I'm new here, and only 18 months into playing bridge. I am, however, pretty literate in computers, but this website/app is a Gordian knot. The search feature is limited. There are mentions of tournaments and "find a partner desk" but WHERE ON THE WEBSITE is this purported desk? If anyone knows the answer, please advise because this corporate entity hides from REALLY answering emails.
thanks

Welcome! Unless there has been an upgrade, the only partnership function is within each tournament listing.
For pair, non GIBBO tournaments there will be a "Access partnership desk" button once you click on the tournament listing.
good luck

But it's the last place you should click
In pairs tournaments without a known and trusted human partner, GIBBO is the least of all evils IMO.
If you have a known and (even half) trusted human partner then start your own table and get to know each other at IMPs.

As the saying goes, you have to play with many duds before you find a compatible partner.

I'm sure everyone has horror stories from their early days in bridge unless you were lucky enough to have someone take you under their wing.
