Pro-Am Teams on Friday 15th November |
We're running a pro-am teams event on Friday 15th November, at 7.15pm, at the club. This replaces our regular monthly online Friday evening teams session. It's pro-am teams with a difference - instead of a "pro" being paired with an "am", you'll play with your regular partner, but we'll match the more experienced pairs (the "pros") with the less experienced pairs (the "ams") to make up a team. The idea of this is that the "ams" get the opportunity to discuss the hands with the "pros" afterwards, and hopefully receive some useful advice on how best to bid and play the hands in a teams session. This is intended to be a good learning experience for those who wish to improve their teams play.
There are no specific definitions of "pro" and "am" pairs, but in general the "pros" will be those who play in the 1st and 2nd divisions of the evening Wessex League (NGS usually 10 or higher), and the "ams" will be those who play in the 3rd and 4th divisions (NGS usually under 10), but this is flexible. Pairs who don't normally play in the Wessex League are also very welcome*.
Entry fee £4 per player (£2 for concessions). Note that Masterpoints will be awarded, and the session will count towards your NGS ranking.
*Please note that this event is aimed at members 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. It is for members only.

"Ams" |
If you and your partner are interested in playing as "ams", please email Liza who will match you up with some team mates. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, but please note that we can't guarantee a place for everyone who applies. Please do not come to the club unless you have been told that you have a team.
This event closes to new entries at the end of Wednesday 13th November.
