If you are at least 75 years old and a member of PAMF (Sutter Health), you are now eligible to schedule a Covid vaccine shot. Use their website or the phone number below. If you have any information about other health plans who are scheduling shots, please let us know so that it can be passed on to other members. PAMF Call 1-844-987-6115. If you get a busy signal, keep trying. On Saturday (1/16) at 8AM it took six tries to get through and then a 40 minute wait on hold. The Unit is tracking the number of members who have had their shot. This information is strictly confidential; no names will be released; it is needed for the Unit's plan for reopening the SCBC. When you have completed your first shot, please send an email to info@santacruzbridge.org. The following changes are effective January 1st:
Tuesday Eve Games: Expanded to 299er The Saturday review will be conducted just like the Wednesday review. It will only occur if there is a 199er game on Saturday. All games are currently conducted online as an ACBL Virtual Club (vClub) on BBO. Here's a document with details about our vClubs and how to register on BBO. The temporary closure of the SCBC facility continues. The Unit Board of Directors' policy is to keep the SCBC facility closed until face-to-face (F2F) bridge is again safe. This period may extend far past the date local health directives allow most activities to resume due to the nature of F2F bridge and because most members are in a high-risk category. 2020-12-12 Update Although a vaccine is now approved under an emergency authorization, the Unit 550 Board will not open the facility until the vaccine is widely available and a large portion of players interested in F2F bridge have received the vaccine. |
SCBC temporarily closed. For updated information, click article in News.

Unit 550 Mission: The Santa Cruz Bridge Center (SCBC), Unit 550 of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), promotes the game of bridge, supports bridge clubs running games on www.bridgebase.com (BBO), and provides a pleasant, fun environment for learning and playing bridge. On BBO, our games are termed "vClub" because they can be found within the Virtual Club section. We would be pleased to assist you getting on BBO to enjoy our games.
Game Calendar & Schedules: The SCBC vClubs run daily games throughout the day. Some are open to players of all levels, termed "Open Games", while others are reserved for newcomers, novice and/or intermediate players. Contact us at info@santacruzbridge.org with questions or partner requests. Clicking Calendar displays game time, level, table fee for games and classes.
Game Results: Click Results in the left side menu bar or on the results logos in the table to the right or on the suit symbols ♣ / ♦ in the Game Calendar.
Masterpoints & Game Winners: Significant bridge accomplishments by our members are found under Accolades; including a listing of all SCBC Life Masters.
