While the Club is closed, why not play in one or more of 26 Black Point games per week online in the
ACBL Support Your Club Games or the Daytona/Palm Coast Virtual Club Games?
THIS WEEK ONLY, there are 7 Virtual Club Games (See schedule below). These are special SILVER POINT games with TRIPLE MASTER POINTS AWARDED. The entry fee for the Virtual Club Games this week is $8.00 to cover the additional fees charged by ACBL, but you could win BIG Masterpoints. (Click HERE for more information about these games)
It's fun and easy. You'll earn Black Points and help the clubs, as the majority of entry fees are returned to the Clubs.
Entry fees are $5.00 to $6.00 per person. If you are unfamiliar with BBO, click the "Bridge Base Online Guides" button to the left on this page (or HERE) to learn how to set up a FREE account.
You may also click the "Request an Online Partner" button on the left menu bar of this home page if you would like to request a partner for any of these games,
or if you would like to find a steady partner. If you would like to find a partner on the BBO site, click "Register" for any of the tournaments, then select "Show Partnership Desk."
