BIL Tournaments

BIL runs regularly scheduled events mostly catering for players, as the name suggests, at the beginner/intermediate level. You can read more about the tournaments here.

A quick and convenient way to check when the different kinds of tournaments (along with all other events in BIL's boisterous life) are scheduled is the Calendar. There is even an option to adjust the schedule so that it displays your local time (great for time-zone-challenged people like me!). The Tournaments for Fun are colour-coded blue, and the Pay For Tournaments are colour-coded cream. There are both indy and pairs events, scattered throughout different time-zones.

General information about the BIL Club, in case you are not a member yet, can be found on the club website.

Ind Tourney BBO Beginner

Organised daily (when the internet gods permit that!) by Gamer1800. In his own words:

I play for fun, I am not interested in "masterpoints/championships/STARS/blha blah...." and I think that is how any card game (except gambling with real money) should be played.

Unfortunately, I am in minority. As Alan Truscott has said "Bridge is essentially a social game, but unfortunately it attracts a substantial number of antisocial people".

Beginner BBO is my humble effort to make bridge a social and enjoyable event, and encourage our Beginner friends.

What? Where? Who?

.... by way of introduction...
The main blog (BBO Fun Club) is losing focus fast, and I thought it might be a good idea to collect the information specifically about playing events (tournaments, team matches etc) in a separate entity. That should also let TD's like Gamer1800 concentrate on organising and running the tournaments while this blog functions as a PR pad and news ticker (sort of). Any suggestions are welcome! :)
