Important information about our online play tournaments

As many of you know the ABF has entered an arrangement with BBO which allows Australian Clubs to run paid and Masterpointed sessions on the platform. There are many clubs (including Bill at Northern) who are running these sessions.

Since we began running sessions online we have been pushing for Masterpoints to be allocated for online games and we are very happy that the ABF has provided for this. Bridge Vid is not an affiliated club (and has no intention of affiliating) however, we strongly believe that players should be taking part in Masterpointed games where there is an option.

Our online games through BBO will be gradually phased out by the end of May. Although we are wrapping up our online play sessions with BBO have a new and exciting online play initiative that we can’t wait to share with you. There will be more details on this in the coming week or two.

Here is our schedule for sessions until the end of May. Sessions with a strikethrough will not be held. Our final game to be on Saturday May 30th at 1.30pm.
