ACBL Silver Linings this week! Jan 18-24

Silver Linings Week is back! You've been asking for Silver for a while. So here's your chance!

How do I participate?

Simply play in your usual ACBL Virtual Club game during the week of January 18-24, Monday-Sunday. You’ll earn DOUBLE regular club points, which will be SILVER instead of black.

If you’re not familiar with ACBL's Virtual Clubs yet, it’s an online space on BBO just for your regular club. You can play your usual games with your friends and support your local club.

How does silver linings week work?

  • Any ACBL Virtual Club game that starts between 12:01 a.m. on Monday, January 18, and 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, January 24, will automatically be included in the event.
  • All games will pay DOUBLE regular club masterpoints, and the points awarded will be SILVER instead of black.
  • You do not need to do anything special to participate in these games; Virtual Club play is automatically included.
  • This is not a STaC (Sectional Tournament at the Club). There will be no overalls or combining of scores. It’s your regular club game with new, temporary conditions.

How do I find the games?

Click on “Virtual Clubs” on the main menu then “ACBL – North America” and look for your club

This opportunity is only available to clubs that have created a Virtual ACBL Club on Bridge Base Online. If your club hasn’t signed up yet, it’s not too late! Club managers can fill out a short form to get started.

For all the details visit the ACBL event page

  1. Hi, do we still need to pre-register with clubs or can we now join any tournament in the Virtual Clubs?

  3. I had the notice that there would be a 799 game at 3 on Thursday. I do not see it listed.

  4. My partner and I signed up for 10:30 game and paid. Now we cannot find it anywhere. What happened.?

  8. why not just have a bbo silver pts/acbl sanctioned tourn. It makes it so much more accessible? My pard is in another country and a diffrerent time zone making it very difficult to impossible to play in the virtual club in my area

  9. You are eligible to enroll as a guest in any Virtual Club Game. It's up to the Director. In BBO, go to COMPETITIVE, then ALL TOURNAMENTS, then in top right search field, type in VACB which will bring up list of all upcoming on line tournaments. Double Click on a tournament to arrive at Registration Desk - you'll note many different "rates" are charged. You need "money" on account with BBO beforehand. I'd like to assume you have BBO players in your neighbourhood that could walk you through this process on the phone. Good Luck - see you at the tables.

    1. have been unable to get to reg desk with various rates and have not received reply when i msg the game director

  10. I am not in a virtual club.. I am 90 years old on lockdown in an adult living community. How else can I get silver points just to satisfy my ego?
