[SBU Board] Proposal for the Upcoming Mentor/Mentee Game

[Ann Romeo]

Hi Unit Board

Scott and I met, per your instructions, to hammer out the details for an
upcoming Unit-sponsored f2f Mentor/Mentee game.  Here is our proposal, for
your consideration:

*Mentor/Mentee Game!*

*Date*: Sunday August 29
*Location*: Seattle Bridge Center
*Director:* Nick Tipton
*Length of game*: 18 boards
*Start Time:* 11:00 doors open, players meet, talk card and eat snacks
provided by the Unit
*Game time*: noon to about 3:00 (hopefully done about 2:30, and then time
to discuss hands)

*Publicity*: There will be a form to register posed on the Unit website.
We will also include this in blasts to the membership and in an article in
the SUN.

*“Conditions of pairs*: We are going to use the same format to pair
individuals randomly.

-Each pairing should include one NLM.
- Players that were partners for the last Mentor/Mentee game and both want
to be paired up again can be.
- Any other pairs can sign up as a pair if they choose, but one of them
must be an NLM.
- Everyone else can sign up as individuals and they will either be a mentor
or mentee based on balancing both sides like we did last time.

Basically, pairs can register in advance or come as singles and will be
paired up by the organizers (Scott and Ann).  Registration form will be
posted at the Unit website.

Now, let’s talk money.

*Cost of the game for players*: We can charge anywhere from ‘free’ to say,
$10/per player.  This is not a money-making event, but is being offered to
help promote bridge to junior players and get folk who normally don’t play
outside of their ‘group’ to meet others.  There are a lot of A players who
don’t know any of the C players…

*We propose that those with under 20 MPs play for free, all others pay a
set amount (say $7.00).  We are open to board ideas as well.*



Budget:

·       Nick as DIC: $100.00

·       Rental of SBC: $100.00

·       Hospitality: $75.00

Nick would like to direct and has set the price of $100 for directing and
$100 for the rental of the space.  Scott and I recommend we engage Nick’s
services and space.


I think this will be a fun event!  Let us know your thoughts/comments/ideas.


Ann and Scott
