A place for everything, and everything in its place.

To make the website easier to navigate so that you find what you’re looking for more quickly, we’ve made some adjustments to the framework of the website. This is in addition to the new look and feel that incorporates ACBL’s new branding style.

Navigation Links

We’ve taken the most frequently used parts of the website and made them easier to find. They will be at the top right of every page or section of the site you visit. They include the Menu button, the Search bar and the MyACBL link.

If you want to reach the home page at any time, simply click the ACBL seal, which is at the top left of each page.

Note: the full menu and search are not available in the MyACBL portal at this time.

Internal Page Navigation

Below are four buttons that serve as the navigation inside a page. These will be found on each page of the site and will correspond to the sections available. By clicking them you will be taken to the section that pertains to the button category.

• Menu
• Search
• Back to Top Button
• MyACBL

The orange Menu button at the top right of each page acts like a sitemap, directing you to each corner of the website. In order to get you where you want to be as quickly as possible, we have created several main website categories and sub-categories with their own pages. These can be accessed from the Menu button.

The Menu has four “top-level” categories – Popular Links, Helpful Information, Membership and More. Below are some descriptions of what you’ll find, but you may also want to take a few minutes to explore.

• Popular Links: A grouping of the most-visited pages from the previous website.

*In the beginning you may see more BridgeFeed results than main page results, this will inprove over time as the pages are used more.

Because we have created scrolling pages for this site, we have given you a quick way to get back to the top of any page. Once you have passed the fold (your web browser window’s bottom border) you will see the “Back to Top” button in the lower right of your screen.

Just click it and you will be transported “Back to Top” of the page.

We’ve cleaned up the MyACBL menus and given it a fresh look to make it easier than ever for you to find what you are looking for. Your account settings are accessible at all times at the top right of the screen once you log in (next to the user icon).

Although the Online Partnership Desk has gone away, we’ll soon be adding an exciting new feature to MyACBL – pre-registration for all sanctioned tournaments! RSVP and let tournament sponsors know you’ll be coming and when.
