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 the same spirit of fun as our
Mentoring Program. 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 when the
mentoring program is inactive.
·
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.

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
