As many will know, I run BBO tournaments primarily for members of my local club so they are well suited for intermediate and advanced players, while experts would probably get frustrated by the standard. The key is that people just have a safe and friendly tournament that they enjoy*.

Since the original lockdown started, I've been running a Saturday morning pairs, just 12 boards starting at 11:00am GMT. Over the Christmas period I am adding two more events:

Tuesday, 27 December
7-9.30pm GMT: Open Swiss Teams, ~20 boards

Thursday, 29 December
2-4.30pm GMT: Open cross imp pairs, ~20 boards

My tournaments are all free, with no prizes or master points but perhaps a little glory, but entry is restricted. If you wish to play and are not a BBO friend of mine, then just message me on BBO or here and I will add you to the include list as forums members are very welcome in these, or my Saturday, events.
