Welcome to the Bridge Center of Rockford website. We are a registered member of the American Contract Bridge League. The Bridge Center of Rockford is known for the quality of its programs and hospitality toward our members. Our member-owners have put a lot of effort into making our club a relaxed, friendly, and spirited place to play bridge. We welcome you to enjoy a great game at one of the country’s leading Bridge Clubs. We have 10 weekly games with various levels of masterpoint limits, including 3 novice games for the new players.

What the Bridge Center offers our members:

· Pro-Am Games

These games have a lot of same spirit and fun. In a Pro-Am (Professional-Amateur) game, players with more than 300 masterpoints (the number needed to become an ACBL Life Master) are paired with players who have less than 300 masterpoints. We have several Pro-Am games during the year.

· Novice Games

We have plenty of games for the novice players. Novice games are on Monday evening, Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon. There are a total of 3 novice games each week. The games provide opportunities for newer players to become confident with their play before meeting tougher competition.

· A Newsletter and a Website

The Bridge Center of Rockford offers both! Our Newsletter is mailed quarterly and our website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We even post game results to our website! Click here to read our current newsletter.

· Social Activities

Our monthly Birthday Bashes are not to be missed! Each month at a special Saturday afternoon game, members born in that month are honored with a free game. These events include a potluck dinner, costume or seasonal themes, and additional guessing games and assorted fun with prizes.

· Educational Program

In addition to a regular schedule of beginner classes we host special seminars and workshops, usually monthly, for advancing players. These present specific aspects of the game for players that want to learn more about the finer points of bridge and improving their game.

We hope this website will provide you with the information you need. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact us.
