Wednesday Non-Life Master Section Bridge Game

The ADBC has added a new section to the Wednesday game exclusively for 499er NLMs. The way this works is that if there are 12 or more NLMs who show up to play on Wednesday with a NLM partner, then the Director will create a separate NLM section. The Life Masters will play against each other in one part of the room and the NLMs will play in a different part of the room. Many of you have requested this and the ADBC was excited to accommodate you. It would be GREAT if you would let us know if you are coming and who your partner is so we know ahead of time if we need TWO sets of boards - one for the LMs and one for the NLMs. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tonya @ 337-781-5662 or email her at tonya.nowlin@gmail.com

No Partner? No Problem!!!

  

The club has an extra player on hand for the Monday, Wednesday and Friday games in case someone needs a partner. So if your partner cancels at the last minute, or if you are not able to find a partner, come anyway.  If one person needs a partner, the director will play with them. If the director already has a date, that partner will play with the extra player and the director will sit out. And of course if two people need partners they can play together.  So if you want to play and do not mind taking potluck, all you need to do is show up by 10:15 and you are guaranteed to play.
