Larry - you'll need to update the schedule of entry fees for directors for the May KO, and Patti/Ann - be aware for the Spring NLM, as these two will be our first tournaments under the new structure.

> Member number now required at tournaments
> A new rule for tournaments will be applied beginning March 1: players must now provide an ACBL member number to play in any tournament event. Therefore, non-members must join ACBL before playing. However, a full-year membership is not required with the introduction of temporary memberships (see below).
> Members whose membership has expired are still required to pay $4 more per tournament session - this requirement is not new and has not changed. If it is a charity event, a 0-20 game, or player has a current membership with ABA, there is no surcharge.
> Players without an ACBL member number may still play in sanctioned clubs.
>  
> Introducing temporary memberships
> Players at the tournament don't need to commit to a full year of membership to play. With the new temporary membership option, they will receive the benefits of membership for one month - including a member number.
> Temporary memberships are just $7.99 (Can$9.95), which is about the same or less than the amount they would previously have paid for two sessions as a non-member. Players can sign up for a temporary membership onlineor via the New Membership Application forms that Tournament Directors will have with them.
> Those who sign up a temporary membership will benefit, too. They will receive $5 for each initial temporary membership they enroll and, when the temporary member renews for a  one-year or three-year membership, they'll also get the current recruitment incentives.
> Temporary memberships are only available to players who never had a full-year membership before. At the end of the month, temporary members may renew the temporary membership or upgrade to a one-year or three-year membership. If a temporary member renews for a full-year membership before their temporary membership expires, they get a $7.99 (Can$9.95) discount (online renewals only).
> Once you've signed up a temporary member, we'll reach out to them. We want to include them in our bridge community and show them how being a member can enhance their bridge experience.
> Please check the FAQ here. If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact Member Services at 1-800-264-2743 or membership at acbl.org.

> Other membership plan changes
> New members can now test-drive ACBL for one or several months before committing to a full-year membership plan. Therefore, we are eliminating the discounted new-member option. Also, due to low demand, we are eliminating the two-year membership. As of March 1, here is a list of ACBL membership plans available:
