The mentoring program is designed to help people who have not yet achieved Life Master status improve their bridge skills. This program provides a wonderful opportunity to increase a novice's skill in bidding, defense and declarer play by working and playing with a more experienced partner in a regular game environment. The following are the guidelines for the Mentoring Program:

1. Program period is from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
2. Mentee must be a current paid member of the Jacksonville School of Bridge. 
3. Mentee must have less than 300 Masterpoints. 
4. You should try to play with your Mentor no more than once a month or 8 times during the year. 
5. It is up to you to play with your Mentor at a time that is convenient for your Mentor. 
6. You must play an additional four times per year at the Jacksonville School of Bridge (in addition to the times you play with your Mentor). You may play all four times in one month or sporadically throughout the year. In this way you will become more experienced, will be practicing what your Mentor is teaching and you will be supporting the club that sponsors the program.
