Most of the user information comes from the "Game Computer" at the club.  Make sure your info in the Game Computer is correct by consulting with the Director.  Be sure to check your e-mail address.  It must be exactly correct.  Your name must also be exactly correct.

Newcomers can come without a partner and play with another player who comes without a partner, or a player from the open game will play with you.  (You cannot receive points when you play with a player who has more points than the limit for your section; 299 on Tuesday, 99 on Wednesday.)

The better thing is to have a partner when you arrive at the game.  We have a Partnership desk on the website, here .  You can check to see if anyone is posted, or you can post your own information.  Include dates you want to play, name, total masterpoints, and telephone number.  You do not have to be logged in to use the "Desk".

Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.

Using search, you can locate articles containing the word(s) you choose. But it operates a little different from other search functions, such as Google.

There is a list automatically produced each month from the ACBL's updated masterpoints. Normally, it is available around the 10th of the month.

You must be logged in to see this list. To see it, choose the "Lists" item from the User Menu. The User Menu is located in the green bar Menu, if you are logged in.  (If you are not logged in, the User Menu does not appear.)  When you choose the Lists menu item, there are several lists available. "YTD MPs" is the one you want.
 

My general impression is that one in particular can be useful for use with your regular partners.  The others had little value.

However, I feel that when used "as is" the one I recommend produces cards that are difficult for opponents to read.  This is primarily due to the use of the same fonts for the "body" of the card as for the "content."  But the program is very flexible and I have some suggestions for you that make the card better, in my opinion.

DO NOT PRESS THE POWER-ON KEY (PWR) UNTIL THE DIRECTOR IS READY.

The BridgePad looks like a calculator. It stays at the North seat thoughout the Game. North will enter CONTRACTS and RESULTS, not scores.

"I just put an icon on my (Vista) desktop for The Daily Recap. First, I saved the site as a Favorite. Then, I shrunk IE Explorer size to intermediate size so that I could see both the desktop and the Favorite list and simply dragged the Favorite (The Daily Recap) to the desktop. This is very simple and works on XP also."

The site works best if you set your screen to 1024 x 768 or higher.

This is done by right clicking on your desktop, selecting Properties, then Settings.

There you will find "Screen Resolution". Only very old monitors cannot support 1024 x 768. Move the "arrow" gadget left and right to select your resolution.

We loaded local players, in bulk, from an ACBL-provided "roster" file, and registered all of them. Your ACBL number is your password, and your username is the name known to the game computers.  Some of us are known by different names in different places.  Mary Ann has placed a list at each site, where you can find out exactly which name we used.

You should proceed as follows:

• Try (once) to log in with your real Name, capitalized correctly, and use your ACBL number as your password
• If it works, you're home free
• If it doesn't work, Contact Us or use the "Register" link in the login box

All members of the site can apply for a free e-mail account. The e-mail account can be set up to use your real name, if you wish, of the form This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . (Notice the period, instead of a space, in my name.)
