¶ Bridge Champ Web 2026.10.2 — Release notes
¶ New Features
- ACBL-sanctioned tournaments: play-with-bots tournaments can now be sanctioned by the ACBL and award ACBL masterpoints. (3706)
- Dates and times in your format: dates and times now follow your country's format (month-first in the United States, for example), in your language, and new settings let you choose the date and time format. (3744, 3772)
- Quiz folders: club teachers can organize their quizzes into folders, and students now find finished quizzes in their own Closed tab. (3760)
- Quiz editor: reorder questions, browse them with the arrow keys, copy the hand or auction from the previous question, and clear a question's hand or auction in one click. (3762)
- Minibridge and bidding practice in the app: the mobile app can now create minibridge and bidding practice tables, shows the players' names when you create or are invited to a table, and shows bidding practice results like the website. The Trick Taker and Blind Count minibridge variants are now available to everyone, and hosts of casual minibridge tables can remove players. (3733)
- Replay with bots in the app: you can now replay a board with bots from its results in the mobile app, choosing your seat and where to start. (3731)
- Credit packs: credits are now sold in packs from 500 to 5,000, and can be paid in euros as well as dollars. (3737)
- Start from a saved position: tournaments and vugraph events created from a deal set can now start each board from its saved position, with a preview of the hands. (3714)
- When you play with three bots, singletons and your last card are now played automatically; you can turn this off in the settings. (3727)
- A new optional setting lets you play a card with two clicks — the first selects the card, the second plays it — to avoid accidental plays. (3728)
- The claim dialog now preselects all the remaining tricks, so claiming the rest takes a single click. (3763)
- Tap a player's name or picture in a private chat to see their profile, then follow, message or challenge them. (3721)
- Clubs on a player's profile can now be opened or asked to join, the club owner's profile is a click away, and club timelines show how many new posts you haven't read yet. (3726)
- When you reset your password with your username, the screen now shows the first two letters of the email address the code was sent to. (3789)
¶ Improvements
- The app now reconnects on its own after a brief loss of connection instead of returning to the login page, and tells you when you are playing on another device. (3687)
- Faster response when bidding and playing cards, especially at tournament tables and tables with spectators. (3688)
- Bots play faster in complex positions early in the hand, and the double-dummy analysis of boards is now always exact. (3756)
- In minibridge, when your bot partner is declarer, you now choose the contract and play the hand for them. (3722)
- Cards on the web table now use more of the screen, are centred under the dummy, and can be made bigger in the in-game Settings. (3755)
- After you finish your boards in a tournament, its results now open as soon as you leave the table. (3746)
- Club members are now notified in the app and on their phone when a new quiz opens in their club. (3652)
- Tapping a "results are ready" notification now opens the results, even when the app was closed or you had to sign in first. (3690)
- When you add boards to the queue while playing at a casual table, their hands are no longer shown to you automatically. (3729)
- When an email address can no longer receive our emails, sign-up, password reset and email changes now say so instead of sending a code that never arrives. (3743)
- Repeated wrong passwords now make the login wait a little longer before each new try, to protect accounts from password guessing. (3735)
