Thank you
to all who have been supporting our virtual clubs. All tournaments have been
canceled through the end of the year, and in most cities in our area, club
managers still do not know when their clubs will reopen for face-to-face bridge.

Until that happens, we have a thriving community of online clubs that offer numerous opportunities to play, learn and win masterpoints. If you haven't yet played in these games, we hope you'll give them a try.
District 8 has three virtual clubs on Bridgebase.com:
♣ St. Louis Bridge Collective -- 12 weekly sessions (open, 499er and 299er).
♣ Central & Southern Illinois Collective -- 8 weekly sessions (open, 499er, 299er & 199er) plus free online lessons and BBO tutorials.
♣ Northern Illinois Virtual Clubs -- 12 weekly sessions (open and 499er) offered by Rockford, Crystal Lake & St. Charles clubs.
Your local club managers have put in a lot of work to offer these games, which award a 50-percent masterpoint bonus over regular club rating.
Plus, every time you play in a virtual club game, almost 80 percent of your entry fee is returned to your local clubs to help cover expenses until they can reopen.
If you'd like to join the games, follow the links above to see the full schedule in your area.
