The Vail Valley Bridge Club has established a "pool" arrangement where players - in addition to playing in Vail Valley Virtual games on Bridge Base Online (BBO) - can play in Virtual BBO Games with Maggie's Club in Summit county, the Steamboat Bridge Club and the Aspen Club). If you have played in the Vail Valley club in the past year, you can also play in Virtual BBO games in their clubs.
InterMountain Challenge Games: A joint venture for Vail, Steamboat, Frisco and Aspen clubs: Hosted in sequence each Saturday at 3pm
BBO will list every game that you are eligible to play. So, check-in to BBO and select Virtual Clubs and then ACBL North America. All games that you can participate in will be displayed. This list will be updated 2 hours prior to the game start time. Registration opens 2 hours prior to the start of the game. Your partner must be online at the same time for you to select a game. Please be fully registered at least 15 minutes before the game starts. Call me at 970-471-3076 if you need help. Depending on the size of the game we will try to play 18 boards allowing 7 minutes per board. The games will last just a little over 2 hours. If we find we have ample time, this will change to 21 boards at 6 minutes per board. (21 x 6 is the same as 18 x 7!)
Vail Valley Bridge Club, operated by Marcia and Tom McCalden, is dedicated to providing high quality friendly ACBL sanctioned games.
