Dear Unit 556 bridge players and friends, Below is a tentative list for tomorrow's game. Please send me any additions or deletions. If you need a partner you can sign up (partnership tab on the game page) up to two hours before the game. You have all been playing faster so this week we are changing to 6 minutes per board. Unfortunately, BBO cannot accommodate 6 1/2 minutes/board. Also, for games of 15 or fewer tables, we plan to run nine, 2-board rounds. At 16 tables BBO automatically breaks the game into two sections and we will run six 3-board rounds. A note about stratification: The director has no say in stratification. It's all automatic by BBO. Stratification breaks the field into rough thirds, ⅓ in A, ⅓ in B, ⅓ in C. A pair is stratified by the player with the higher masterpoints, not the average of the pair. If a player is a ‘BBO star’ he and partner are automatically A. A player is automatically an A player if he has no ACBL number. Otherwise, each player’s level is the higher of his ACBL masterpoints or BBO points.

Dear Unit 5556 bridge players and friends, Below is a tentative list for tomorrow's game. Please send me any additions or deletions. If you need a partner you can sign up (partnership tab on the game page) up to two hours before the game. For those who care about which direction they sit at the table, here is some trivia. If you invite your partner to play you will be either South or West. The invitee sits North or East. Also all the results ore on The Common Game and have the capability of replaying the hand (if you care to) among other features. There is also expert analysis on some of the hands. https://cloud.bridgefinesse.com/Clio/ClubWebHost/266882/?&acblno=J777866&cl… -- Aggi & David K Amr & Gerry B Anita & Ruth Bernard & Beverly M Carolyn C & Bill B Bob & Dave Carol A & Kristi Carol R & Paul R Carol T & Gary T Carol U & Hal Craig & Tom B Dave R & Ramesh Dwaine & Gary Geoff & Rosy Georgia & Adam Harry & Alan Jan & Roy Kathy S & Rand Linda & Russ Mira & Ron Paula & Gay Rae & Gerry G Roselyn & Dominique Roshen & Temo Sharry & Beth Teddi & MaryAnne

Dear Unit 5556 bridge players and friends, Below is a tentative list for tomorrow's game. Please send me any additions or deletions. If you need a partner you can sign up (partnership tab on the game page) up to two hours before the game. Attached id the first draft of our member list. Thank you to those who sent me something about themselves. If you haven't sent me a sentence or two about yourself, please do so soon. Also, BBO has changed their server configuration (full explanation can be found under the News tab on BBO). From now on you must be in the Virtual Club lobby prior to the start time of our games in order to be brought into the game. For example, don't go to the main bridge club to play a few practice hands after registering for our game expecting to be pulled into the game at the start. You will not be and will miss the game. The main bridge club and Virtual Bridge clubs were put on separate servers yesterday.

Dear Unit 556 bridge players and friends, Below is a tentative list for tomorrow's game. Please send me any additions or deletions. If you need a partner you can sign up (partnership tab on the game page) up to two hours before the game. Currently the count on survey of # of boards per round is 7 minutes a board - 14 6 minutes a board - 5 don't care - 10 Some comments were: difficult boards take more time, slow internet, wifi problems, some players new to BBO, learn to claim when you can, learn to accept or decline claims so time not wasted, revisit in a couple of weeks, chatting with new and old friends during extra time at end of round helps raise spirits, adding photos would be nice.

Virtual Bridge club info requested

Dear Unit 556 bridge players and friends, I would like your input on two items. First, we are from three distinct areas and in order to boost the comradery, I plan to put together a directory of the players with a descriptive sentence or two about each person. This way we can get to know each other better. Please write a sentence or two about yourself to introduce yourself to others. It will look something like this: paulao (Paula Olivares) retired AT&T engineer, teaches bridge on cruise ships, splits time between Valencia and Baja California, walks daily with her three dogs. If you don't want to write something about yourself, we will do our best to write something to introduce you to the group. On another note, I would like your feedback on whether you prefer games to be 6 minutes a board (like Thursday) or 7 minutes a board (like today). Thank you for your assistance. Warmly, Paula Olivares --

Dear Unit 556 bridge players and friends, Below is a tentative list for tomorrow's game. Please send me any additions or deletions.

One word of caution, when claiming, be careful to claim the correct number of tricks you have coming. If you claim 0 tricks you may be accidentally conceding.

Dear Unit 556 bridge players and friends, Yesterday everyone did fairly well keeping up, but usually, one or two tables did not finish each round. Please claim when you can (you don’t have to claim ALL the tricks; if taking 5 of the remaining 7 tricks, claim 5 tricks). You can also concede when you can’t take any more tricks. On another note, Deanna Kean (Proudley24), tripped over her puppy and broke her hip last Friday. She hopes to be back to the bridge table soon and you can contact her at fourkeans(a)att.net. Y'all be careful out there. Below is a tentative list for tonight's game. Please send me any additions or deletions. If you need a partner you can sign up on the partnership tab on the game page up to two hours before the game. -- Adam & Temo Aggi & David K Carol A & Kristi Craig & Tom B Elaine & Tom S Greg V & Khushroo Kathy S & Rand May & Hani Mira & Ron Pat & Angela Rosy & Geoff Ruth & Roy Sharry & Beth Susan St & Mark
