Registration for the MasterBridge Online Intermediate Pairs games on BBO opens two (2) hours before game-time.
These games are open to anyone with less than 300 Masterpoints.
To sign up for the game, both you and your partner need to be logged into BBO via: https://www.bridgebase.com or the BBO app on your tablet or phone.
When you log into BBO, you will land in the Lobby. To find the Intermediate tournament, click on Competitive:
And then click on All Tournaments:
Now… this will show a long list of upcoming tournaments. To quickly and easily find the Intermediate tournament, type Intermediate in the search box.
This will shrink the list of tournaments down to just one… the game you are looking for.
Click on the Tournament called MasterBridge Online Intermediate Pairs to invite your partner to play.
This will take you to the Register tab ( on the left in the image below) – make sure your partner is also logged in to BBO in order to invite them to play.
If you are having trouble signing up for the game, please message our host TourneyTD or BridgeDir who will try to help you out.
BBO dollars
You will need to have enough BBO dollars in your account to play – these can be purchased here: https://www.bridgebase.com/purchase/pay.php
It is better to buy BBO dollars on a regular computer (laptop or desktop) because Apple/Google apply a surcharge when you buy BBO dollars on a phone or tablet.
Either you or your partner can invite the other player.
Type your partner’s name on the Partner line and then click on the Invite button when it turns blue.
This sends an invitation to your partner (who must also be logged into BBO).
When they accept the invitation you will both get a message on your screen confirming your entry. You can confirm you entry has been successful by clicking on Entries.
If you want, you can also pay for both your partner and yourself by clicking on the box next to that option, as in the image above.
That’s it! You do not need to stay logged into BBO until the start time but please log in no later than 5-10 minutes before the game starts and return to the Competitive area. If you are not logged in at the start time the game will automatically start without you.
When the game starts you will be automatically taken to your seat.
