Sparta Duplicate Bridge Club is starting virtual games on BBO. These are sanctioned games. The game fee is $5.00 To play you will need a BBO id and BBO dollars. Our 1st two game will be
Thursday, April 23 @6:30pm and Friday, April 24 @9:00 am.
This gives a few days to get set up on BBO if you are not already playing. As a sanctioned game the ACBL rules apply with some additional BBO rules.
The game will have 18 boards, 3 boards per round and 21 minutes to play the round. No late plays. The round will advance after 21 minutes or when everyone has completed 3 boards. So please watch the clock.
No physe bids.
Self-Alert your bids the require alerts or announcements. Fill out the alter and explanation box before entering your bid. The message is sent to your opponents, but not your partner. A good practice is to put in the explanation for the bid rather than the convention name. For example, if a 2D opening bid is Flannery, showing 4s – 5h and 11-15pts, I would put 4s – 5h and 11-15pts in the alert box.
The game will have a director to call to help with any problems.
Contact Fred with your BBO id to join us.
