As a reminder, all Virtual Private Club games from May 25-31 will award silver points, and triple the amount! We are still unclear on whether the triple points is off of the usual virtual private club’s 50% increase, or just triple a normal club game. We will know starting tomorrow. Also remember, the silver points and bonus ONLY applies to virtual private club games, not the speedballs or ACBL nationwide support your club events.
Special Game Schedule at All For One
Most GNYBA members are part of the All For One virtual club. If you haven’t regularly been playing in any other private club game, you are likely blocked unless BOTH you and your partner have played in the physical club prior to the Covid-19 closures in 2019 or 2020.
The most notable change for All For One – there is an open game in the evening each night. The start times are never on the hour (other than the 2pm 299er), to avoid conflicts with various nationwide ACBL speed balls and other events. Apparently the servers would crash if too many games start at exactly the same time.
Wed Evening IMPs
For those who enjoy IMPs, you can try Wednesday Evening at All For One. For now, there are no ACBL team events available online. In the near future, there is ongoing chatter about allowing districts and units to host online regionals and sectionals. But it will take some time before we ever see widespread online Swiss or Round Robin games. A first pass proposal would be knockouts, which are easier to setup.
