28 Nov '20

Hi all, Hopefully the Internal Pairs event today was enjoyable. We have not figured out how to get the full results in a readable format yet, so here's a screenshot of the results from RealBridge for now: [cid:5cd2cd84-be8a-467a-8312-2a936143ba3e] Hopefully we will be able to send the full results soon. If you enjoyed this event, do sign up<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=B3WJK4zudUWDC0-CZ8PTB4N…> for the London Cup, which will be happening next Saturday at 11am on RealBridge as well. It will be a great opportunity to meet bridge players from other universities(both new and experienced) and test your skill yet again. Weekly sessions will still be happening at Tuesday 6pm and Wednesday 2pm. Regards, Your committee

RealBridge
by bridgeclub 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi all, Sorry for the spam. RealBridge uses webcam and mic to have a sort of "video conference", simulating playing bridge on a real table. Of course, if you are uncomfortable with this you can choose not to connect a webcam, but connecting the mic will make playing a lot easier. Also, you can ignore the field that says "ID number", just leave that blank. Thanks.

Internal Pairs link
by bridgeclub 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

Hi all, Here's the link to today's Internal Pairs session: https://play.realbridge.online/au.html?p=26425&q=Apesandbaboons Sit opposite your partner. Some things to note are: 1) You have to alert your partners' bids (if they need to be alerted) instead of self-alerts like on BBO 2) If you skip a level in your bid the stop card is automatically played. We ended up with 8 pairs, so we will be playing 7 rounds of 3 boards at 18 mins per round. See you later! Regards, Your committee

Reminder: Internal Pairs TOMORROW
by bridgeclub 27 Nov '20

27 Nov '20

Hi all, We currently have 14 players registered for the Internal Pairs which is taking place TOMORROW(28 Nov) at 1pm. That makes 7 pairs, so (for the moment) we will have 3 tables and 1 sit out every round. If at this point you would still like to sign up, please do so here<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=B3WJK4zudUWDC0-CZ8PTB4N…>. I will send out the link to the RealBridge session by email at 12pm tomorrow, so please do look out for that. Please be seated by 1255pm so that we can start (and finish) on time, and do come earlier if you do not already have a partner so that you have time to find one. The current plan is to play 6 (21 min) rounds of 3 boards, so 7 minutes per board, and finish comfortably before 315pm. Hope to see you all there! Regards, Your committee

We will be using RealBridge<https://realbridge.online/> for the first time, which is the platform that will also be used for the London Cup.

2 sessions next week!
by bridgeclub 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Hi all, In addition to our usual session at Tuesdays 6pm, we will be trying out a session at Wednesdays 2pm as well. This is to give our members who are still in Asia a more reasonable timeslot(10pm UTC+8 as opposed to 2am UTC+8) to participate in our sessions. If the turnout is good, we may make a permanent move to the Wednesday time, and not have a Tuesday session. Please indicate your interest in participating in this form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=B3WJK4zudUWDC0-CZ8PTB4N…> by Tuesday as if we have 5 pairs or more, we can play some duplicate pairs then. Thanks! Your committee
