SE Carolina Collective on BBO: we have joined this collective of almost 200 bridge clubs in the US and Canada. The schedule is below. 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 club. Please 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.
