Teaching assistants play for free. Lessons (optional) are provided via a video that you watch at home in your own time. These sessions are hosted, so players don’t need a partner, but they can come with a partner if they'd prefer. The sessions are scored and it’s fine to use crib sheets etc. There are no Master Points or NGS.
