Welcome!

If you'd like to play or learn duplicate bridge in Santa Cruz County, you've found the place!

We are the Santa Cruz Bridge Center (SCBC), unit #550 of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). Our mission is to promote the game of bridge and provide a pleasant facility for those in the Santa Cruz area who want to play duplicate bridge in a friendly atmosphere.

Daily and evening games are open to players of all levels with some games reserved for novice and/or intermediate players. You can view our regular schedule by clicking on "Schedule" on the left menu; our detailed calendar is viewed by clicking on "Calendar". (You can print out the calendar by following these instructions.)

Game results are immediately available via the [Results] tab in the left navigation bar. These can also be reached by clicking on the ♣ icon in the calendar.

Most other information about the SCBC and its members can be found on this website, including past Newsletters [Club Info], the game Directors [Schedule], the SCBC Board of Directors and emails [Club Info], a map to our location [Location] in Capitola and even a current list of Life Masters [Accolades]. QuickLinks below will take you to other key sites, like our District 21's website, where you can find Sectional and Regional results.

Bridge lessons are offered for beginning social players as well as experienced duplicate players wanting to reach that "next level". Some games offer a free lesson before the game.

We look forward to seeing you at the tables!
