🌟 Celebrating Paddy Fiorino: A Gold Life Master! 🌟
On Wednesday, May 8th Sarah Springer and Marty Hrachovy hosted a great party to celebrate Paddy Fiorino achieving Gold Life Master. Congratulations, Paddy! What a wonderful party for a wonderful player!
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
Mentor/Mentee games are held on the first Tuesday of each month. The next game will be held on the Tuesday, June 4th at 10:30. If you would like to participate you can signup by sending an email to Bert Onstott, bertonstott@comcast.net.
