More Information about Non-Life Master Events
This Non-Life Master tournament is a great way to try out duplicate bridge in a friendly setting. Any bridge player with 0-750 Masterpoints and not yet a Life Master is encouraged to play although bridge experience is needed. The 0-200 morning game is especially suited for tournament first-timers. You may play in morning, evening, or both sessions. Winners will receive SILVER points.
ENTRY FEE
Price per session is $15 for ACBL members; lapsed members pay an additional $4. Students age 25 and under pay $10 per session. Non-members can obtain a free 120 day membership at ACBL.org. Note that all participants must have an ACBL number.
LUNCH OPTIONS
Back by popular demand: Maverick Jack's has a special discounted menu to pre-order your lunch! You can also order from their main menu. Use this link to find out how to pre-order your lunch. All orders will be delivered directly to our bridge room at 1pm. Just make sure you say that the delivery is to The Villa. A Maverick Jack's representative will be on-site Saturday morning to help place orders.
Also, complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, and water will be provided. A list of local restaurants will be posted at the event or you may bring your lunch to eat between sessions. There is plenty of seating to eat your lunch on-site. Please be aware that there may be as little as one hour between sessions so it is best to buy take-out or bring your lunch.
REGISTRATION
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged since space is limited. Pre-registration will close two days prior to the event or earlier if all tables are filled. On-site registration and payment will close 10 minutes before each event.
The link to the google form pre-registration can be found in the event flyer and on Unit498.com. If you do not receive an email acknowledgement of your form submittal or have trouble using the form, please contact Carol Lashman
If you do not pre-register, please arrive at least 30 minutes before the event. This is a small venue, limiting our number of tables. Unfortunately, walk-ins risk being turned away due to lack of space.
Note that Masterpoint limits apply to each person individually (not average of the two partner MPs).
PAYMENT OPTIONS
We accept Venmo and Zelle for unit and sectional game fees as well as cash! Links and QR codes will be posted at the registration table. Why stand in line? Get into the room and socialize!
NO PARTNER?
Please use our ONLINE PARTNERSHIP DESK or contact Carl Ebeling if you need a partner.
PARKING
Parking at The Villa is free. See map for parking options. If you pre-register, you will receive an email prior to the event that includes the gate code. Otherwise, go to San Mateo Bridge Center for the code.
MASKS
At present, proof of vaccination is NOT required consistent with District 21’s present Covid policy. There is NO mask requirement at the tournament, unless a player at a table requests that masks be worn at that table. In that case, all players at that table are required to wear a mask. Please bring your mask to accommodate anyone requesting masking at their table
