The mission of Clear Lake Bridge Club is to provide playing opportunities for members and guests as well as promote educational opportunities that encourage new players to enjoy the game of bridge. We offer weekday and weekend games for experts and beginners...come join the fun!
Membership dues are: $25.00/year. CLBC has about 300 Members who are all eager to welcome you to the world of duplicate bridge.
CLBC uses Common Game deals ONLY in the Choose Houston Virtual Club games. Common Game provides great game review options but to verify upgraded masterpoint awards, please check Live for Clubs.
These results show the final standing of the game with pre-dealt hands and offer good post-game review tools:
Printable Hand Record
Pair Scorecards
Review of Boards which shows the bidding and play at all tables.
CLBC has subscribed to The Common Game for the benefit of our Membership. It has features to help players review their game. In general, all items on the Results page that are in BLUE PRINT are active fields. Click on these to take you to:

PAIR NUMBER for a Pair Score Card
FOUR NAMES OF PLAYERS on a deal will take you to the Bidding and Playing of a Board.
This is such a strong feature! Go back, review the bidding and review the play. How does that compare to Pairs who got a better score?
Keep in mind that defenders also affect the outcome. A strong defense may hurt your score on any particular deal.
We encourage all Members to use these great tools. But especially for our newer players, a post-game review is one of the constructive efforts to improve your game.
A helpful hint:
All games in the same time slot use the exact deals. Our 199ers and 499ers can access the game results from the Open Game and select one of our many excellent players to review how THEY BID and PLAYED a hand.
BBO restricts Score Corrections to a post-game window of 20 minutes.
For a concern/question/correction the person to contact is the VACB Director. A link to that person is always listed in the Details section of pending games. Our Directors provide a link as the game nears its end. Make note of how to reach them so as soon as the game is over you can contact them.
CLBC-GBC is identified as VACB226415
ALSO:
Be aware that the BBO score that posts immediately following a game may not be final. As mentioned, players are able to seek corrections for 20 minutes after the game. Changes will affect other scores.
The BBO point awards are not the final ACBL Masterpoints. The ONLY place to see the final Masterpoint Awards for a Virtual Club game is at Live for Clubs. The reason for the variance is that it is ACBL who does the programming that calculates upgraded awards for Special Events (DOUBLE, SILVER, GOLD)
