Silver points, double points, this week! I only have a few pairs signed up for the Wednesday 11:00 game, but I'm sure I missed a few. Let me know if you're planning to play.

Tonight I'll be hosting our weekly newcomer game (0-20) at 7:15. For those games I have a need for as many as three standby players to help fill seats.  Last week I had some generous standbys on hand, and ended up with an even six tables from the new players. I couldn't put any of my volunteers to work!

It's valuable to have volunteers to help fill these seats. I can't reasonably call on players from the substitute roster on BBO. And if I fill a table with two experienced volunteers, they're going to have their scores averaged down -- BBO doesn't yet have any means to mark a pair as "ineligible" for awards.

But it's still rewarding to come hang out with the newer players. There's no teaching at the table, only patience and encouragement allowed, and a joyful attitude required. If you're willing to pitch in, knowing I might not need you, please drop me a note and include your BBO ID.

Two extra games for non-Life Masters (0-500) tomorrow, just for Silver Linings week. Let me know if you plan to play! 11:00 a.m. and 7:15 p.m.

Here's the roster for today's Open Pairs at 11:00 so far:
