Thank all who participated in the Mentor Mentee game on Sat. Nov. 23, 2024 at the Greater Vancouver Bridge Club. You can see the results below.
Based on past experience, because of the tremendous interest in the game, a Mentee must have fewer than 500 masterpoints and cannot be life master. Current ACBL Members and first time Mentees are given priority over non-members if we have a wait list. Regular partnerships are usually not permitted to play, but if there is a special reason, contact Judy or Mogjan to see if an exception can be made. Also only SAYC, Standard American and 2/1 are permitted to be played.
The games are designed to help newer players improve their game by "playing up" with an experienced player, while providing a fun, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere for local players to meet each other. It is exciting to see new players developing their game and very encouraging that we have experienced players willing to take the time to assist these up-and-coming players. A number of Mentees who have participated in the program are now playing as Mentors assisting other new players.
If you would like to participate, online registration opens approximately 4 weeks before the event, space is somewhat limited and places do fill up quickly. Once you have registered you will receive an email in the week leading up to the event confirming your registration and advising the name of the player you have been partnered with, or that you are on a wait list. You can check, cancel or change your registration by returning to the Mentor Mentee page and viewing the list of Mentees or Mentors. To modify your registration, click on your player name.
Cost: Mentees will pay for themselves. As a sign of appreciation the Mentors play for free, compliments of ACBL Unit 430.
