I learned bridge in the early sixties and played in ACBL events within a few years. I have taken very long breaks in play and whenever I come back, I see the same people. I was always younger than the average age. In 2011, the average age was 69.55. I was 66. That was the most recent I could find. Even with mortality, I believe I am still younger than average.

I believe the average age of a BBO member is much lower than that. I played in the 4 day ACBL event and finished in the top third and close to the best of my ability.
Playing in a local regional, I expect I would have placed much higher.

You can probably get some snapshot of the age of BBO forum members by scrolling down to the bottom of the forums and seeing the ages of players/commentators who are celebrating their birthdays. If you added all the ages together over a period of a month, let's say, then divided by the number of players it would give provide at least some approximate figure to work on.

However, that is only for BBO Forum members who have registered. I believe the reality is that on the whole of BBO the age would be significantly higher, given that many bridge players are of a certain generation.
