Newcomer Game w/mini-lesson:
Each session begins with a mini-lesson for about 20 minutes – followed by a Newcomer Duplicate Game of 9 hands/boards.
This is another educational opportunity so you can use any notes that you have -- even ask questions when you get "stuck".
We do allow extra time to play the hands in the Newcomer Game
(10 + minutes per hand).
At the end of each game, the winners will be awarded masterpoints. Cost is $ 10.
