The Online Pairs League (OPL) is a partnership between Bridge NSW and Bridge Victoria. It runs Monday nights on the RealBridge platform every season. It is played over eight weeks with some skips to avoid major events. You play twelve boards each night starting at 7:30pm, making it a short night and ideal for busy people.
Season results
Results are available through the Bridge NSW event calendar.

The OPL is designed for players of all levels. You play in divisions to ensure competition is at your level, be it novice, restricted, intermediate, or open. You can also earn red masterpoints.
Improve your bridge game
On RealBridge you can compare your bidding against:
- Others in your Division;
- Players in higher or lower Divisions; and
- Double dummy and alternative lines of play.
This provides an excellent platform for you, your partner, your teammates, your mentor, or others to review, coach, and improve your play.
