Please contact Fraser on 07306 027396 for information about joining BCL and how it operates.
*********************************************************************************************************
Our own club room is now running on BCL every Monday evening. Results appear on the Mansfield Mechanics website by the next morning (usually at about 11.15pm on Monday night).
In order to access the Mansfield Mechanics Club Rooms you must follow the steps below:
STEP 1 Login to Bridge Club Live
STEP 2 Click on the “Members” tab from the options available in the black band near the top of the page (do NOT select “Play Bridge” as you would usually do).
STEP 3 Click on “Clubs” from the grey drop down menu.
STEP 4 Hopefully you will see a message saying “You are registered with Mansfield Mechanics Bridge Club UK. Click on the arrow in the blue box (Enter your Club Page).
STEP 5 Click on the green “Play Bridge” button (It should say Your Club Tourney Session Code is MANSFD). Note – do not be distracted by the apparently incorrect Session Times further down the page, these are GMT times.
STEP 6 Select “Enter your F2F Club Rooms".
Make sure you can follow these steps - do not wait for a Monday evening. If there are any concerns then please contact Fraser.
*********************************************************************************************************
On a Monday evening the tournament room (labelled MANSFD 1-D-3) opens at 6.45pm. The next 15 minutes is available for you and your partner to get sorted and sit in the tournament room. The session starts at 7.00pm prompt – the system will not accept any further admissions to the room after this time so be punctual! You should endeavour to get seated as early as possible as any half table remaining at 7.00pm is (sadly) removed from the tournament.
The Tournament begins by pairs entering the room and sitting down as pairs. The first person of a PAIR, sits at a table by pressing "Start a Table". The Partner, enters the room, looks for their partner and then sits at that table as a partner and both confirm SSD's. Make sure that at least one player in each pair has highlighted the "Ready" option (in yellow). For some reason the system will not let all 4 players select "Ready". The server does all the rest by completing full tables with those pairs that are ready.
The system automates the movement so do NOT try to leave when a set of boards has been completed. Whatever happens on your screen please be patient while you are waiting for your next opponents. The system will complete your table when they are available. There will be 18 boards in total.
