IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR STUDIO!

June Announcements

Denton Bridge Studio is getting ready for YOU! We are doing our best to provide a safe environment but we need you to do your part too. It takes a village to come out for the positive; there are no guarantees but we can certainly try to provide the best, and do our best, to follow the criteria sent to you earlier in April and listed in the waiver attached below.

To play, you will need proof of vaccination and a signed waiver outlining player responsibilities and expectations. Please click on the link to see and print out the waiver. Waiver

Covid Infographic (acbl.org)

Your BOD has decided on the following safety measures:

Mandatory vaccines (proof of vaccination first time playing)
Any person that has been sick/fever less than 24 hours...Stay Home Please!
Masks are optional
Distancing of tables
No open containers/shared food
The ice maker will remain off
Coffee drinkers, you need to bring in your own coffee with a lid ...the pot is shut down until further notice
Lunch brought in for self will be consumed in designated area only
No food in playing area
No open cups (sodas, water bottles and cups with lids are okay)

Hand sanitizing should be done frequently; suggestions are when entering the facility, after eating and after each round played. When touching community items, you can't sanitize enough for your own safety. Denton Bridge Studio will have all sanitizing supplies available.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! LET THE F2F GAMES BEGIN!

♥

Thanks are in order to all the folks who have been supporting Denton Bridge Studio online and now in our transition period of offering games F2F. Both VG and F2F games will be offered for an undetermined time. Your BOD will be meeting June 23rd. If you have any concerns, please contact a board member. In addition, if you would like to attend, please let me know and I will send you the zoom link.

Our goal, as a member owned studio, is to offer not only a game that will exercise your brain, but games that are reasonably priced, fun and competitive in Denton County for all duplicate bridge players. Our staff are volunteers and we are always looking for a few more willing participants to play and volunteer. We are in need of a Facility Manager, a Web Master and Studio Manager Trainee. For Denton Bridge Studio to continue on, we need our members support by playing in the Virtual Games and F2F Games, and to volunteer. As our neighboring clubs open, and as folks are feeling safer about returning to everyday life, we have noticed a drop in our table count. We can't exist if you don't play. A concern we have as your BOD is that there are many of you whom we haven't seen in the VG or F2F! Where are you? We hope you are well and return to play soon! Maybe you could call someone you know and check-in on them.

June is a busy month and we have an exciting schedule for you! NAP begins this month and runs until the end of August. These games pay extra points and are also RED & Black points! Playing in these games, and qualifying, gives you a chance to play at the District Level for a chance to go to Spring 2022 Nationals!
All NAP games are $6. To view our calendar click this link: JUNE 2021 CALENDAR

We also are offering two Longest Day Games. The first one is a VG on Sunday, June 20th, @ 1:30 for $8 and then a second game F2F on Thursday, June 24th @ 10:30 for $10. All fees will go to the Alzheimer's Association. We are happy to take additional donations either at the studio or you can write a check to the Alzheimer's Association and mail your check to Denny Reid, 4001 S. Broadway Ave., #10421, Flower Mound, TX 75028.

Lastly, Endless Summer Regional Online Games are back, June 24th-27th and award RED & Black Points. These games will be $6 each.

GUEST POLICY FOR ONLINE GAMES

The guest policy has changed and I am trying to keep up with the changes and keep our game within the parameters of ACBL policy. Guest must register with the manager before the game they wish to play. This policy only applies to online games.

· You may play with a guest.

· Two players may now play together as guests.

· The total number of guests are subject to a 15% total cap per week. If we are close to going over the 15% allowance, the manager reserves the right to refuse a guest for any game.

· Guest play is subject to manager approval and spots will first be given to a member playing with a guest.

· As always, I try to accommodate players and get them in the game but there are no guarantees for last minute requests. It is much easier to give a day notice to accommodate guests. Please email the studio @ dentonbridgestudio@gmail.com

We look forward to seeing you online and F2F! Thank you for your continued support!
