North American Pairs QualifiersThis prestigious “grass root” event continues through the end of August. You may qualify as often as you like and with as many players as you like.
Qualification entitles you to plan in the District 11 finals, if you are an ACBL member, and those winners compete in the ACBL finals held at the Spring 2010 NABC, in Reno, Nevada. Our district awards cash to the winners who qualify to compete in Reno. The club qualifying events award ½ red and ½ black masterpoints at sectional rating. COBA generously subsidizes the extra sanction fee, so “thank you,” COBA.
Bridge LessonsCurrently Cheryl Schneider is offering a "Shuffle and Play" class Monday mornings at 9:30. You may attend classes individually so there is no signing up just pick and choose when you'd like to attend. Also don't forget the FREE lesson every Thursday monring at 10:15 where you get reviews of interesting hands played at the club the preceeding week. "...I believe that you should look smart at the table, out of respect for what you are doing. As bridge moves towards being regarded as a sport rather than a game, the image presented by the players will become even more important. The way players present themselves will form a significant part of the public’s perception of bridge..". -- Zia Mahmood |
