SOMETHING NEW ON THE HORIZON

The SE Carolina Collective of which we are a member (to get a % of the fees our members pay to play in tournaments) is asking members to start playing on Realbridge.online. Games are $6. Reason is because BBO lowered the % fee sharing so we hardly get any money back to our club. The ACBL endorses Realbridge.online and you can create an account on Realbridge.online using your ACBL account. TY!
