Online play became much more popular during the Covid-19 pandemic and it still offers many play options. The UKBGF launched an online league and annual knockout tournament for members in January 2021, both of which are completely free to join. Members may sign up to join the league and they will be included in the next quarterly season, and for the annual knockout they may join before the start of the next event which runs for a full calendar year.
