sittyshirl Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 How do we play on BBO to have Rubber Bridge scoring instead of Duplicate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Total Points tables are the closest thing to rubber bridge. but there is no carryover so isn't really close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiros Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If you want rubber bridge scoring go to pogo. In fact it's the only form of scoring they have http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The old, download version of BBO offers rubber bridge. The web and mobile versions don't -- you have a choice between total points or duplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 There is still a community of Rubber Bridge players in the Relaxed room. But you can no longer download the Windows client, or create new accounts with it. So the rest of the players can't see or join Rubber Bridge games. So Rubber Bridge on BBO will dwindle and die out. Which is a shame because Vanderbilt's game is a good card game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click here" and clicked, then downloaded the BBO Client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if you can download it, if your account was created after September 2012, you can't login with the old version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I think it is a shame that the modern interface does not support rubber. It may defy logic that I should feel that way, as I cannot imagine myself personally ever making use of the facility. And realistically I doubt that it would have any positive effect on BBO's business model. And yet despite acknowledging that, the service seems somehow incomplete without it.
