Roy, what you're suggesting is essentially two separate games. There is
no way to fairly mix in non-Over/Under players into the same section as
the Over-Unders. It doesn't matter if they're "scored" separately or
not. If some Over/Unders have to compete against non Over-Unders, and
others don't, it's not providing a level playing field.
If there are enough players for a three-table separate game, I'm willing
to direct it. We'll have to come up with room to put the second section.
That's a little hard to imagine at Diane's club without the second room.
We currently have ten tables.
The Over players are only by invitation, and players have to earn that
invitation by having a reputation for being pleasant at the table and
kind and gracious to their partners and opponents. We presently have
some players who only marginally meet those requirements.
Remember that "flights" are separate sections, and "strats" are within
the same section. You used the word "flights" when I think you meant
"strats."
This is a hard "no" from me.
