Here is a step-by-step guide to registering successfully for games.
- Check you have sufficient funds in your BBO account. Go to https://www.bridgebase.com log in and go to the home page. You account status will show bottom right of screen in yellow.
- Agree with your partner a time between 5pm and 6.45pm and both login to BBO at that time (Please note that the TD cannot promise to get you into the game if you try to register in the last 15 minutes before the game start time).
- At the agreed time, go to https://www.bridgebase.com and log in.
- Select “Competitive”, then select “All Tournaments”
- Type DEVIZES in the search box and select “Devizes Event Title Bridge game ” (the “Search Box” sits at the top right of your screen above the list of Tournaments)
- Click on the Title name text of the event and this brings up the Register tab
- Just one player invites the other. Do this by typing partner’s BBO username into the space then click “Invite”
- Now partner will receive the invite and will click “YES” to accept.
- YOUR REGISTRATION IS COMPLETE
Once registered you can both go offline, or move to the CASUAL area of BBO.
REMEMBER - You must be logged back in, online and in the Competitive area of BBO before the game start time AND no later that 6.55pm. When in the Competitive area you will see the number of pairs already logged in and a clock showing a count down to the start time, however, the TD may well start earlier if all registered players are back online by 6.55pm.
Generally, we will be playing nine x 2 board or six x 3 board rounds and should finish no later than 9pm.
You will be able to see the results on this website soon after the end of the game. You can also see them by clicking on the HISTORY tab on the right of the screen at any time during the game.
If you have a problem logging in or registering for a game please contact Richard Banbury (the TD): via private CHAT message to vebu201571 or call him on 07753 239830
Pete Webb may also be able to help prior to the start time. He can be contacted on 07769 695068.
Don't worry if your connection is lost during play, your place is reserved. The TD may put in a temporary robot while you try to re-connect. Re-establish your connection and login again and you should be taken directly to your seat. Any problems re-connecting contact Richard Banbury as above. Other players at the table can also contact Richard via the “Chat” function by using his username vebu201571.
Other players at the table may need to tell the TD if you cannot. Players should use the “TD Call Button”, located on the top left of your table – three white lines in a blue box on most devices.
