If there is a half table when registration closes, one pair will be able to register.  If there are even tables, no new pairs will be able to register.

For registration issues, help with convention cards or other questions, you can contact Sheryl Kohlhoff at sbbc.club.manager@gmail.com, or 310-544-5741; or Laura Gastelum at 310-738-5960 phone or text.

We are still asking all players to have a completed convention card when they play in our games.  The profile is not really sufficient, you should have a proper convention card.  Need help?  Send an email to sbbc.club.manager@gmail.com and we will help you with the process.  Once you have filled out the card, all players at the table can see the opponents’ card and their own card by clicking on the blue box with 3 lines in it.  Two of the choices in the box are NS Convention Card and EW Convention Card.  Click on them and the convention card will appear.

Please remember the self-alert system.  Alert or announce your own bids.  Please don’t forget to alert such bids as a forcing no trump, new minor forcing, fourth suit forcing, transfers, inverted minors, Drury and other commonly-used conventions.  Don’t assume that “everyone knows that”.  The bids need to be alerted and a score adjustment can be made for failures to alert, just like in a face-to-face game.  We want you to enjoy the game while at the same time playing by the rules.
