SSCBA  set up a virtual “Club” with the help of the EBU and Bridge Base Online (BBO), holding sessions on Wednesday evenings (a traditional County night).

Rulings and scoring queries

If you have any queries about the scores during the play, try to bring it to the attention of the director by making a director call in the usual way. If you can't do that before the game ends, either contact the director, or James Vickers on jvickerstd@gmail.com or 07759 151748, giving as much detail as you can about what the problem is. 

From Online Membership Secretary's Newsletter of 29th November 2021

Robots:  We believe that when we set up the online club on Wednesdays we stipulated that robots would only be used in an emergency:  loss of partner or to complete a full table (BBO can’t cope with half-tables). No one likes to meet a robot at the table so we have asked our current TD to tweak the rules of our game to exclude starting to play with a robot. The county has to pay the BBO fees and the P2P fees for stand-in players and robots. 
“Partnership Desk”:    If you are without a partner for the evening, I understand that this site is a place you could try to find one. Such a partner has to be a member of our club though: so that means other members have to use that system too. Alternatively, if you are prepared to play with another person or a robot, the TD might invite you to be part of that standby pair.
Alerts & Explanations:   These are much improved, but don’t forget to add an explanation if you click on Alert.
System cards:   You can complete any number of convention cards, one for each partner, and your opponent can look at yours by clicking on one of the white lines in the blue box at top left. A shorter version can be completed under Account to the right of the page, and opponents can look at that by clicking your user name.
Names:   How nice and friendly it would be if we had a name for each player rather than a blank. Someone might greet you by name! You can presumably delete it if you are playing elsewhere and you want to remain anonymous.
