Barrie Bridge Club News

You Can Play Your Hands Again!

Two User Manuals have been created to show you how to re-play your game hands!  They are located in the Blue Menu above, one for replaying REAL game hands and one for replaying VIRTUAL game hands.

At the end of every game (REAL or VIRTUAL), whose results have been uploaded to the Barrie Bridge CLUB Web Site, you have a number of REPLAY THE HAND AGAIN options:

  1. You can re-play any of your REAL game hands with full control over what card is played from each north/south/east/west hand.

You can experiment with different leads or playing strategies to see if you can get an extra trick or put your opponents down.

  1. For on-line VIRTUAL games you have three options.  You can replay the hand any way you choose as described in 1 above.

Or you you can replay the hand exactly, card for card, as you played it in your on-line game or any other pairs hands for that matter to learn from them.

Or, you can replay the hand exactly, card for card, as you (or others) played it in your on-line game, and then deviate at any time during the play and take a different line.

  1. You also have the option to download the game file (REAL or VIRTUAL) and import it to a different Bridge Computer Program that allows you to replay the hands.

NEWS

        News from Barrie Bridge Club president - John Dossey          

The club has decided to reinstated the policy to award pairs who achieve a 70% game with a free game.  2024 saw the following players achieve that goal:

Anne and Bob Manning X8
Leigh Ives x2

Jane Foster

Don and Chris Beck x2

Sandra Monk

Janice  Upeniek

Paul and Melissa Crossland
Kim and Bill Koski
In addition, the club awarded Anne Manning a free game for earning the most Master Points 112.65 for playing in our face-to-face games.  Well done!
One final free game was given to Ross Penny for playing in the most games.  Ross played 179 times in 2024. Great!

As of May 7, 2025 the club will be suspending the Wednesday afternoon game and instituting an early evening game starting at 6:00 p.m with a maximum of 24 boards.  Players will still be able to drive home with some daylight left.  We will try this for a 2 month period. After the game Bill Koski (13,000 + master points) will discuss the bidding and playing  of one board.  Thanks Bill.  Come out and join us.
The Annual General Meeting will be held at the club on May 21, 2025 starting at 5:00 p.m.
A slate of who is running will be out at least a month prior to the meeting.
Mark your calendars the Erin Barry Rookie/Master game will be on April 2, 2025 at 1pm. Keep an eye out for the sign-up sheet at the club.
Our Valentine's day lunch and game was a great success.  Thanks to Becky for organizing.
Congratulations to Nancy Pakulak for achieving her Life Master designation.
