| 8=E BAM on Tuesday April 8 |
 |
Our first team game for 2025 is an Eight Is Enough (8=E) Board-A-Match (BAM). Start getting your teams together now and sign-up at the club.
As you know, 8=E team games limit the composition of your team. Players are assigned "team points" based on their total Masterpoint holdings. The sum of your team member's "team points" must be 8 or less. For this game, and likely other 8=E games this year, the "team point" assignments are as follows:
- 0-400 Masterpoints. Players who have 400 or fewer Masterpoints are assigned 1 "team point".
- 400-1500 Masterpoints. Players who have more than 400 and less than 1500 Masterpoints are assigned 2 "team points".
- 1500+ Masterpoints. Players with 1500 or more Masterpoints are assigned 3 "team points".
Any combination of players whose sum is 8 or less works. 3311, 3221, & 2222 meet the maximum configuration, but other lesser combinations are OK too.
This team game is a BAM. It plays and feels like a pairs game, because EW players move around the room, no waiting for your next assignment or scoring of IMPs. The movement of players and boards will seem strange for a pairs game, because it is arranged such that your teammates will play the board against the same team that you do when you play the board. In a BAM, there is no field to protect you, you either win (1 point), tie (1/2 point), or lose (0 points) the board against this team. At the end of the game, all your wins and losses are totaled to determine a winner. Easy enough, but BAMs are arguably the toughest games to win.
Please join us on Tuesday April 8 for some team fun.
