoids a lot of Unauthorised Information issues which arise in face-to-face games.  The screens hide partner and one of the opposition from the first bid to the last card played in each deal - and also cuts on the UI around, but more positively gives you a free space to chat to one of your opponents without disturbing the others at the table.
