This note is a basic tutorial for those who have not played bridge online at Bridgebase.  It’s intended to help you register and get started. Experienced players need not read further.

 Bridgebase allows you to play solitaire to reserving a table or multiple tables.   It's free but you can play for Master Points for a fee.  Here’s how to get started:    

It’s very easy.  Here’s how to get started.

1. Go to Bridgebase.com   To avoid being redirected,  use the button on this note or the website.
2. Save the site on your desktop.  
3. Click on the register / sign-in  box in the top right corner.
4.  Create an ID and password - standard method.
5. The next screen has two headings: 
   1. Play or watch Bridge
   2. Featured Areas  
6. If this is your first time, click on Solitaire under Play or Watch Bridge– you’ll see how easy it is to play. 
7. Before you play with a player, go to Account  / Profile on the right hand side.  Give yourself a skill level and write a few words on conventions you play:  2/1,  1430, etc.
8.  Then go back to Casual and click Take me to the first available table. Don’t be offended if you are booted.   If you clicked novice and end up in a game with advanced players, the host will boot you.

My recommendation –you and your regular partner each sign -up.  Then start a table. You can reserve seats for you two or four.   When they sign on, they’ll go directly to the reserved seat.
