Wednesday, November 20th at the Academy, there will be a game in memoriam of Virginia Zilic. Come out and play in honor of this long standing expert member of the Houston bridge community. As always, game starts at 10:30 am.
Wednesday at the Academy there was a spectacular party to celebrate Betty Starzec's remarkable achievement of Platinum Life Master. Less than 0.25% of bridge players in the US reach the level of Platinum Life Master. There was extraordinary food and a FULL HOUSE to honor the exceptional Betty Starzec and her journey to becoming a Platinum Life Master.
Mentor/Mentee games are held on the first Tuesday of each month. The next game will be held on Tuesday, December 3rd at 10:30. If you would like to participate, you can signup by sending an email to Bert Onstott, bertonstott@comcast.net.
Mentees must have less than 300 master points. Anyone with over 300 master points, a love for the game and a williness to play is asked to sign up as a Mentor.

What is the Eight is Enough Swiss team game?
It’s a fun version of bridge where players with mixed level of experience play together as a team.
There are three levels:
Level 1 – 0 to 1000 masterpoints
Level 2 – 1000 to 3000 masterpoints
Level 3 – 3000+ masterpoints
The members of the team must add up to 8 or less. So for example a Level 3, two Level 2 and one Level 1 player would add up to 8 as would four Level 2 players.
Another example would be to have three Level 2 and one Level 1 player. That adds up to 7 and it is OK to be less than 8.
Our games will be held on one of the Sundays during the month at 1:30 pm.
Looking forward to seeing you at the game
