MPLS Grand Slam Club Knock-Outs

The Minneapolis Grand Slam Club has been in existence since 1937.  As the city's oldest club and the place where many elite champions have cut their teeth, it is a super place to compete and improve your game.  The MGSC goes into hibernation for the summer.  But - it's back in force now. 

You need not be a member of the Club to play in its games - but there are benefits to joining.  One of them is getting four free games with a membership.  The first of the four is tonight at 7:15 at the Richfield Community Center at Nicollet & 70th.

Another very fun event is their knock-out teams.  Games are scheduled either at the Twin City Bridge Center or people's homes.  It is a "double elimination" event - ergo, you can afford one loss and still win the event!  Again, you need not be an MGSC member to compete.  If you do wish to play in this excellent event, however, you must find and register your team by September 30th.  Julie Tigges, coordinator, has more details.

The deadline for the Grand Slam Knock Outs is next Friday, September 30. That evening, we will draw the first round match-ups and the competition will begin.

As with most bridge events, the KOs are more fun with more participants. So, if you are getting a team together, get it done and get it registered. You may register online at http://grandslammn.org/specialEvents/KOTeams.php, or you may contact me and I will register your team.

If you need help completing your team, or you are uncertain how to participate, please contact me and I'll help. My email is jj2@pro-ns.net and my phone # is 612 201 4473.

 

This event is a great opportunity to compete against our Grand Slam national champs (national champs - you are participating aren't you??) and other excellent players. The competition is double elimination, the entry fee is our standard $5/head and you arrange to play at your mutual conveniences.

See you at the table!
