We invite players of all abilities to join in weekly games at various clubs in our district. If you need a partner, we can find you one.

Our Barry Crane Award Winners

You don't need any special knowledge to play. All sessions are open to anyone who knows how to play bridge, and there are special weekly games just for novice, intermediate, and Life Master players. By playing, winners and runners-up are awarded master points from the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL).  These master points can be accumulated to earn the distinction of becoming a Life Master bridge player.

All games are duplicate style, which means that the same deals are played at all tables during a session. Everyone plays "regular" bridge, but the game is scored by comparing your score with others who play the same hands. Unlike rubber bridge, your score depends only on how well you bid and play the cards you hold -- not on how "good" your cards actually are.
