Entering the game on the day
A couple of days before the Congress, you will receive an email with a link to the congress on the RealBridge website. The link won’t be active until 9:30 AM on the day of the game. The link will also be posted on the MasterBridge Online website here.
RealBridge is a lot like face-to-face bridge in that you can both see and hear your partner and opponents. That means you will need to make sure you have a functioning camera and microphone on your computer or tablet. Here is a page to test your camera and mic – https://play.realbridge.online/camera.html
Round start times
You will be automatically taken to your table at the start of each round. Just like at a real life game, there will be a delay between rounds. Please do not log off from RealBridge during the day. If you are disconnected at any time, just log back in and you will be returned to your table.
The session start times are approximately: 10.00AM …. then Lunch… then about 1.30PM
We will finish by about 4.30 PM
Systems
Yellow systems are not permitted.
Appropriate behaviour
The highest level of ethical behaviour is expected of all players. It is illegal for the members of a pair to communicate during a hand via any means other than chat to the full table. Players who are found to have engaged in illicit or unauthorised communication will be the subject of disciplinary action under the NSWBA Congress Disciplinary Regulations.
Results
You will see results of your boards once each round is complete but please note these are not official. Official results will be available about 30 minutes after the last table finishes on the NSWBA website.
