<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">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:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Mentor/Mentee Game!</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Date</b>: Sunday August 29<br>
<b>Location</b>: Seattle Bridge Center<br>
<b>Director:</b> Nick Tipton<br>
<b>Length of game</b>: 18 boards<br>
<b>Start Time:</b> 11:00 doors open, players meet, talk card and eat snacks
provided by the Unit<br>
<b>Game time</b>: noon to about 3:00 (hopefully done about 2:30, and then time
to discuss hands)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Publicity</b>: 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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>“Conditions of pairs</b>: W<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">e are
going to use the same format to pair individuals randomly. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">-Each pairing should include one
NLM.<br>
- Players that were partners for the last Mentor/Mentee game and both want to
be paired up again can be.</span><br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">- Any other pairs can sign up as a pair if they
choose, but one of them must be an NLM.</span><br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">- 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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">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.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Cost of the game for players</b>: 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…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>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.</b></p>
