GRBC is introducing a “Newcomer Game” on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM, starting on April 14. This relaxed and friendly game is for people who are new to bridge, with fewer than 20 masterpoints. There will be 18 hands, with eight minutes allotted per hand, which is one or two more than typical game play.

Before you play you will need an ACBL membership, a BBO (BridgeBase Online) login, and BBO dollars. We have created a 28-minute video that walks you through the steps to play at BBO, and the mechanics of actual game play. The video was shown at a recent Monday morning bridge lab, and can now be watched at any time on YouTube at https://youtu.be/RI2ESTQrk3Y.
