I am a 25 year old male looking for a bridge partner to play with online. I have just over 1 masterpoint from BBO ACBL tournaments and would like to build upon that.

I am curious how many youths are out there?

Heaps. For example, right this minute if you log on to BBO and go to mtvesuvius's table you will meet many juniors - look at their profiles. Also, juniorsbbo (Paula Mittelman) is logged on at the moment.

There are tons of junior players on BBO, I know most of them, but JuniorsBBO (Paula Mittleman) knows practically all of them. Youa re welcome to come watch my table and in about 20 minutes there is a Teaching Table with Brad Moss and Alan Sontag which you can come watch. Send Paula a private message and she will add you to the club, which runs a tournement every Tuesday at 2PM EST (New York Time). Then if you send me a PM I would be happy to give you a list of many of the Juniors who play on BBO :)

(Not a junior).

Instead of trying to rely on a network, maybe there can be some kind of user function to identify juniors? A color? Something in profile where juniors can search for other juniors?

Good Idea... I like it! Maybe a small icon next to their name or something?

"JR" icon? Next to the numbers or stars etc...

The junior club invited its members to put in ** in their profiles.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I like the idea of being able to identify other juniors.

If everyone could do it though they would know to double for penalty more often...on second thought I am not sure I like this as much :D
All IMO. Junior wanting to soak up all the knowledge he can.

Owen needs to put "****" in his profile... For penalty redoubles :)

I will put * in my profile, since I still FEEL junior. I also still FEEL like I'm mid-twenties (no second 29th birthday yet!)

I am on BBO most of the time and it would be awsome if there was a way to identify juniors. Someone should ask the BBO people to look into it :)
