Published On: May 3rd, 20240 Comments on John Cissel and Josh Rosenbluth Post 71.57 ScoreIf 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
Published On: May 1st, 20240 Comments on Attention Newer Players: Gold Rush Games Offered in Three Oregon Tournaments in MayMay is a big tournament month in Oregon.
Sectionals in Seaside and Eugene with Intermediate/Newcomer gold rush games and a week-long regional in Redmond give players of all levels lots of opportunities to add to their colored points.
The Redmond regional also includes opportunities to play online on the tournament’s last day (May 19), with regionally-rated sessions at noon and 5pm.
Details in the links above.
Published On: April 28th, 20240 Comments on Get Ready for May TournamentsWe filled twelve tables for breakfast and bridge on Saturday, including five tables in the 299er section.
This was a special day. Don announced that with Jon Neimand’s generous matching contribution, our club raised over $5000 for Food for Lane County. Don expressed his appreciation to Jon for his donation and all he has done to promote bridge in Eugene/Springfield over the years.
In addition to Jon, we honored Jeff Taylor with this donation. Jeff was a big supporter of Food for Lane County and organized many fundraisers at our club during ACBL charity weeks over the years. We lost Jeff suddenly in December, 2021.
Thank you to everyone in our club who helped out this charity week. It’s yet another reminder of the caring and generosity of our bridge community.
Published On: April 21st, 20240 Comments on Good Turnout at Unit Game Celebrates Big Donation to Food for Lane CountyFrom Susie Leo:
Not only are there enough 349er players to fill the back room, but there is also another wonderful thing happening at the unit game on Saturday (April 20).
Don Marsh is going to give a short lesson on 2 hands right after the game is over! It’s true!
If you want to continue to improve your game, stay for his lesson.
Food, bridge, AND education! Does it get any better than that?
Breakfast at 9am, bridge at 9:30.
See you Saturday!
Susie
