Handicapped Swiss Teams
Thursdays, June 20,  and 27, 2019 at 6:30pm

Get the edge you need to compete with the experts and level the playing field! It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or a beginner - the handicap ensures that everyone has a chance to win. A masterpoint based handicap is added to your score for each match. 

How It Works 
  • Recruit a team of four of any level of players, or let us get you one.
  • First round match assignments are made randomly.
  • During the first round, your score is adjusted by an IMP handicap based upon your masterpoint holding.
  • The match winner is determined by the score after the handicap has been added in.
  • Each successive round is matched by ACBL score and the handicap is again calculated and added to determine the winner.
  • Handicapping "levels the playing field" of the 2 teams.
 
Need A Partner? No worries!
If you want to play and need a partner and/or teammates, call or email us and we will help you put your team together.

  ACBL Charity Game to Benefit Alzheimer's Care & Research
Friday, June 21, 2019. Join us for the annual The Longest Day fundraising event supporting Alzheimer's disease care and research! In the last two years bridge players have donated more than $1 million to help fight Alzheimer's in both the United States and Canada. You'll be honoring the more than 35 million people worldwide who are living with Alzheimer's and countless caregivers who face this disease. And by playing bridge, you'll show the world there is a fun game that may help slow the onset of this disease.
