New To Bridge Base On-Line (BBO)?
Then we have a link to a video produced by a top Australian player, Pete Hollands, in which he explains how BBO works.
If you are intending to play in the twice daily tournament hosted by Julie Atkinson and Pat Carter from the Auckland Bridge Club, please note the following:
To get to these tournaments (which run at 1.30pm and 7.30pm daily), once you have logged in as Pete indicates, go to
Competitive
and then press All Tournaments.
You will find the tournament listed
Look for TRICK 13 under HOST on left-hand side. Work out how many minutes before the start time of the tournament and you will find it more easily.
a couple of hours in advance and you should register, inviting your partner as well (yes, you should have a partner). Your partner will receive an invitation once they are registered in BBO which they need to accept.
Please be ready to play a few minutes early. If you are late, you miss out.
Important Differences for these tournaments from comments made in the video
- You are really encouraged to enter your real name as well as your BBO name in the places provided. Not only does this help the directors but it makes the games more social.
- The UNDO tab will not be available. Disputes over this function slow the game down too much. You must finish on or ahead of time. So, be careful before you make bids and plays.

You may also wish to form a team and play in the “Social Distancing Round Robin Teams”. For information, press here.
And remember, as at the bridge table, BBO insists on politeness to “friend and foe” at all times.
