Click on the big red button PLAY BRIDGE NOW
At the log in screen either log in, or register if you haven’t yet. Make up an ID (moniker) and a password (write these down just in case!) ENTER YOUR ACBL# and NAME.
You will need to put some money in your BBO account. Click on the top right BB $ sign and use credit card or paypal to put some money in your account. This will be in US funds, each game will cost $3 US. Most of this money will come back to our club, via ACBL. To start with all games will be open games of 18-20 boards, three boards a round.
GAME TIMES
Tuesday 1.10pm
Wednesday 7:10pm
Thursday 1.10pm
To find our club game click on Virtual Clubs from the main page. Each club has its own number, ours is Blue Mountain BC VACB159665. There is a search button in the upper right. Just enter vacb15. Games will be posted up to two hours before the start time. You may register for the game by selecting it in the table, put your partner’s name in the blue box and click on ‘invite’ to invite them to play with you. You and partner must both be online when you register, so that your partner sees and accepts the invitation. So, to be helpful to the director please log in and register at least 15 mins before game time, longer if possible. You can register in the game (no sooner than 2 hrs. before game time) then go off line to make coffee or whatever and your registration will still be there when you come back to play. ONCE REGISTERED YOU DON’T NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE YOU INTO THE GAME ONCE IT STARTS AND MOVE YOU TO A NEW TABLE EVERY THREE BOARDS. There will also be a space somewhere to put in your ACBL number. (If you are not an ACBL member you will need to let Christine know your name and BBO ID.) You may invite anyone from our area clubs to play. (except Barrie) There will also be a ‘partnership desk’. This you may click on if you don’t have a partner and either add your name to the list or choose someone already there and invite them to play with you. (Anyone left on the partnership desk when the game starts might be asked to stay around as a ‘spare’ in the event of a player losing their connection.) IF you prefer, you may call Ruth Eidt for a partner, however the BBO method will guarantee a partner.

If you need help feel free to contact: Christine at 705-446-9592

Here is a link to a tutorial that Sagamore bridge club made (narrated by Silvana) for their players just joining BBO for the first time, you might like to watch this. It is especially useful for learning how to ‘follow’ and ‘friend’ people and how to put money into your account. Silvana also talks about convention cards. For our games, at least to start with, I would suggest don’t bother with convention cards, which she mentions in this tutorial, keep it simple.

Please take the time to watch these excellent videos.

Your results are instantly submitted to ACBL Live and will be in your In Box before you know it.

Hope to see you at a game soon.
