EDBC Face-to-Face Schedule
(O=Open, L= 0-300, N=0-20)
Monday & Thursday - O & L, 12:30 p.m.
Wednesday - N, 9:30 a.m. and occasional special games at 12:30
Saturday - O & N, 12:30 p.m.
The Wednesday 12:30 game is on hiatus. Occasional team or other special games, for example, an ACBL-wide Charity game on September 11, will be announced as scheduled.
Game fees:
F2F games are $8 each, BBO games are $6 each. Novice games are $5 each. All Open and Limited F2F games are "special" which means points paid are higher than the standard club rates. Some even more special games, such as STaC, will pay silver, red or gold points. There will also be occasional special games on BBO, most of which pay double black points.
ACBL lifted restrictions on who can play in VACB games, so we hope we will attract more of our own members as well as those from other clubs. If you have an ACBL-member friend not associated with EDBC it will be much simpler to get them into our games. Contact Linda Cleek if you have questions.
BBO Open Stratified Games:
Tuesday & Friday 12:40 PM CT
Sunday 2:00 PM CT
BBO 0-300 Stratified Games:
Tuesday 12:15 PM CT
Sunday 1:45 PM CT
Note: Birthdays will be celebrated on the second Thursday of each month with the club providing cake. The fourth Saturday will be a carry-in lunch with the Club providing drinks. Attendees should register in advance (list at the Club) and bring a covered dish. There will be BOTH Open and 0-300 games only on special occasions.
