This Saturday is a good warm-up weekend for next week's Silver Linings week, starting on Monday. All games next week will pay silver points -- required for several ACBL rank changes. Saturday events: * 9:30 a.m. 15-minute bridge mini lesson (See below) * 10:00 a.m. 0-500 Pairs * 12:20 p.m. Newcomer pairs (separate email to the newcomer list) * 12:30 p.m. Open Pairs (with extra masterpoint credit) As always, friendly partners are often available at the Partnership Desk. If you're the only one left, I can always get you into the game with someone from the standby substitutes list on BBO. At 9:30 tomorrow I continue my Saturday morning mini lessons with more on second hand play on defense.
