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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Dear Unit 556 players and friends,
Below is the tentative list of players for tomorrow's game. Please let me
know if you want to add or delete your names. If you want a partner you cay
contact me or use the partnership feature on BBO within two hours of game
time.
Noon + or - 5 minutes is a hectic time on BBO and you may have trouble
logging on. Either login with your partner early and register (safest) or
be patient and keep trying. Between 12:05-12:10 you will be able to log in
and register. See you all tomorrow.
