Anybody up for a Friday afternoon social Bridge game using Zoom & Bridge Base Online (BBO)?
Note: You have to be registered with BBO to play - For those unfamiliar with BBO, it is a premier free site for Bridge players at all levels with expert tournaments; social games with players from all over the world; and solitaire learning games and tutorials on offer. Click here to join.
Here is what I'm thinking:
You will be able specify if you want to play with a specific person or I will try to pair you up.
I will set up the Zoom call with an appropriate # of Breakout rooms (tables).
For each 'round', 4 players will be sent to a room to play (you will then need to minimize your Zoom screen in order to see the table!)
We will play for 20 mins if there is an odd # of pairs (and hence a sit out each round) or maybe longer if there is an even # of pairs. Play as many boards as you can during that time and write down your scores at the end
We will then reconvene in the main room to record scores and then each pair be reassigned to a new 'table' to play against different opponents.
Notes:
- This will be a social game. All experience levels are welcome and you are free to discuss bids and play with your table partners.
- I will need some people to volunteer to be "Table Captains". People who are proficient enough with BBO to manage table setups and scoring.
- And please: Register early (so I can set up the tables/pairing beforehand) and only register if you are sure you will play. Not showing up on the day will spoil all my wonderful preplanning.
