| From Facebook |
Are you a regular on Facebook? My FB feed has recently started to include things from "Bridge Unleashed by Tracey." If pure energy could promote (save) our game this woman has it. Here is a sample:
Topic: How to spot Little Old Ladies (LOL:
The classic LOL is often described as the "Little Old Lady in Tennis Shoes".
The Look: Sensible footwear (for endurance), a cardigan (venues are cold), and a tote bag filled with convention cards from 1974.
The Vibe: They spend the first minute chatting about grandchildren to lower your guard.
The Reality: Once the cards are out, the grandmother persona vanishes, replaced by a cold-blooded card assassin.
Again, credit directly to Tracey's "Bridge Unleashed" on Face Book. Or also found on her Website BridgeUnleashed.com/
More about Tracey
Check out her FB feeds! There are dozens of pointers, terms, and conventions explained. Also interviews with well known players. I feel like a thief using any of her material but she asks it be shared and as widely as possible. "All for the the love of the game."

| Partner? Where art thou? |
Bridgewebs has two separate partnership seeking systems. Both require a member sign in to the site before using the service. "Find a Partner" is a built in Bridgewebs feature.. It allows a posting on a particular day showing a member is seeking a partner for the game.. This may be agmented with an email directed to a selected (by you) list of members advising you are looking for a partner for for a particular game.. The is accessed from the membership page or directly on the monthly calendar.
The second method is used to help find a long term partner,. There is a form on WANTED (Long Term) PARTNER Once you fill it out it is posted much like a post card on a bulletin board.. This might be appropriate for finding a partner interested in a new system, or for a future event held else where,. Omaha Regional?. Nationals next summer?. Basically this us a way to let others know your interests without talking on and on.
Happy hunting.

| Yes, there is an App, BUT |
The iStore and Android Store have a Bridgewebs App, but it is very under powered as compared to the full website.. It presents some of the news pieces in random order. And it provides a list of upcomjng games. Finally, it does allow looking at the results of recent games. The results are the most useful showing rankings, a private scrore card with the results on each board, and a traveler for each board. It does not provide any hand analyisis. Simply put, it is an extract of what is available on the web site. If you try the App the first step is to select the siouxland club.. The icon to do this is on the far right.
