EVANSVILLE  DUPLICATE  BRIDGE  CLUB

Coming in December

BULLETIN!!!!!
On Thursday, December 26, EDBC will host the last Unit Championship of 2024!
We have both open and 0-300 sections planned and will run both if there is sufficient attendance.
You don't need to shop! You don't need to return! You need to play in our Unit Championship!

♣ The last F2F game of the year on December 30 will be Four is Enough (FiE).
Briefly, FiE is a partnership game in which no pair can have a "value" of more than four.
A list of our regular F2F players is posted at the Club, showing players with
0-300 points (1), those with 301-1200 (2), those above 1200 (3).
We hope you will take this opportunity to play with someone other than your regular partners.♣ 

There will be no Wednesday Novice game on Christmas or New Year; they will resume January 8.
Saturday Chat Games are on hiatus until January 11.

  


♠ ♥ ♦ ♣  Our Novice (0-20 mps) game is Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. The game fee is $5. ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

EDBC Face-to-Face Schedule
(O=Open, L= 0-300, N=0-20)
 Monday & Thursday - O & L, 12:30 p.m.
Wednesday - N, 9:30 a.m. and occasional special games at 12:30
Saturday - O & N, 12:30 p.m.
The Wednesday 12:30 game is on hiatus. Occasional team or other special games, for example, an ACBL-wide Charity game on September 11, will be announced as scheduled.

Game fees:

F2F games are $8 each, BBO games are $6 each. Novice games are $5 each. All Open and Limited F2F games are "special" which means points paid are higher than the standard club rates. Some even more special games, such as STaC, will pay silver, red or gold points. There will also be occasional special games on BBO, most of which pay double black points.

ACBL lifted restrictions on who can play in VACB games, so we hope we will attract more of our own members as well as those from other clubs. If you have an ACBL-member friend not associated with EDBC it will be much simpler to get them into our games. Contact Linda Cleek if you have questions.

BBO Open Stratified Games:
Tuesday & Friday 12:40 PM CT  
Sunday  2:00 PM CT

BBO 0-300 Stratified Games: 
Tuesday 12:15 PM CT 
Sunday 1:45 PM CT 

Note: Birthdays will be celebrated on the second Thursday of each month with the club providing cake. The fourth Saturday will be a carry-in lunch with the Club providing drinks. Attendees should register in advance (list at the Club) and bring a covered dish. There will be BOTH Open and 0-300 games only on special occasions.

Check this site and email notifications from our president for ongoing changes as we try to adapt to the needs and wants of our players. If you want to insure the continued success of EDBC, please support EDBC and ACBL with your participation in EDBC games at the Club and on BBO (VACB141994)!
