Mark your calendars! The popular GNYBA Pro-Am-Am-Am Team Game returns on Sunday, April 4, 2027, at Honors Bridge Club! Last time we had over 25 teams participate!
For those who haven’t played before, the Pro-Am is one of our favorite events and a great introduction to team bridge and IMP scoring in a friendly, social setting. Each team consists of three amateur players and one experienced “pro,” usually a Life Master or even a Grand Life Master.
You’ll play three rounds of bridge, switching partners each round so that every amateur gets a chance to partner with the pro. Teams are grouped by skill level, so you’ll be competing against players of similar experience. It’s a fun opportunity to learn from stronger players, meet new bridge friends, and enjoy a different format from your usual pairs games.
Date: Sunday, April 4, 2027
Location: Honors Bridge Club, 126 East 49th Street (new location!)
You can sign up individually, with a partner, or as a group of three amateurs. If you already have a pro in mind, you’re welcome to form your own complete team. Otherwise, we’ll help put teams together and find volunteer pros.
Interested in playing? Email proam@gnyba.org with your name, ACBL number, approximate masterpoints, and any teammates you’d like to play with.
