[Duplicate Bridge Association of Atlanta]

The DBAA is the local governing board for duplicate bridge in the metro Atlanta area. We usually run at least three sectional tournaments a year plus a weekly game, offer free lessons and in general do what we can to promote bridge in this area. We are always on the lookout for ways to promote our game and look for help and suggestions. Our weekly game is held each Wednesday night at the Atlanta Duplicate Bridge Center. It is located in an Office Park just past Burger King and Sushi Yoko on the East Feeder Road off the Winters Chapel Road exit of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Click here for map.
The DBAA rents the club that night from the owners of the club and is solely responsible for conducting the game and the game is in no way affiliated with the Atlanta Duplicate Bridge Center's regular schedule. Click here to find out more about who we are.

The director of the DBAA game is Miles Duke, whose e-mail address is dukefamily2006@bellsouth.net.  For partners, please contact Miles at 770-776-3475 or other DBAA board members.  You can also obtain other general information from any member of the DBAA board of directors.

Upcoming DBAA sponsored tournaments

Atlanta Junior Bridge Youth game

At our Junior game over the 2008 Labor Day Regional David Berkowitz, Curtis Cheek, Larry Cohen, Jerry Helms, Eric Rodwell and Jeff Meckstroth all came down to the game (at different times) and visited with the kids. For Jerry this meant being downstairs at 9:30 a.m. on a day he wasn't playing until the afternoon! The others came down early before they were due to play or stayed after they had finished. They talked about hands, recommended systems, talked about their bridge experiences, handed out trophies, etc. etc. There is a short article on the AJB home page with pictures of some of them with the kids click here.

Bi-monthly the DBAA game will be a part of a Wednesday network of games with hand records posted on the web. Go to this website to see why this will be such a plus for our game. www.wednesdaygame.com, be sure to look at the hand analyses section. GREAT SITE.
