Tournaments
We use the bridge playing site https://www.bridgebase.com/ (known as 'BBO') to run these games. There are now a minimum of six games a week. All games are 18 boards, matchpointed pairs. Current games are:
| * Monday daytime - 12.30pm |
* Monday evening - 7.30pm |
| * Wednesday daytime - 12.30pm |
* Wednesday evening - 7.30pm |
| * Friday daytime - 12.30pm |
* Friday evening - 7.30pm |
The evening games are at BBO 'peak time', which many other clubs are currently not offering. For complete details, including cost, and results of past games, see Ned's other website
To play, make sure that you are registered on BBO (free of charge) - then mail me (ned_paul@outlook.com) with your BBO user name, your real name, your EBU number if you have one, and your contact email.
To find the tournaments, log on, click 'Competitive', then, 'Tournaments', then 'All Tournaments'. Scroll down the time-ordered list until you find the 'Ned Paul Online Tourney', Click 'Register' to play.
