How to play in our club BBO sessions 

·         To play in an event, you and your partner must log on and register for the event. This can't be done until (at the earliest) 2 hours before the event starts.

·         You must have sufficient funds (BBO Dollars - BB$) in your BBO account to pay for the game (unless your partner is paying for you).

The route to get to the game is

• BBO Log In
• Virtual Clubs (Under the Featured Areas in the green strip)
• ABF Australia.
• There are 3 headings - Pending, Running and Complete. 
• Under Pending, find our event (Gold Coast Bridge Club) 
• ​Click the competition title.
• Four sections appear: Register, Details, Entries and Partnership Desk.
• Check that your partner is on-line, and then in the Register section, add your partner's BBO username.   You are given the option of paying for your partner. 
• Your partner will get a popup invitation on their screen, which they should accept. You (and your partner) can now log out of BBO if you wish. 
• A few minutes before the start time, make sure you're both logged onto BBO.  If you register quite early, it is best to log out and log back into BBO (anywhere other than the casual area) 10 minutes before the start time, to ensure you have not been logged off BBO due to inactivity.
• When the event starts, you will be removed from whatever else you are doing on BBO (provided you are not in the casual area) and taken to your starting table.
