 Additional Saturday Section for Advancing Players 

We have added a separate section to our Saturday game for players with no more than 20 masterpoints if the number of players is sufficient. Winners in the 0–500 section will get masterpoint awards based on the total number of tables in play in both sections.

 Points and Pointers  Join us on Wednesdays for Points and Pointers, a real duplicate game designed for beginning and advancing players. The game is limited to players with 0–50 ACBL Masterpoints. Each table will play the same boards at the same time, and the leader of the session will discuss each board immediately after it is played. The table fee is $15, and the game will run from 12 Noon to 3 PM. Register by emailing the Club at kopbridgeclub@gmail.com or call 610–232–2250. You can also register in person at the Director's desk.

Rex Saffer presents selected topics in offensive and competitive bidding, declarer play, and defensive principles from 9:20–9:50 AM (please note change in time!) before the Friday Come Out and Play session and again before the Saturday 0–500 Limited game. The conversations will focus on fundamentals and are directed toward advancing and intermediate players.

 Come Out And Play  Just getting started with bridge? Now there are TWO opportunities to learn as you play! Join us on Friday and Saturday mornings from 10–11:30 am for a relaxed session of bridge. There will be no scoring, no masterpoints, and no pressure! – for only $10 per person. Come on out and drop in, no commitment or advance registration needed, and singles are welcome! Mentors will be available to answer any questions that may arise. This is a fun way to improve your bidding and play while meeting other advancing players.
