The big day is approaching! On 1 November, you will be able to discover the new Bridge Points rankings which will replace Funbridge Points on Funbridge. A level associated to a title will also be displayed on your Funbridge profile. A few reminders…
Automatic conversion of your current Funbridge Points: 100 Funbridge Points = 1 Bridge Point
To win BPs, simply take part in the BP Circuit tournaments on Funbridge
60 levels and 15 titles from Rookie to Grand Master to reward your efforts on the BP Circuit
Your questions, our answers!
Following the preview presentation of the Bridge Points, levels and titles, you have shared some questions and requests with us. You can tell us everything, we are ready to hear what you have to say!
“Can you tell us how much it will cost to take part in Bridge Points tournaments?” – Pacoxav
The entry fee in Diamonds will depend on the tournament but will remain consistent with what is done now. Diamonds are Funbridge’s virtual currency. They allow you to take part in federation and event tournaments. They are independent of the subscription (except for Premium+ subscribers, who benefit from a permanent 15% discount on Diamonds).
“The idea of enhancing the value of Funbridge Points, or BPs that will replace them, with titles showing players’ involvementin tournaments is nice. However, it seems to me that this is much more a reflection of how regularly we attend tournaments,and therefore of the number of tournaments played (and Diamonds purchased), than a hierarchy of players’ bridgelevels.” – Phil#31
How many Bridge Points you earn is based on a system similar to Funbridge Points. In that sense, just like the Funbridge Points rankings so far, the Bridge Points rankings will reflect the level of players who regularly take part in these tournaments throughout the year. The purpose of Bridge Points is not to summarise your overall bridge level on Funbridge, that is what the “average performance” displayed on each player’s profile is meant for.
“The conversion of Funbridge Points into Bridge Points is clear: 100 FP = 1 BP. But how will this translate into “level titles”? How many BPs will it take to reach each level and title?” – Roelof van Lopik
The number of points required for each level has not been revealed
yet, but stay tuned for more information in a few days!
“Titles such as ‘Emerging Talent’, ‘Rising Star’, ‘Local Star’ and ‘Aspiring Champion’ are vague, a little flat, and say nothing about the level. Nothing motivating in any case.” – William Saurin
The number associated to your level will be displayed in the Bridge Points tournament rankings. The corresponding title will only be displayed on your profile. You are free to choose whether or not to communicate it when talking to other players.
“I think that before trying to make us pay for Diamonds, FB should urgently improve the level of Argine.” – titiboul
We understand that you are concerned about Argine. However, rest assured that the new features on Funbridge, such as the launch of Bridge Points or the new tournament concepts regularly offered, are not to the detriment of Argine as they do not mobilise the same teams at Funbridge or the same skills. The level of our robot continues to improve, largely thanks to your reports of abnormal deals. We are committed to working on better communication about the changes made to Argine. We will soon communicate on this subject.
Ready, steady… Stay tuned!
In a few days’ time we will be revealing the number of Bridge Points required to reach each level. You will get a sneak preview of which level and title you will start your Bridge Points adventure with on 1 November.
A few days later, the best strategists among you will enjoy a preview of the Bridge Points event calendar up to the end of the year. Perfect to target the events awarding lots of Bridge Points!
