A couple of changes
Bridge in Oz has now been split off from its parent site which also hosted a sub-forum for expats. As you have doubtless noticed the new primary URL is "https://in-oz.com/bridge". Also there is now a "digests" feature that will email you a weekly summary of new postings in the fo...

Re: Eleven Card Fit
That sounds reasonable, though if partner has no feature then I'll settle for 3D. It's hard to see where 11 tricks would come from.

Low-tech Online Bridge?
I was just thinking a conferencing app like Zoom could be used to play bridge in a way that is pretty close to playing in-person.
