Play It Forward - Give Back to Peterborough Bridge Club
ACBL is launching Play It Forward a new program which lets you support your club while playing On Line. During ACBL's November and December pilot program, every time you play in a 7:15 pm ET Real Deal game on RealBridge , ACBL will send $3 US to our club.
RealBridge enhances online bridge by incorporating video and audio features; you will be able to see and talk with your partner and opponents, just as in face-to-face bridge. ACBL tracks all our members playing online (through ACBL numbers) and mails us a check each month. If you want to know more, email the Real Deal Team . If you have any questions, contact Birte by phone at 705-313-9742 or email her at birteayer@gmail.com

| Swiss Game to be held on Saturday October 24th at 1:00 PM |
In a Swiss game, 4 players make up a team. It is a fun, social way to play bridge where we focus on making our contract. Overtricks are not important. One team plays against another team, then compares results to determine a winner. We play 4 rounds of 6 boards.
The “8 is enough” rule evens out the experience and strength factor among teams to make a more competitive and fun event. Players are rated according to their master points:
- Over 2500 =3
- 750 – 2499 =2
- Under 750 =1
Teams may be comprised of any combination that totals 8 or under. Examples using the player ratings above: 2+2+1+3 =8 3+3+1+1=8 2+2+2+2=8 etc. (It is okay for a team to total less than 8, but not more.) Contact Lyn Stevens to learn more or ask any questions. Email address: lynstevens@hotmail.ca

If you are not a member of our club, costs are 11.00 per play. Coffee/tea is included. Bring a partner and please arrive at least 15 minutes before the game start time to allow our Directors sufficient time to set up the game. * Cash only please.
Regularly scheduled games:
Monday 1:00 PM – There are two games that are offered, which play at the same time. Under 100MP - Both players must have under 100MP. (Generally fewer Boards are played which allows more time for play per Board. Cost for this game is only $6.00 for members and $7.00 for non members.) and an Open game – this game is open to all players
Tuesday 1:00 PM – Two players with under 750MP may play in this game. PBC Board has decided to allow players with over 750MP to play in the Tuesday game as long as they play with a player with UNDER 750MP. The intent of this rule is to allow for mentoring whereby an experienced player is paired with a newer/less experienced player.)
Wednesday 1:00 PM Two games are offered. An Open Game which is open to all players, and an under 300 MP game, where both players must have under 300 MP.
