The Honors / NYC Bridge crew has done a fantastic job bringing back the club feeling, now with a full schedule of open and limited duplicate games. Here is the latest schedule. Even the brick and mortar honors never had a designated “mid-flight” game.
Monday’s NEW private Save Your Club Schedule:
Pairs***NYC Bridge***Open***9:45 am
Pairs***NYC Bridge***0 – 99***12:15 pm
Pairs***NYC Bridge***0 – 750***12:30 pm
Pairs***NYC Bridge***Open***12:45 pm
Pairs***NYC Bridge***0 -3,500***3:45 pm
Pairs***NYC Bridge***Open***6:30 pm
There will be plenty more coming in the next few weeks. Bridge lessons and tutoring sessions will begin soon, as well as one of the big staples Honors used to offer: Supervised Play! Supervised Play is like semi-private lessons, usually led by a member of the teaching staff. You can play in a group of 4 that you choose, sign up as an individual or pair and be matched off with others. The best part is, it’s a friendly environment where everyone is there to learn from their mistakes. If you need help, just ask the instructor.
Why The Holdouts?
Understandably, not everyone has transitioned yet to online bridge. Maybe it’s just not as fun as the physical club, or we are still optimistic that things will be back to normal soon? I’m pretty curious what will happen months from now, when hopefully all of this virus business is long behind us (I know some experts say a full vaccine will take even longer). Will we forever have Support Your Club events online? Even if ACBL stops allowing black points to be awarded, maybe some of the online games will stay?
Anyway, back to the reasons people haven’t fully committed. Out of 109 answers, notice the 4th most common answer has been missing the lovely Honors buffet and froyo machine! I also miss the Aces 20 boards for $20 Bucks with Pizza on Thursdays.
