Pay tournaments

Finding a tournament that awards BridgeBase Masterpoints follows the same steps as looking for free tournaments. First, under the heading Play or Watch Bridge you will click List all Tournaments; you will see a menu selection for Tournaments starting soon. Click the BBO Masterpoint Tournaments line.

Now you will be shown all the various BridgeBase Masterpoint tournaments scheduled within the coming one or two hours. All of these tournaments have an entry fee and all of them award BridgeBase Masterpoints. Most entry fees for BridgeBase tournaments are $1 BB$.

As always you will find valuable information about each of these games in the tournament description. The Host of the tournament is shown in the first column, the title in the next, the type of game, Individual or pairs, the entry fee, what kind of Masterpoints will be awarded and the time remaining until the game starts.

Some of these tournaments award cash prizes in the form of BB$ in addition to the Masterpoints you may win. However, it's important that you click the More button to read the specific rules for any cash awards. Often the BridgeBase prizes depend on the size of the tournament and may also depend on membership.

These entry fee tournaments are autonomous organizations using the BridgeBase software to hold their games. This means that questions or problems that may occur in one of these tournaments need to be addressed to the organizer. You can find the contact person for each of the organizations by clicking the Club Contacts link under the Bits and Pieces section.
