Play at the club
without leaving home

ACBL Virtual Club Games

The ACBL is partnering with
Bridge Base Online (bridgebase.
com) to create a way for to play
online and earn black masterpoints® from home.
ACBL Virtual Club Games
allow your local club to create
a private, online playing space
just for you and your fellow club
members. Only those who have
previously played at the club can
enter that specific club's game.
Game times, entry fees and
number of boards are set by club
managers/owners.
This is a multi-phase process,
with a limited number of clubs
being added each week. Be on
the lookout for future announcements from your local club. You
could soon be gathering for your
regular game, just online.
You can also play online and
earn black masterpoints in the
Support Your Club games.
SYC pair games are held on
BBO three times a day (10 a.m.,
5:10 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Eastern
time). The SYC daylong game
pairs you up with a BBO bot
versus BBO bots, and you can
space out your play of 18 boards
throughout the course of 24
hours.

help you get started at acbl.org/
