Good evening…welcome/welcome back…there will be no "lesson" tonight. 0 to 199 masterpoints covers a wide range of experience and ability, so we will split into two groups to better serve your needs.

Group A – Players with experience, comfortable with the movements, bidding boxes, scoring, and the fundamentals of duplicate bridge…….i.e. players who are primarily here to accumulate master points and improve their ACBL ranking. You will play at a steady pace that allows for 20+ boards to be played. Masterpoints will be awarded.

Group B – Players with less experience who want to play at a slower pace, allowed to ask questions, need more assistance from the director(s), etc. Players who need to leave before 10:00 p.m. can be accommodated in this group, but not in Group A.

Future Plan – Next week (5-16-07), a lesson/lecture/discussion will be offered from 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. for all who wish to attend. At 7:00 p.m., Group A will commence their duplicate session. Their last round must begin by 9:45 p.m., so the game will be over by 10:00 p.m., or shortly thereafter. Group B play will also commence at 7:00 p.m., but the progression will be at a slower pace for the less experienced players.
