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.
