Hi Folks -
I'm writing to let you know that next week's Virtual Club games, held on Monday the 25th through Sunday the 31st, will all be worth three times as many masterpoints, and that the points earned will all be silver. Twin City Bridge Center will be holding its usual schedule and usual games during the week. We will be charging $6 to cover the extra table fees, which matches the price at St. Paul. I hope to see you all there - let me know if you have any questions!
I have an additional point to discuss as well. It is important for everybody who plays in the online games to know how to alert bids and speak to their opponents. Online, you alert your own bids by typing in the box where it says "alert" before you make the bid. (You can also click the "alert" button to indicate that the bid is alertable.)
Note that your opponents can see what you typed as your alerted bid, but your partner can't! If you'd like to know about an opponent's bid, click on the bid itself. If you do that, a text box will appear on their screen, and they should type what it means. If you aren't satisfied by their response, private message them at the bottom of the screen by clicking on the blue button with "->Table" and selecting "Private".
Everyone should be watching the chat at the bottom of the screen as well; if your opponent asks for clarification, you have a responsibility to clarify bids. The meanings should NOT be discussed in the whole table chat until a hand is complete.
Thanks for your continued support of the online games!
Best -
