More Masterpoint Opportunities Are Coming
From Betsy Ovitt, Unit 479 President:

Your Unit Board decided to provide funding support to EBC for the specific purpose of hosting more Special Games that award higher levels of masterpoints, especially those that award sliver, red or gold points.

There are a wide variety of Special Games available to the Club and Unit, though usually with additional sanction fees. For example, NAP and GNT qualifier games, Stardust games, StaC games, and a variety of other charity and championship games can be scheduled. The Unit decided to cover the additional sanction fees for Special Games so that unit members could benefit from the extra masterpoints without having to pay additional table fees. Special Games will be announced at the club and on the EBC website as they occur throughout the year.

The Unit committed approximately $1,000 per year to this initiative. At present the Unit runs an annual budget surplus each year due to Unit games and the Eugene Sectional Tournament sponsored by the Unit. A special thanks to John Cissel who developed this initiative for everyone.

Here is the tentative schedule:
