EVANSVILLE DUPLICATE BRIDGE CLUB
Upcoming Events
One more day of Royal STac!!!! Saturday, March 30
Masterpoint Awards are 25% Gold, 25% Red, 25% Silver & 25% Black!
And in April...
Four is Enough (FiE) on 4/4. Here's how it works:
FiE is a partnership game, not a team game. Each partnership is allowed a value of 4.
Players with more than 2,000 points have a value of 3,
500-2000 points are 2s and those under 500 are 1s.
A partnership can have no more than 4 points total, so 3+1, 2+2, 2+1 and 1+1 are legal pairs.
You are encouraged to find a partner now, though we will try to match individuals on 4/4.

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 April 24, 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 recently 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)!
