Some questions I've been asked more than once, so thought it would be good to post the answers here. If you have additional questions, please
1. Where can I learn more about playiing on LoveBridge?
- There is information on the LoveBridge website, including a tutorial on YouTube.
- Last year I did a lengthy email about LoveBridge procedures. It's reprinted in this year's Pre-Bulletin on pages 24-29.
2. What exactly are the rules if I play in more than one event?
- You must state your priority for which event you will play in at the World Championship if you qualify in more than one.
- If you qualify in your first priority event, you are not eligible to compete in additional events.
- If. you are entered in 3 events and qualify in your second priority event, you are eligible for your first priority event, but not for your third priority event.
- If you qualify in more than one event, you may only play in the highest priority event in the World Championship. For example, if you fall into my demographic (old woman), have entered all 4 events, stated that your priorities for the the World Championships are: 1. Open, Seniors, 2. Senior, 3. Mixed, 4. Women's, and win the Open USA1 or USA2 bracket, you are not eligible to play in any subsequent event. Your team can replace you with no restrictions. If you don't qualify in the Open USBC, but do qualify in the Mixed, you may play in the Seniors, but not the Women's. Should you qualify in both the Mixed and the Seniors, you may only play in the Mixed at the World Championship.
3. How do I get information about the teams entered, the daily schedule, kibitzing, Conditions of Contest & Conditions of Play (shortened versions of the Conditions of Contest), and Results. All of these are one click away on the 2025 USBCs main page.
