The 22nd Edition of The Links BBO Teams League ran for 5 weeks, from 11 October - 15 November.

Congratulations to the Pincus team for coming from behind to narrowly beating out Bloom for the overall win.

BBO Registration

♠ ♥ ♣ ♦  Registration for The Links BBO Pairs tournaments open 2 hours before each tournament. 

Pairs are encouraged to register early, and then actively log back into BBO a few minutes before the start.

If you register early and remain stationary on the site, there is a strong possibility that your device may "freeze", which may prevent you from starting the tournament.

This appears to be prevalent on Apple devices (mostly iPads).

Only a few minutes will be allowed for offline players to get back online, before the tournament will start without offline pairs. ♠ ♥ ♣ ♦
