Instant Electronic Scoring

New Chiswick BC duplicates are scored electronically, using the BriAn mobile app system.  Players can see the progress of the tournament 'in the running' and final results are available as soon as the tournament is complete.  Results are posted promptly to this website. 

BriAn (= "Bridge on iPhone and Android") uses mobile phone technology to replace traditional tabletop scorers and players can use their own smart phones or other devices, such as smartphones or iPads. Spare scoring tablets can be supplied by the club. You can install BriAn on your own device.  Search for 'BriAn Bridge Client' in the App Store (apple devices) or PlayStore (android devices). Installation and use is free of charge to the player; it is the club that pays a small user fee to host events. You can read more about BriAn at www.brianbridge.net.

Duplicate Bridge - Tuesdays 7.15pm

Last year the weekly New Chiswick BC duuplicate tournaments relocated to  the new London Mindsports Centre in Hammersmith.  "The Mindsports" is an attractive and accessible venue for Bridge, Chess and Go. The building was a former Salvation Army hall but has been sympathetically converted to provide to a welcoming venue for bridge and other games. There is a licensed bar for drinks, snacks, tea/coffee, etc

Find the Mindsports Centre at 21-23 Dalling Road, Hammersmith, London W6 0JD.  This is three minutes from Ravenscourt Park tube station (District Line) and close to Hammersmith buses including 100, 190, 267, H91 etc.  Street parking is free in the evening and spaces can usually be found nearby.

Start time for the New Chiswick duplicates is 7.15pm on Tuesdays, usually the THIRD TUESDAY of each month.  We aim to play 24 boards and finish play before 10.30pm.  Table money is £10.00.  If the numbers build up we may play more frequently.

The duplicates are registered with the English Bridge Union, so master points are awarded and the games are eligible for the National Grading Scheme ('NGS').  The table money includes the EBU "Pay-to-Play" levy. the standard is intermediate to advanced.

Visitors and new players including those new to duplicate are always welcome at no extra charge and we operate a host system so that single players are always guaranteed a partner.

Five Online Tournaments A Week

Since the Covid pandemic, New Chiswick Bridge Club, in common with other clubs in Ned Paul's 'stable', meets regularly for online bridge.  We are currently (Jan 2023) scheduling five tournaments each week, with both daytime and evening games available, 
We use the bridge playing site https://www.bridgebase.com/ (known as 'BBO') to run these games and play between 18 and 21 deals in approximately two hours. All members of any of Ned Paul's clubs plus friends may play: and even if you have not played in any of Ned Paul's clubs you may ask to play.   For full details and timings of current online games, and results of past games, see Ned's other webiste
The New Chiswick Bridge Club Ladder
The New Chiswick Bridge Club Ladder

Everyone who plays in the duplicates at New Chiswick Bridge Club participates in the Club Ladder.  Your Ladder score is the percentage by which you beat 50% in any week's duplicate.  Accumulate Ladder points by playing regularly.

At the end of each cycle the current Ladder leader receives a £40 prize. After receiving their prize, each winner will then be given a handicap sending them back down the field. All other players' scores carry forward, leaving the erstwhile winner to play catch up if they hope to repeat their feat.  You can win more than once but each time you win your handicap becomes greater.  In this way all those who play regularly will in their turn stand a chance of winning.
