Virtual Clubs are the online versions of real-world, face-to-face bridge clubs. Many clubs around the world that normally run in-person games also use BBO to host online sessions for their members.
These games are run by the club’s own directors and often follow the same formats and schedules as their in-person sessions. In many cases, they also award the same local masterpoints (e.g., ACBL black points, EBU, FFB, etc.) — just like the face-to-face games.
