On February 14, let's celebrate this special day with free bridge games and some sweet gifts on BBO.

There'll be three free pairs tournaments at different times of the day, so you can choose the one that suits you best, or play them all if you like. It is a simple way to enjoy a few boards together and mark the special day in (bridge) style.

10am New York Time (16:00 Paris): Pairs, Matchpoints, 10 boards, 2 boards per round
3pm New York Time (21:00 Paris): Pairs, IMPs, 10 boards, 2 boards per round
7pm New York Time (1:00 Paris): Pairs, IMPs, 10 boards, 2 boards per round

If you do not have a partner, just stop by the Partnership Desk. We will help you find someone, or you can choose to play with a BBO robot.
