    In addition MObridge teams were third and fourth in the C Flight competition.

  • Our new marketing committee has developed flyers to advertise our club offerings.  Copies can be found in wall files beside the bulletin board.  Please take a few to post in areas you feel are appropriate.  If you are going to a tournament and can take some with you, please let the director know.  
  • We have heard your complaints about old cards and will changing some of the older decks out.

 

  • As some of you have noticed, the hand sanitizer we have out is past the expiration date.  We have checked with a healthcare professional who stated that it is still good to use.  It might be slightly less effective but not to any great extent.  So please sanitize!!!!

 

  • Games on July 1 are cancelled due to the holiday.   We will not be having our end of month Sunday game due to the holiday weekend!

FIND A PARTNER / HOST Programs

       LOOKING FOR A PARTNER?  Use our FIND A PARTNER Feature       

The FIND A PARTNER Program is for both F2F & Virtual Games.

Follow the Instructions under the "Find a Partner" Tab on our Home Page.

    Note that this feature services MObridge Members only.    

As a Member, you complete the request, and request can only be removed by you.

 

       THE HOST PROGRAM      

The HOST Program for F2F Games is Back - Guaranteed Partners

This program is designed to benefit our members, new players and visitors to find a partner.  This is how it works:   

  • Any Club Member can volunteer to HOST.  One may HOST as often as he or she wishes.  
  • You choose the game and the day that best suits your schedule.
  • To sign up to be a HOST, on our website calendar you can click any game that has “Host Wanted” in the game slot.
  • A window opens and you will need to sign in as a member.  
  • Once you sign in your name will appear on the calendar as the HOST for that game. 
  • On your designated day you will arrive 15-20 minutes prior to game time and be prepared to partner anyone who shows up without a partner.
  • Each "two singles" that show up will be paired up to play together, and if we have only even #s show, they are paired and the HOST goes home.
  • If the HOST is required to play, then they play for free, and if they are not needed they receive a Free Play to be used at another time.

NOTE that this program is for F2F Games only.

If your plans change and you cannot HOST, please let the Club know so that your name can be removed and another has the opportunity to HOST. 

Only the Web Administrator can remove the HOST.
