SCHEDULE
Are you looking to learn about Duplicate Bridge or practice what you've learned in recent duplicate bridge lessons? Do you feel more comfortable learning in a relaxed setting with people of your own experience level? The Cincinnati Bridge Association offers Saturday Supervised Play for bridge players starting or wanting to start playing bridge! Focus will be on new conventions, better bidding, and play techniques. These sessions are open to members and non-members alike.
Supervised Play is for those familiar with bridge but still basically beginners. In Supervised Play, experienced bridge players coach you on bidding, play and defense during each hand. Supervised Play provides you with an opportunity to meet new partners, and there is a half hour lesson before play begins.
Supervised play is not a sanctioned game - no master points are awarded. One weekend every month the Saturday Supervised Play Duplicate might hold a sanctioned game for masterpoints ($5 per person) if there are enough tables. Be sure to try this - a great way to learn about playing duplicate bridge!
Come join us for a fun Saturday morning! Bring a friend! Show up a few minutes early to sign in. We will match players of similar experience at the table. A short lecture starts at 9:30 AM (various bridge topics).
Cost: $5 per person ($1 Youth).
Contact Mike Purcell (mikpur2015@gmail.com ) if you have any questions about Saturday Supervised play.
