Newest Upgrades to SCBC Website Practice Page: The updated page now lists perhaps the best internet resources for learning and practicing bridge. From beginner to expert level, find materials to improve your game. SCBC Partnership Desk: The SCBC offers text messaging to members who have expressed interest in partnering. For more information with the option to join the growing group of players, click above or on the Partnership Desk link in the left-hand menu bar. New ISP and Domain: The SCBC website is now hosted by a new Internet Service Provider (ISP). This change was needed to improve email service, upgrade system software such as the OS-cPanel, MySQL, and PHP (the website depends on these being being maintained at the highest production level), increase storage capacity and service levels. Our new domain name is scbridge.org. The old domain, santacruzbridge.org, is now simply a redirect to the new domain. The new domain has been running since early May with no significant reported issues. We do recommend updating links using the old domain name to the new domain name on your computer and mobile devices. We will contact those still using old links in the coming weeks with this suggestion.
