0-200 MP PAIRS PLAY FREE THURSDAYS IN AUGUST
If you and your partner each have 200 MP’s or less, you can play FREE in the club’s Thursday 1 PM games during August and possibly longer! This game was started so experienced players ("mentors") could partner with players eager to improve their game ("mentees"). Now we’re also encouraging pairs in which both partners have 0-200 MP's to come and play—for FREE!
Here’s the deal:
- Al pairs where each partner has 0-200 MP’s play FREE in August!
- Scores will be stratified so you can win MP’s by beating other 0-200 MP pairs, or win even more if you score well against mentors playing with their mentees.
- To the degree possible, 0-200 MP pairs will sit E/W with mentor-mentee pairs N/S
- If you wish, when mentors are playing at your table, you can ask their advice on bidding or play to help improve your game.
Any questions? Contact Director Bob Enyeart at 260-438-8571 or Enyeart.Bob@gmail.com.

- Hand sanitizer, gloves, and sanitizing wipes will be available for any player wishing to use them.
- Until further notice, no food will be served. Players may bring their own snacks.
