This lovely woman walked by and I was pumped with how fabulous she came to the event today! Heading downstairs to the big ballrooms, she was going to duke it out against the greats wearing this excellent outfit! I even offered her a green bracelet to go with the green outfit, and she happily accepted. Let’s see some more exciting outfits tomorrow!

On November 27th, I’ll touch down in San Francisco and for the next 10 days, I’ll be running around with my phone and a tripod and capturing all the fun moments of the NABC.
I’m Morgan Sabourin, though many of you might know me online as BridgeBabe530. I’ve been playing bridge since 2017 and fallen more in love with our game with each card I’ve played. But it wasn’t just the cards, not just the strategy that so enraptured me — but the people, the culture, and the energy that bridge affords me and our community.
But let’s be honest: bridge hasn’t always kept up with the world around it. The excitement is there, the stories are there, the drama is absolutely there — but the spotlight? Not always. And that’s where The Bridge Scene comes in.
I’m starting this project because I believe bridge deserves more fanfare, more personality, and more modern coverage. I want players — new, casual, competitive, returning, curious — to feel the same spark that hooked me.
Here’s what you can expect from me and from The Bridge Scene:
Fast-paced, easy-to-digest tournament coverage
Daily segments that bring you closer to the action, the players, and the community
Behind-the-scenes vibes from NABC events
Social-focused content that celebrates the heart of the bridge world
Beginner-friendly explanations, strategies, and fun moments
And most importantly, a warm, welcoming space for anyone who wants to be part of this game
My goal is simple:
To bring bridge into the modern era — with enthusiasm, creativity, and a whole lot of heart — and to help grow a community that’s as vibrant and thoughtful as the game itself.
I’m so excited you’re here.
Happy Bridging,
