Michael and I were all discussing this in
person last night, and at least for this
event, our new proposal is to make this event
free as a thank you to our players. The game
should cost us less than $500 between sanction
fees and facility/director fees and
essentially agree that charging mentors would
be a disincentive. We've also taken in
membership fees for the last 2 years, and
clearly haven't had as many events as a normal
year.</div>

<div class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal">Regarding
what to charge, I'm fine with your
idea of free for 0-20MPs and $7 per
player for everyone else. We should
also make note in the publicity that
the unit is subsidizing the cost of
the event so that there's no
confusion given what normal player
fees are. (We don't want to
unintentionally give folks the
impression that live bridge can be
that cheap without a subsidy while
clubs are trying to get back on
their feet.)</div>

<div

Unit Board</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;">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:</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"><b>Mentor/Mentee
Game!</b></div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"><b>Date</b>:
Sunday August 29<br clear="none">
<b>Location</b>: Seattle Bridge
Center<br clear="none">
<b>Director:</b> Nick Tipton<br
clear="none">
<b>Length of game</b>: 18 boards<br
clear="none">
<b>Start Time:</b> 11:00 doors
open, players meet, talk card
and eat snacks provided by the
Unit<br clear="none">
<b>Game time</b>: noon to about
3:00 (hopefully done about 2:30,
and then time to discuss hands)</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"><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.</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"><b>“Conditions
of pairs</b>: We are going to
use the same format to pair
individuals randomly. </div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;">-Each
pairing should include one NLM.<br
clear="none">
- Players that were partners for
the last Mentor/Mentee game and
both want to be paired up again
can be.<br clear="none">
- Any other pairs can sign up as
a pair if they choose, but one
of them must be an NLM.<br
clear="none">
- 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.</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;">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.</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;">Now,
let’s talk money. </div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"><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…</div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"><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></div>
<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;"> </div>

<div
class="yiv5090913684MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%;">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. </div>
