Announcements

499ers mark your calendars! Eugene/Springfield Unit 479 has scheduled a sectional tournament for April 11-12, 2025 at Emerald Bridge Club in Springfield, Oregon.

This is an opportunity to earn silver points in a limited-game environment. So if you are a non-Life Master with 499 masterpoints or fewer, join us for a fun time in April.

Two sessions will be held each day.

Here is the tournament flyer.

Swiss teams will be Saturday, December 14th. Lots of folks responded that they would be able to play on that date so we will see if we can make it work.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We are truly grateful and thankful to be part of such a caring and loving and, most of all, fun group of folks.

This message is for our 349er players.

Kevin Kacmarynski is going to present 4 free classes at an upcoming regional tournament. He has asked for input on what topics would be most helpful to our 349ers aka I/N players.

Here is how you can help. Please email me back with your answers to these bridge questions. If you have other questions, send those too! These are just to spark your mind to think about gaps in your own game.

1. What area of bridge do you feel you need the most help with? Bidding? Defense? Play of the hand? All of them?
2. What specific topic would you choose to have a lesson on? Some ideas are slam bidding, defense against NT, cue bids, etc.
3. What are partnership agreements and why are they so important?

Please get back to me by Monday, November 25, if you have ideas for lesson topics. Be as specific as possible.

Thank you for helping Kevin! 😊

Hi 349ers!

The next Unit Game is Saturday, October 19. To be clear, that is NOT this coming Saturday (UO vs Ohio State day). It is the following Saturday. Food and conversation at 9:00 and bridge at 9:30.

Please email me with your name and partner’s name if you want to reserve a place in the Limited Game room (back room). Let’s have a great turnout and fill all the tables!

Many thanks to all of you for supporting your/our Unit with this great event. Many thanks also to our chefs….I can’t recall right now who they are, but it will be fabulous food I am sure.
