The Thursday evening BBO pairs for all local players will continue for the foreseeable future.

Release 2.19r
Welcome to Herefordshire Bridge Association

There will be weekly online pairs sessions on BBO every Thursday at 7pm. Entry is 4 BBO$.

These are open to all members of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire clubs, and other HBA members. They are EBU registered sessions, played with EBU regulations, with master points and NGS.

 

To participate there are three basic requirements:

  • You must be registered on BBO;
  • You have a deposit of at least 4 BB$ in your BBO account;
  • You need to be pre-registered for these sessions. This only needs to be done once. If you have already registered for the Ross-on-Wye Virtual Bridge Club, you will automatically be registered, so just turn-up and play.
    Otherwise, you must inform Chris Chowney at chris@chowneyflint.net that your partnership intend to play AND supply your BBO log-on names and EBU numbers.

To find detailed instructions on using BBO, and how to join these sessions, choose the menu item "Online Bridge".

If you haven’t played online bridge before this could be an opportunity to start. We are also offering help on playing on BBO. If you are interested, contact us through the website (under menu item "Information") or email Chris Chowney.

The difference from face-to-face bridge that most people struggle with is "self-alerting" so please check this out.

 

Thanks to Ross and Newent Bridge Clubs for providing most of the documentation.
