BBO,
I am currently a Director for our local club, Nature Coast Bridge Club in Spring Hill, FL, and am considering being a BBO Director. I don’t know what the requirements are or who to contact, and hope this email reaches the right hands .
Would appreciate a response from BBO.
Sharon, you can email jobs@bridgebase.com. I removed your personal info from the comment.
Sharon – I am a Club Manager in Naples, Florida and also an online Director. Send me an email and I will get your contact info to the right person at ACBL. waynehumphreybridge@yahoo.com All the best – Wayne
Are there any ACBL robot tournaments for the novice player that award Master Points? Thank you
Why aren’t the Swiss Team speedball tournaments set up for a team of four partners? It didn’t seem any different than a pairs competition.
Does the speedball swiss adjust unfinished boards? Or can players delay to achieve an AVE?
There are TDs who review unfinished boards. So no, if someone intentionally delays there will be an adjustment.
Does a player have to be an ACBL member to participate in BBO tournaments?
No. These are not ACBL games. They are games offered by BBO and open to anyone, not just ACBL players. The limited games are restricted by BBO Points, not by ACBL points.
this game (limited pairs) was a total waste of time -only 3 entries – 2 had robot partners ( no-where does it say that robots will be allowed to play) we played the same 2 ops for 18 hands
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME
This is fun. As a novice I thanks you for doing the newcomer boards.
How to enter? Can you find me a partner?
kumarka

How are the Speedball games played and is there a place on the site that explains the different formats?
