Welcome to the Indianapolis Bridge Center’s (IBC) Web Site.
The IBC is owned by its nearly 650 members. There is a one-time “ownership” fee of $50. Last year, the IBC hosted 7,040 tables of duplicate bridge. Duplicate bridge is a form of bridge where pairs of players compete against other pairs by playing the same hands.
It is strongly recommended that you start your IBC bridge experience by taking one of the classes. If you have never played before or it has been many years since you last played bridge, you will need to know all the modern bidding systems. While the classes do not have to be taken in order, they are designed with a progression in mind…. Clubs first, then the Diamond Class and finally the Heart Class. Click on the Classes button on the left of the home page to view the beginning classes’ calendar and other class offerings. If you are not sure where to start, talk with Sharon Austin, our club manager, and she will help you assess your level of current knowledge.
One of the great advantages of classes is meeting other new members who might become playing partners. A good partnership is an important key to happy and successful bridge playing.
Two other noteworthy areas to explore on the Home Page are the first two tabs--- Calendars and Game Results. The Calendar will give you an idea of the weekly games. Open Games are for people of all skill levels. NLM (stands for non-life master) games are for newer players.
The Game Results will show the hands played and the results of recent games. You can get a sense of the various games by looking at some of the results. Our electronic scorning and internet-posting of the results are wonderful benefits of playing bridge at the IBC.
Welcome to IBC and do not hesitate to call the club and talk to Sharon or one of our directors for more information….. call 845-5887.
