Dates for 2019, 2020 & 2021 USBCs set

The Open, Women's, Senior & Mixed USBCs in 2019, 2020 & 2021 will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Schaumburg. The hotel has confirmed availability for the dates we asked for, so these are now set, subject to possible change if the WBF schedules the World Championships for dates other than September in any of the years. See Future USBF Events page for specific dates.

Eddie Wold will Play with US Juniors Monday, June 12

The United States Bridge Federation junior program, directed by Michael Rosenberg, provides players under the age of 26 with USBF mentors to improve the quality of our junior teams in international competition. As part of the program, practice sessions are held on Bridge Base Online (BBO), where the juniors play team matches and the mentors analyze and comment on their play. The matches are 15 boards, IMP scored, and take about 90 minutes.

The program has recently instituted “Monday Celebrity Guest Night”, where, on the first Monday of each month, a world-class player sits in, partners a junior, and plays in a team match.

On Monday, June 12th, beginning at 7pm Eastern, the celebrity guest will be Eddie Wold.

Larry Cohen and George Jacobs will provide commentary.

Kibitzers are invited to watch by logging on to BBO, going to the “Vugraph room,” and joining the tables designated “USBFJR.”  

In January Geoff Hampson participated, in February, Brad Moss, in March Bob Hamman, in April Jeff Meckstroth, and in May Mike Passell.

In future months it is expected that the juniors will be joined by Bobby Levin and John Kranyak, among others.

The USBF is most appreciative of the voluntary contributions these top players are making.
