Hi,
Although I am no longer a board member, I would like to add my comment…
I believe that 750 is too high to qualify as a novice, as is anyone who has
earned the title of Life Master.
On the other hand, I do not think that all Life Masters would qualify as
good teachers, either. Friends, you have a can of worms if you label a
player based on Master Points, but I cannot offer an alternative, either.
Perhaps let the player decide which category he belongs in? Dunno.

I agree with Sherry. The novice players will be scared
off with a 750
ceiling. There are too many players under that bar that have many years of
experience and are not life masters because of shortage of colored
masterpoints.

I do agree that the “Under” players should have a maximum of 449 points,
as these are the true novice players. My experience with this event in
other units was that there was an imbalance with more novice players
signing up.
Another question: do experienced players sign up for this event with a
requirement of so many points or are they asked by board members to
participate.

Attached is a drastic update of the Over/Under
game I presented at our
last Unit Board meeting. Upon further consideration, I decided that the
purpose of this event is to have experienced players teach novice players.
That being the case, I revised the process to identify true novice players
(Unders) who are interested in pairing up with an experienced player so
they could learn bridge principles. This means that some of the usual unit
game players will be unable to participate in this event because they have
achieved some level of expertise and are no longer "novices".
Then, based on the number of Unders who sign up for the game, we, the
Board, will identify experienced players (Overs) to pair up with the
Unders. This unfortunately excludes unit players who are not Unders or
Overs, but it addresses the purpose of the game to be an educational moment
for beginning bridge players.
Please let me know what you think. We probably need to start signups for
the Under list by June 1st (latest) so that we can ensure that there are
enough participants to make this event a success.
Thanks
Richard
