CMBA Directors (& "Helpers") - Swiss Event Training May 21 |
There will be a meeting on Tuesday, May 21 at 1:30 PM at the Holden Senior Center for all area Directors who are interested in learning about running Swiss Team events. Also, we are seeking one or two "volunteers" who will assist Directors during future CMBA Swiss events. Anyone wishing to learn more should also attend our May 21 meeting.
Swiss events are re-emerging as a popular format, and the CMBA Board has authorized four such events annually. At present, however, we have only one Director experienced in setting up Swiss events, assigning matches, and completely handling scoring through ACBLScore as well as on paper "progress charts." Common sense dictates that CMBA should have at least two – and better, three or more – Directors who are comfortable taking responsibility for Swiss events if we are to continue to offer them.
Our meeting of the 21st will discuss topics such as setup of the room and pre-duplication of boards in order to speed up the event. We will set up, and completely score (it’s easy!), a sample event during our meeting. Even if you are one of our (many) fully-qualified yet inactive CMBA Directors, please consider helping the Unit with Swiss events, either as primary Director or as a helper.

Welcome |
WELCOME to the Central Mass Bridge Association, or CMBA Web Site. CMBA is Unit 113 of the ACBL, American Contract Bridge League. Membership is open to all Central Massachusetts contract bridge players who enjoy this challenging, competitive and mind-stimulating card game.
The Greater Worcester area has several games every week at four locations. See below for upcoming games. Click on the CLUBS in Unit 113 in the upper left hand corner for a list of all clubs with associated club information.
NEWCOMERS are always welcome at CMBA bridge games. Some clubs provide partners if a player arrives 15 minutes before the scheduled game time. To ensure that partner can be provided, please call the club contact, listed under "Clubs".
DUPLICATE BRIDGE is similar to party or rubber bridge games. Most games are stratified which allows players of similar experience to compete with one another playing the same cards in each session.
