South Orange County Bridge Center

We hope to be together soon,

but until then, the club

is Online at Bridgebase.com

 

Looks like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Many are starting to get vaccines, and help is on its way. In the meanwhile, we still want to stay connected, through emails and through online bridge.

ACBL has partnered with Bridgebase online BBO to offer games which support our club and the duplicate bridge community. https://www.bridgebase.com. Whether your goal is to learn, to practice casually, to play competitively, or to accumulate masterpoints, there is an online option to keep you participating until we can be together again. Many excellent tutorials are available to familiarize you with BBO. Click here.  If you need help with BBO or with connecting to our virtual club games, contact: Frank Grossman at (949) 366-5499 fbgrossman@cox.net or Janie Matlaf at (949) 233-2140 jmatlaf@gmail.com
