Join Us at the Eugene Sectional and I/N Regional May 31 – June 2

We have another great event in store for you this year!

Once again we are holding our Sectional and I/N Regional at the Morse Event Center on the campus of Bushnell University in the heart of downtown Eugene. Our tournament starts on May 31 and runs through June 2.

Here’s more information from our tournament coordinator:

We would love to see you at the 2nd annual 2024 Eugene I/N Regional & Open Sectional hosted by Unit 479. If you are a newer player this event is specifically designed for you. You may earn Gold & Red points by playing and scoring well in the stratified Gold Rush event, which is limited to those non-life master players with 750 master points or fewer. The Open section is stratified and open to all players who might win silver master points.

Come for the yummy snacks and to meet great people for a fun weekend of bridge! It’s a great location at the Morse Event Center on the Bushnell University campus, adjacent to the U of O. Parking is free and plentiful. Click on the attached flyer for more details.

Please note: ACBL has informed me online registration will NOT be available for this tournament. Please arrive with plenty of time to get registered and have a snack. Payments will be taken with credit or debit card only; no cash is accepted.

I hope to see you soon.

Attention Newer Players: Gold Rush Games Offered in Three Oregon Tournaments in May
If you have 750 masterpoints or fewer and are not a Life Master, you are an Intermediate/Newcomer (I/N) in ACBL jargon. That means you qualify to play in Gold Rush games in the three Oregon tournaments in May.

Gold Rush games are for I/N’s only, giving newer players great opportunities to win gold and red points.

Look for the Gold Rush games on the tournament schedules.

Here are the details on Oregon’s May tournaments:

Seaside Sectional and I/N Regional, May 3-5

High Desert Regional in Redmond, May 13-19

Eugene Sectional and I/N Regional, May 31-June 2
