Four-is-Enough

This is a fun game of bridge that encourages our experienced players to team up with eager members who are still learning.

The Four-is-Enough game will be played on the first Wednesday of the month starting at 1:00 pm. Our next game is 2 October 2024.

Partnerships cannot total more that 4 points based on their master point holdings:

          >400  = 3
75 - 399    = 2
<75  = 1

A player with more than 400 master points can only play with a player holding fewer than 74 master points (3+1 = 4)

Two players each holding between 75 and 399 master points can play with each other (2+2 = 4)

A player holding 75-399 master points can pay with a player holding fewer that 75 master points (2+1 = 3)

Master poet holdings will be determined on the 15th of the month.

Partnerships can change each month; there will a minimum of 3-tables for the game to be played; and it is th club norm of $8.00 per player.

Some Guidelines / Points to Remember

  • This game is to promote and encourage new partnerships in an enjoyable, fun and relaxed environment.
  • Beginners are here to learn.
  • Advanced players, your role is to support and provide positive feedback on their bidding and play.
  • We ask that any discussion regarding the hands be discussed following the game. (Identify one or two hands to discuss afterwards)
  • Please arrive 15- 20 minutes early before the game so you will have time to have a ‘discussion’ with your partner.
