Potential for BBO to partially replace local ACBL club game

[BudH]

With my local ACBL club closing due to the coronavirus for the next two weeks (at least - and I expect it will be several weeks more than that), I am looking into how one would set up a small 3 to 8 table single section game with members of our club who have computer access and are willing to try playing online bridge with fellow club members, similar to the games we cannot (for now) play at our local bridge club face to face.

 

I've been looking for instructions on how to set up such an "invitational" game but haven't found what I need for information thus far. I also haven't played on BBO myself for many years and do not have experience using the new web interface (I used the old Windows program).

 

Where could one find instructions to set up a game on BBO with members of your local ACBL club while the club is not open?

In general, any questions to support@bridgebase.com , they'll get to the right place.

Many thanks for the above links hrothgar. My uncle reached out to me today to ask if there was a suitable online replacement for his club nights (blah blah coronavirus etc) - so I pointed him at these links.
