Tomorrow!
* 10:45 0-500 Pairs
* 7:30 Open Pairs
In the evening game, we play 6 minutes per board, which is usually
plenty. I also have a newcomer game running alongside the open game, so
there are extra masterpoints awarded based on those tables.
Come play if you can! The Partnership Desk is good for finding partners,
and if you still need one at game time, I can get you in with one of the
volunteer standby players.

The masterpoint awards for these games have been really good. Worth a visit!

We have two great games on Saturday, plus the 9:30 mini lesson:
* 9:30 mini lesson (see below for Zoom link)
* 10:00 0-500 Pairs
* 12:30 Open Pairs
These are Educational Foundation games, paying double points, and
benefiting the ACBL Educational Foundation.
For the mini lesson, I'm pivoting to defender play this week. I'll start
with a couple of Saturdays on "leads against notrump contracts" and I
think tomorrow's lesson will be satisfied with "leading partner's suit."
A worthy topic!
Here's the Zoom link for the lesson:

if not a local player.
