Fwd: Master plan for getting most D23 clubs/Units online
Thanks, Mojo for staying on top of this. Do we have any idea how many members of our club play online?

Here's Dave White's plan for the online virtual club. He mislabeled the Downey unit as 562 instead of 564.

I think this is where we're headed. Kicking it around a little more won't hurt. When we pretty much agree, I'll send it to Greg Coles and Rick Beye at ACBL for implementation. ---------------------------------------------------- Some of this plan has been in place for a few weeks and it's success is why it being expanded. The plan pertains to six units within District 23. In general these units have few clubs, have no online presence, and little hope getting such.
Unit 556+ club: Since the vast majority of players in 556 play at all four club, no pooling was necessary. The Glendale club is the only club in Unit 553 has pooled with 556. The Baja Gold Coast club (Unit 207) in Mexico was started by one of our members, they pooled with Unit 556 also. This is a Master/Servant pooling as Unit 556+ runs all the games.
Units 562 and 551 have only one or two small clubs. Unit 559 has two large clubs but neither has created an virtual club, nor are they likely to do so.
So a new virtual only club is being created for these three units, the PasadenPomonaDowneyVBC. Yes say that three times quickly. Morris Jones has started the paperwork and I'll run the first games. This is also a Master/Servant pooling.
None of the clubs in the six mentioned units host a limited game. So to offer a limited game with the hopes of more than one or two tables, a second virtual only club has been created. It is the D23club. This club will run only limited games. It is currently running 0-500 pairs on Sunday, with hopes expanding to teams on Saturday.
Both the new PPDVBC and Unit 556+ will pool with the D23Club. If done right D23Club will have everybody under 500mp in those six units. These three clubs should have a peer to peer pooling.
Once the D23Club is up and running I will delete all the extra people we added to Unit 556+ to run the first few limited games.

-------------------------------------------------------------- When The new clubs get their numbers, I'll ask every club manager to email Rick.Beye@acbl.org <mailto:Rick.Beye@acbl.org> with their club number and permission.
This note is also my explanation to ACBL to get them to bend a few rules. _______________________________________________ Unit559board mailing list Unit559board@bridgemojo.com http://mail.bridgemojo.com/mailman/listinfo/unit559board
I was rying to count and didn’t come up with toomany, but then, we’ve probably added quite a few. Is it possible that John Villalobos is playing online? I thought I saw him listed for Paula’s game. He’s always been so stubborn about learning that. Corona must have forced him.

No, I'm sorry we don't. Whatever it is, it's more than played two months ago. BBO has been scrambling to keep up with the demands on their infrastructure.
