What is Bridgetime Pay?

Bridgetime Pay is a system for cashless management of a bridge club’s tournament fees.

• All the players at the club have a club account.
• Players’ club accounts are debited when they play a tournament.
•  Players’ club accounts are credited when they make an advance payment to the club.

Does this mean that the tournament director does not need to collect tournament fees?

Yes. Players are responsible for ensuring they have money in their club accounts. Players can view their balance at any time online.

How does the tournament director check payments?

On their display, the tournament director sees all payments and the players who will pay the tournament fee in cash.

What happens if a player’s club account has a deficit?

The club can issue members credit. The club decides the amount of credit, which is usually one or two tournament fees. If all credit has been used up, a player must pay cash to the tournament director, who then deposits it in the club’s bank account.
