Bridge Points launching soon!
On Friday 1 November, Bridge Points (BP), the BP Circuit and titles will make their debut on Funbridge.
What is it? How does it work? How to get some? All these questions are addressed in the article below!
What are Bridge Points used for?
Brand-new Bridge Points will soon replace Funbridge Points as the standard way to compare yourself to other bridge players from all over the world in monthly and yearly rankings.
What about Funbridge Points?
Your current Funbridge Points will be automatically converted into Bridge Points (1 Bridge Point = 100 Funbridge Points) when the new point system will become effective.
How to win Bridge Points?
To collect Bridge Points, all you will have to do is participate in special events of the BP Circuit on Funbridge! Each event will earn you a certain amount of Bridge Points based on a coefficient from 1 to 25 according to its category.
You will be able to easily identify them as they will have their own logos:
Bridge Points x1
Bridge Points x2
Bridge Points x5
Bridge Points x10
Bridge Points x25
Daily tournaments, Instant tournaments, Ambassador tournaments… The season will offer numerous tournaments rewarded with Bridge Points. The more Bridge Points a category of tournament offers, the rarer it will be!
And there is more…
Rack up Bridge Points and unlock rewards in your Funbridge profile.
60 levels and 15 titles from Rookie to Grand Master will pave your journey!

What? Why is this good for me? It seems confusing and unhelpful.
i hope they will cost not much diamonds, couse it will kill all fun)
Right; we do already pay member fees: why does Funbridge need to charge extra money on top for diamonds? It does indeed kill the fun, because most tournaments require diamonds to register. Member fees should be sufficient to play unlimited games.
Bonjour,
Le 28 – 03 – 24 j’ai réglé par erreur 2 fois la somme de 8 € 99 à Paypal pour un mois. Pouvez me rembourser de la somme de 8 € 99 versée en trop. J’ai écrit à Paypal sans réponse de leur part !
Merci de votre compréhension !
should allow some free play to start,julian
Exact! Fully agree!
Fix your game play.
Improve the AI.
Nobody cares about your bogus “Bridge Points”.
I agree too.
I agree with Paul Sontag, nobody cares about your Bridge Point !! I am already a Premium member and I don’t want to have to pay more diamonds to play tournaments. In fact I gave up Premium+ recently because I thought it didn’t do me any good !!!!!
I Agree with Paul Sontag as well.
Quality bridge engine instead of quality superficiality please!
Lay off some seemingly abundant marketing personnel (they create ideas in which you need/can’t live without Funbridge, but without themselves as well?) and hire more technical staff for game play, AI and bidding description updates/improvements instead, which seem non existent for a long time now.
Good luck with that!
*Despite all the reports
What on earth are Funbridge points? Are they diamonds? Does this mean you have to buy them? If so, then not really a test of skill! I agree with earlier comments and think the annual fee is sufficient and I refuse to pay for extras.
I agree with the comments above. The annual fee for Funbridge is enough. Stop being greedy, looking for more revenue. Bridge points serve no purpose. Work on the technical side, not the marketing side of this site.
Totally agree with all the comments. More focus on the engine and infrastructure please.
Fully agree with all comments. Shame on you Funbridge, the annual fee is much more in comparison with Stepbridge!
Have you seen the announcement in the June newsletter of the NBB about lowering the costs of a FunBridge subscription, starting in September? And that the NBB would inform us about it in August?
Nothing heard since…… ♂️
When my subscription is due for renewal I would like to charge it to a different bank account.

If this new competition is going to cost diamonds (i.e. more money) then I will not be renewing my membership
From the description, it is not really clear to me what the difference to Funbridge Points is. And why these points should be “the standard way to compare yourself to other bridge players from all over the world”? Is that not what the performance numbers (IMP/%) are meant for?
So Just funbridge points divided by a thousand with a meaningless vanity title?
Diamonds? Bridge points? This 10 year FB subscriber likes the practical features of how the FB playing software works. That point stuff is of no interest.
A parte la considerazione che una classifica e quindi una valutazione complessiva del valore dei partecipanti iscritti a funbridge era già presente , per cui non si capisce la necessità di un nuovo circuito con una classifica che sarà più o meno la copia di quella già presente quello che più mi preme evidenziare è che il motore di gioco della carta in funbridge pecca di un eccesso di normalizzazione . Molto spesso , nella stessa mano senza alcun motivo commette errori madornali favorendo in tal modo un gruppo di giocatori piuttosto che un altro. ( PER ESEMPIO STESSA LICITA con attacchi diversi che determinano il mantenimento di un contratto o meno ) E’ vero che questo è quello che accade nel gioco reale. Tuttavia non è l’ideale per definire il valore dei partecipanti e una classifica veritiera.
There is not one single comment in favour of the new system so why go ahead .
Exactly , it is not a comparison of playing levels but of how much money players want to invest
how does this affect “deals” if i don’t have 100 fundbridge points what ever that is?

I answer
I’ll be leaving Funbridge if I have to pay more than my subscription. Expensive in NZ dollars.
Why is there no reaction from the FB team? I see only negative feedback and I would have expected further clarifications and answers… I see little consideration for the customers
I guess this hasn’t been clarified fully,
People are not happy and they starting to consider a cancellation
Fixing the system, maybe informing us what has changed, and maybe give feedback on comments that led to changes would be helpful.
Right now, there is an issue with reporting deals that I was told to be patient about.
I have had at least 7 jump bids to 5 of a minor, bypassing NT and giving minus scores that I can’t seem to stop. I have had 17-18 points “promised” when there were 14. I have had jump raises from the two level to the four level promising 6 and showing 3. Fixing the wrong points should be easy: just widen the range (5-25; it wouldn’t be very helpful, but it would be honest). I recognize that there are complexities in the system, but if FB charged less and made a comment en Français that the bids occasionally could be “quirky,” I would accept that.
My 106000 funbridgepoints are disapered. Where are they?
Ja, meine ca. 170.000 Punkte sind auch weg, da wurde nichts 100:1 umgerechnet. Jetzt habe ich nur einen Bridgepoint bekommen. Das ist nicht nett!
When playing an ACBL tournament (instant), I don’t see my winning points until after some dumb screen about Bridge Points which I don’t care about. Now I have to find a drop down menu to get the points I purchased for the game I just played. Wicked dumb programming. I’ve been loyal for a long time, but will probably switch to BBO.
I didn’t get points with 60+ % score
Need some explanation 0r I will switch to BBO too
PLEASE Explain
