Heritage Hills Duplicate Bridge Club

We play twice a week at the Heritage Hills Activities Center. The club asks that players arrive at least ten minutes before the scheduled game time, so the director can set up the movement in a timely fashion.

As the Covid threat level is moderate, mask wearing will be optional at bridge, although players can request that others at the table wear masks. Group refreshments are no longer being offered during the game, although players can bring their own drinks and snacks.

Charity Games

We collected money for charity in 2025.

In November the club raised $160 for the local food bank.

The Club raised $300 for the Alzheimer's Association during the week of the ACBL's Longest Day event. In a single fundraising game in 2024 HHDBC raised $150. Thanks to all who contributed!
The Common Game

HHDBC has joined The Common Game!

 

What is The Common Game? 

It's a grouping of ACBL-affiliated clubs that broadens the competition by playing the same hands across many clubs. Lots more statistics and analysis, too if you explore their website. If your friends elsewhere across the country are playing at the same day and time as you are, you can compare results!

So now, if you play at Heritage, afterward you can see your results on our own website, on the ACBL website that most of you are familiar with, or on The Common Game website.

Yes, The Common Game awards their own points to determine the best players across their member clubs, but you get no extra ACBL points for any of this.

If The Common Game has your email address on file they may now start sending you results emails. If you would like to receive those and you're not getting them, or if you ARE receiving them and you don't want them, send your own email to help@thecommongame.com with your ACBL number in the subject line, and tell them what you want them to do!

Any more questions, email or ask Club Manager Karen Sloan.
Zero Tolerance

The Heritage Hills Club discourages disruption and encourages friendly play.

Click to see a full copy of our Zero Tolerance policy.
Keeping Score

WARNING: According to ACBL laws, during a game at least one partner must keep a legible convention card with the proper score (not plus, minus or average, but the correct number.)

The club must enforce this rule because any time there is a computer issue the director will have to require scores to be recorded on paper on a pickup slip.

Those who don't comply will receive a zero score on any board that is not scored properly.
Important Information

Heritage Hills members can view the Club's annual report via the News Page. It is password protected. So are things like the pictures of the Holiday Party.

If you would like to view everything, if you haven't already done so head to the Members area and ask that a link be sent to your email address to set up your password.
