Back again! Join us for the seventh edition of the Mixed Up Pairs on Tuesday November 11 . This very special event has been extremely popular with our members. We want you to get to know each other. The less experienced and more seasoned players are invited to play together as partners (partnerships are pre-arranged). This is designed to be strictly a social event and is open to both the morning and afternoon players. There are two rules - no bridge lessons and no politics.

The price is right $5

Open Game Partnership Requests

Please do not call the club for help finding a partner. If you need a partner for the Open Game, please submit a request using the Contact Us form on our website: bcncsandiego.org. Help is available to assist you given more than 24 hours notice. Director's simply don't have the time to fulfill last minute requests for partners. 

The ACBL has 4 convention charts : the Basic Chart, Basic+ Chart, Open Chart, and Open+ Chart. BCNC uses the Open Chart for all games. You can view the charts using this link ACBL Convention Charts.

Conventions on the Open + Chart are not allowed in BCNC club games.

If you are not sure you can use a convention ask a director.

The ACBL requires that partnerships have completed filling in their convention cards and that both cards are identical. 

Players may use the old or new convention card.

50 Years of Unit & Club History

Revision 3 January 2024

History

Sometimes things go wrong even in a zero tolerance club. It is best to call the director immediately. Most problems can be resolved at the table. Failing that, do you know the procedure for reporting it?

If it involves another player, see the director.

You can request the director to log it in the Club Incident Log. In some cases you may be requested to complete a Player Memo for disciplinary chair review.

It it involves the director, please report it to the Club Manager (Bill Sperry).

Unit 549

Club (BCNC) VS Unit (549) - What's the difference?

Many players think they are the same thing.



Bridge clubs are not part of the ACBL. Bridge Clubs are independent business. Neither the ACBL or an ACBL Unit have any jurisdiction over a club.

A Unit is the smallest geographical part of the ACBL. ACBL has jurisdiction over units.

A club is associated with a unit simply because they are in the same geographical area.
