The Waskew Memorial Team Game will be held Saturday, January 17, 2026. This year the teams will be formed the way I remember Michael doing it once a number of years ago. You sign up as pairs. The pairs will be separated into two 'hats'; A pairs and B pairs. At the game Thursday afternoon, 1/15/26, a random draw will match A pairs with B Pairs to form the teams. The resulting teams will receive handicaps using the ACBL team game handicap guide.

Like always, the CoA is closed on Saturday, so enter from the back of the building. The door will be opened at 9:00am, with the game starting at 9:30am. There will be four rounds of six boards. We should finish between 12:30 and 1:00. No lunch will be provided, but the usual hospitality and anything else members bring will be available.
