Sunday Bridge 12:30
by Morris Jones 31 Jan '21

31 Jan '21

Open pairs today at 12:30! If you're looking for a partner, drop me a note. You might also try the Partnership Desk in the tournament. If you have a friend from "out of town" who'd like to play, let me know well in advance so I can add them to our Friends list. If you're curious, I try to track how many visiting players we have. I track on a monthly basis -- ACBL is tracking on a weekly basis -- but my count is pretty flat throughout the month. I'm currently running about 6.5% visitors. The official limit is 15%. So it's okay. :) We do have a handful of players from out of the area who have become "virtual" locals. They enjoy playing in our games, and meeting and playing with familiar players from the local clubs. I think that's delightful. :) See you at 12:30!

Wednesday bridge
by Morris Jones 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Wednesdays are busy at PPDVBC: * 10:45 0-500 Pairs * 7:30 Open Pairs Plus we have the Newcomer game with Zoom postmortem at 7:15. This game adds value to the 7:30 Open Pairs, so it's really worthwhile. Let me know if you're looking for a partner, or have a friend from "out of town" who'd like to play. :) There's also a group of us who have been getting together on Wednesday afternoons at 2:30 p.m. to play on RealBridge. It's a fairly experienced field. We love team matches, so we play a round robin team game if we have an even number, or an IMP pairs match if we don't. There are no masterpoints and no director, but we play on RealBridge, so we see and hear each other as we play. If this appeals, drop me a note and I'll see how the turnout looks. I'll send a note to the Newcomers about their game and Zoom after party tomorrow Wednesday morning.

Sunday bridge, last day of Silver Linings week
by Morris Jones 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

I have one last Open Pairs game to cap off Silver Linings week, Sunday at 12:30. Drop me a note if you're looking for a partner, or have a visitor who wants to play. If you're a 499er, there's another game that's District 23-wide. That's all of Los Angeles county. The game is at 3:15 every Sunday, and you may already be on the list for that game. If not, drop me a note and I'll forward it to Dave White.

Saturday Silver Linings Bridge
by Morris Jones 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

It all starts Saturday morning with our weekly *mini-lesson at 9:30*: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83912578991?pwd=Y1R2UnJ1TFM2dVZzYmsyTDdzeFcydz09 Meeting ID: 839 1257 8991 Passcode: 7ntxx Then at *10:00, 0-500 Pairs*. At *12:30 Open Pairs* I'm expecting a good turnout for both games. If you have a partner, come register for the game! If you need a partner, drop me a note. I might have someone who's also looking. We've also had good luck lately with players joining the Partnership Desk before the game. If you're on the Partnership Desk at game time, and I have a half table, I'll always invite you to help fill the table with a pick-up partner from the Substitutes list. If you have a friend from "out of town" who'd like to play, let me know well in advance.
