Any NIBU member who wishes to play in a CBAI or
IBU event, online or face to face should preface their NIBU number with a 9 when asked for your membership number.
Example: My NIBU number is 2097 so when I enter a CBAI competition it becomes 92097.
There is no need to have a separate CBAI number any longer.

Club Rule - Seating Positions at the Table |
Members and Visitors are reminded of the following rule:
At ALL Club sessions, prior to the playing of the first board, the tossing of a coin or drawing of lots will determine the NS & EW seating positions if one pair requests it. Tournament Directors, players who for health reasons prefer to sit or move and those who can’t use the electronic scorers are exempt from this rule and get their choice.
