New Seating Policy
First come first seated. You will not necessarily get north/south unless you have a physical problem. Please tell the director your stratification so he/she can balance the field.
GENERAL STRATIFCATION FOR OPEN GAMES*:
*The stratification can change depending on the number of players that play in each category. We need three C pairs to make a C category. See the table below.
| Game | Flight C | Flight B | Flight A | | 0-100 | 0-20 | 21-49 | 50-100 | | 0-1000 | 0-300 | 301-500 | 501-1000 | | OPEN | 0-500 | 501-2000 | 2001+ |
Making ESBC the Best
During the past two years, we have continually updated the ESBC to make it one of the best clubs in the Pacific Northwest. Some of the changes include:
- Facility improvements such as new furniture, updated bathrooms and artwork
- Bridge Lessons and Special Games for new bridge players
- New game schedules that are stratified and open to all
- Pre-dealt Hand hands and hand records using Duplimate dealing machine
- Electronic scoring using BridgeMate scoring system
ESBC has gone Electronic
ESBC is one of the few Bridge Clubs in Washington State to use Electronic scoring (BridgeMate) and Pre-dealt Hands with printed Hand Records. Results were automatically collected and tabulated and final matchpoint scores were available when the last table finished! BridgeMate scoring is used at all nationals and it streamlines the scoring process. It is fun to use and only takes a few minutes learn how to use the machine.
We also feature pre-dealt hands and hand records for all of our regularly scheduled games. Printed copies are available after the game and on our website. Reviewing your results and the hand record is a great way to improve your game. See Hand Records for more details.
