| Pro-Am Pairs |
We are running a Pro-Am pairs session at the club on the evening of Wednesday 12th November at 7.15pm. This replaces the usual Wednesday evening session. For those who are unfamiliar with this type of event, this is where we pair a player with a higher NGS (a pro) with a player with a lower NGS (an am). There is no hard and fast line dividing pros and ams, but most pros will be Jack or higher, and most ams will be 10 or lower.
We will play 20 boards to allow time at the end of the session to discuss the hands.
The event will be classified as a mentored session, which means it will not count towards your NGS ranking, although Masterpoints will be awarded as usual.
The results will be handicapped, based on NGS ranking, with a prize of two free games on Wednesday evenings for the top two pairs. Unhandicapped results will be uploaded to Pianola and the EBU.
Table money is £4 for pros and ams alike (£2 for concessions), payable by card when you arrive at the club.
Any queries please email Liza via this link.

| Entry form for Ams |
If you wish to play as an am, please submit your entry via the form below. You will receive an automated reply via email, but your name will not be visible on the website. DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: 2pm on MON 10TH NOVEMBER.
Numbers are limited, so if you are interested in playing please put your entry in as soon as possible! When all the places have been filled, you will go onto the waiting list.
When you put your entry in please let us know whether or not you prefer to play ACOL or 5-card majors, or don't mind which system you play. We will choose your partner partly based on the system you prefer to play, and also based on NGS rankings.
Please note that this event is aimed at those who play in our regular duplicate sessions; it is not suitable for those who are still learning to play bridge (ie Bridge for All members), or those who only play in Supervised Play sessions.
Club members will have priority - non-members may play if we have spare spaces.

| System cards |
We are providing basic standard system cards for ACOL and 5-card majors. The ams can choose which one they wish to play. Click here to view the system cards. You may make minor changes to your chosen card if you wish, by agreement with your partner, but we prefer that you make as few changes as possible to make discussion of the hands easier afterwards.
