    BBO should offer two gaming sites, one for beginners and intermediates ("clubs & diamonds") and one for advanced and experts ("hearts & spades"), that would be restricted to the aforementioned player levels. The former would provide a more relaxed user atmosphere for beginners and intermediates to discuss bridge-related issues and take their time playing their hands, whereas, the latter would provide a more accelerated atmosphere for discussion and the play of the hands.

    In London, there is an online bridge club called, The Club, where bridge players are automatically ranked according to Association, Federation, League, etc. rankings. They are divided as follows: Clubs are beginners, Diamonds are intermediates, Hearts are advanced, and Spades are experts. In turn, there are games in which only Clubs and Diamonds can play together and Hearts and Spades can play together. There are also open games, as well as tournaments, in which everyone can play together. This venue permits players to advance themselves comfortably as they gradually improve and work their way "up the ladder" to becoming Spades. It also enables those players who would prefer not to play with beginners and intermediates to have tables reserved for more advanced playing and enjoyment. An arrangement like this can be beneficial to everyone, since it readily accommodates everyone's needs. johnwms
