>From Dave White: I am looking for 32 people willing to waste a Saturday with me. On Saturday June 6th, I will be testing a method of running Swiss Teams in BBO. I need eight teams of four, to play in this test. For this test: 1. Teams are limited to four players. (Teams of five or six will be allowed in real events. 2. Players will sit the same direction in all three rounds. (In the real events, you will be able to make blind changes. But you won't get to pick your opponents.) 3. Rounds will start at a specific time: Round one at 10am. Round two at 11:30, and Round three at 1pm. All eight players in a match must be online at start time and not playing in any other BBO event. 4. Each rounds will be 8 boards scored on the 20 point VP scale, with the clock set for six minutes a board. If this works we will increase the boards to what most players can do in one hour. (Then a thirty minute break while the director sets up the next match.) 5. Masterpoints will be club rated and come from ACBL, not BBO. 6. There will be no charge, because the whole thing could crash horribly; I'd look like an idiot and you'd have wasted a Saturday morning. (Besides, I currently have no way to collect money from you.) To sign up for my little test, fill in the blanks and forward this email to Dave White whitetrash50(a)verizon.net BBO_ID Player #1_ _ ACBL#_ BBO_ID_ _ Player #2_ _ ACBL#_ BBO_ID_ _ Player #3_ _ ACBL#_ BBO_ID_ _ Player #4_ _ ACBL#_ BBO_ID_ _ Captain_ __ If more than eights team apply, I will take the eight teams with the fewest Masterpoints. As it is important we discover how easy it is for players to learn this method of team games. So I want to use the least experienced players I can get. I will reply with more detailed instructions. Thanks, Dave White --

Guest Policy

by Paula Olivares

[image: image.png] Unit 556+ Virtual Club objective is to allow our players an opportunity to play with friends from their local club. The social aspects of bridge cannot be understated. Everyone could have played in Speedball games or Support Your Club (SYC) games, but a large majority of our players want to play with the people whom they know. As a private club, we are not required to allow anyone into our Virtual Club Game who is not a member. You each may occasionally (once a month) invite a friend to play with you. All such requests must be made to the club manager. There is a strict limit of the number of guests allowed in each game that must be adhered to or we jeopardize our ability to run online games.
