SOMETHING NEW ON THE HORIZON

6PM THURSDAY GAME APPROVED BY BOARD - more info to come! 


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!

You can search for the Collective games on BBO by going to "Virtual Clubs", then "ACBL North America"  then "se" in search area. Our Club receives a % of the tournament fee you pay (members' ACBL# are linked to SBBC). Early registration promotes more pairs to play in that game which results in more money for our clubPlease play the SE Carolina tournaments when you cannot play face to face.

Perfect Ten

Perfect Ten: Cappy Gagnon created this format and assigns teams. Each player is given an internal point ranking (1-4) based upon ability and ACBL points; then teams of four are created so that the total for each team is 10 points. This insures that none of the teams has an advantage by stacking with all "4" level players. This game is played in the Swiss Team format.
