Two ways to belong

Brotherhood and Social Members

Brotherhood Member

Earned through interview, evaluation, and induction

Brotherhood Members run the club. They hold the governance vote, operate the space, and carry out BDC's service work in the community.

Social Member

Apply online · board approval

Social Members come to play, compete, and be part of the community. Membership includes access to the space and events, with no role in governance or operations.

Social Members are always welcome to pursue the Brotherhood path through the normal interview and evaluation process.

Social Member benefits

What membership includes

  • Access during open play hours
  • Discounted entry to tournaments and paid events
  • Priority registration for events with limited seats
  • Two guest visits per month
  • A members-only tournament or league night each month
  • Digital member card (coming soon)

Founding rate · seats 1–81

$36/month

or $360/year (two months free). Locked for as long as your membership stays continuous, plus your name on the founders' wall at HQ and on bdclub.org.

or $450/year (two months free).

Dues are paid by Zelle after your application is approved. Dues pay for membership benefits and are not a tax-deductible donation.
