Welcome to the Unit 216 & Des Moines Area web site - bridgewebs.com/unit216. We have ACBL sanctioned duplicate bridge games running most days. (Check the Information and Calendar items). We also have a variety of instructional classes (See Bridge Classes item) and several times a year hold ACBL Sectional tournaments at the center.

Be sure to check out the Using the Site section (under the News Page menu item) for first time users.

There is a section under News Page for Older News Items (over a year old or so).

Important News:

Gregg Walsh tested positive for Covid Tuesday evening.
He may have had the virus on Monday & Tuesday while directing.
As far as I know at this time, games will continue without Gregg (substitute directors).
 

Coming Soon!

Starting in September:

Game fees will be $10. This is due to the reduction in players since the pandemic.

Proof of vaccination continues to be required to play at the Bridge Center.

The Saturday games will be "4 is Enough" format. Each pair cannot be more than 4 points where:
0-500 = 1 point
500-2500 = 2 points
2500+ = 3 points

The Monday game will add a section for players with < 500 mps.
 

Bridge Center Organizations:

The membership of the "Corporation" and the "Unit Board" can always be found under the Information menu item.
Feel free to contact members of either group or our Club Owners (Gregg & Nancy) for any questions.
 

Points! Points!

Continuing in August, every game is a Club Championship.
Why? Beats me. Points Galore!
