Bridge Manitoba will be hosting a Helen Shields Rookie-Master game on Tuesday, April 2nd at 7:00 pm (registration at 6:30). This is a Canada-wide game run by the Canadian Bridge Federation and named after a well-known teacher and promoter of duplicate bridge to newer players. In this game, "rookies", defined as players with 100 masterpoints or less, are partnered with "masters", defined as players with over 100 masterpoints. Players across the country play the same hands, and printed hand analyses prepared by top Canadian players are provided after the game. The pair with the best percentage score in Canada is declared National Winners and receives a trophy. The pairs with the top percentage score in each Zone receive a plaque. All club winners receive certificates. Due to increased sanction fees for this game, card fees will be $10. 

This is a fun and educational event and we encourage both rookies and masters to come out! If you are interested, please contact Dave West at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 204-255-5823.

We have been cordially invited to attend the Minnesota Gopher Regional, being held at the Crowne Plaza Aire Hotel in Minneapolis from May 20th through the 25th.  For more information, click here.

 

 

 

Just a reminder regarding director calls at our games... when you request that a director come to your table, regardless of how you may be feeling at the time, please do not shout out in an annoyed tone "DIRECTOR!". Instead, simply raise your hand and say in a clear, calm voice, "Director, please". Keep in mind that our directors work very hard before, during, and after each game, and we could not run our games or tournaments without them. They deserve our respect and appreciation.

Saskatoon will be holding a Gold Rush Regional for players with <750 MPs from July 12-14, 2024.   This is a great opportunity to earn those missing gold points needed for your Life Masters designation.  To be eligible for gold points you must play in both sessions of a 2 session event that includes players up to 750 masterpoints.
