  • Description:

    This course, developed with the Fledglings during Covid, uses Bridge Base Online (BBO) software for those who find it difficult to attend a conventional U3AC bridge group. Many players set up a Zoom, Skype or WhatsApp call in parallel to add a social dimension. Matches are arranged so that pairs play different opponents each week - the online equivalent of moving tables. Each match is played in Chicago format and takes around 90 minutes. Suitable for anyone who can play standard ACOL, you can join either as a pair or an individual - in the latter case I will endeavour to find you a partner. Matches may be played at any time by arrangement with your opponents. BBO, Chicago and Zoom are straightforward to learn and I provide supporting sheets as standard. The league is low-key, secondary to enjoyment - pairs are simply identified by letters in the league table.

  • Format: Course or activity without teaching

  • Organiser: Barrie Hunt
  • I'm an average social player. During Covid I ran a successful online league and the model seemed ideal for those who cannot easily travel for whatever reason.
