As a Club Manager and Director of a small bridge Club I would appreciate information about how to set up and run either a free tournament or a Virtual Club game for our Club members. BBO Support seems to be overwhelmed at this moment and are currently unable to assist.
Thank you for your help

Contact your NBO to find out their procedure for creating virtual club games.

If you're not in an NBO that's partnering with BBO for this, we're not currently authorizing new tournament hosting privileges.

Hi - what is an "NBO" ? How do I find one?

I too have sent 3 unanswered requests to BBO Support over three weeks trying to get authorization to run a small duplicate tournament for 3 or 4 tables.
I suspect many others are repeating requests to Support with this question, you might spare yourselves the repeat emails if a pre-written response was sent back.

NBO is your National Bridge Organisation. For American players this is often the ACBL, the EBU for English players, FFB for France.

These NBOs, and others, have arrangements with BBO that allows their clubs to run and charge for tournaments. But BBO is only the platform and you will need to speak to the NBO for the details.

I don't work for BBO and any advice is based on my BBO experience over the decades

You mean NBO that are already partnering with BBO before this. BBO support has turned down new NBO requests.
