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. ..........

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.
