The 2019 Senior USBC will be covered on BBO Vugraph starting with the Quarterfinals, in which we will try to cover all of the tables in play. The Quartrfinal starts Sunday, June 2nd.

To watch the Vugraph online, go to the BBO website where you can either log on directly from your browser, go to "Vugraph" and choose which table to watch, or use the download version of the BBO software to run BBO on your computer (only available if you already have it, not to new users). If you choose the latter approach, from the Lobby, click on the button labeled VUGRAPH and you'll be able to choose which of the matches you want to watch.

To watch on your smartphone or tablet, install the BBO app and watch using that.

There will often be a "yellow" user on BBO called USBF. If you have general questions, please ask USBF, not one of the hard-working Vugraph operators, who may not have time to respond to private messages. Thank you. 

Each day's schedule is the same (these are Chicago times; to see the times for your time-zone, go to the BBO Vugraph schedule site)

10:00-12:10
12:25-2:35
4:00-6:10
6:25-8:35

All of the teams will play the same boards throughout the event.


Hints for BBO viewers

Useful information is available to browser BBO users [and perhaps some mobile bbo users]

 if you click on the name of the table/event you will get a pop-up that:

* displays the BBO Schedule for the specific vugraph event – calculated for the time zone of the viewer’s electronic device

* has a link to the home page for the event

if you click on a player name you will usually get a pop-up that 

* displays a picture of the player

* shows links to System Summary Forms (SSFs), Convention Cards (CCs), and biographical information

VIDEO:  Live video streaming is not available for this event.


Video from the event tables will be uploaded to YouTube as soon as we can manage.

 

After a session, you can review the Vugraph action on our Web Vugraphs, which show each hand played with a link to bidding and play records. Take a look at the older events currently available (under Archived Results) to see what we'll have for the 2019 Open USBC. Web Vugraphs are posted about half an hour after completion of the Vugraph show.

You can find the hand records for USBC matches on this site, linked to the scorecards you can get to by clicking on 2019 Senior USBC under "Event Results" in the upper left of each page.
