 Allison Ochsner 

Allison Ochsner…if you are lucky you know her!  

And Clear Lake Bridge Club is DARN LUCKY to have her as a member!!

Allison is another of our extremely valuable behind-the-scenes contributors to the success of CLBC.  If you don’t know, here are some of the ways Allison keeps us humming along~

• Keeps our computer hardware current, integrated and working
• Maintains our computer security  
• Maintains our ACBLScor database for scoring and masterpoint allocation purposes
• When we need Member information on Advancements, Allison helps track down the history.
• Notifies the Unit Board various CLBC announcements (significant birthdays and member deaths) 

Furthermore, Allison has been a long-time contributor to Unit 174 for the benefit of ALL Houstonians!

• Allison is the webmaster for www.acblunit174.org
• She works with the Unit Board to post the various features… advising and editing along the way.
• Keeps the website updated with the latest Tournament Flyers

Allison is a model of what it means to be a good member of our bridge community.  She is a pleasure at the bridge table, mentors a newer player most Sundays and helps our club and Unit function effectively.

We all love that we have a nice club, good tournaments and a thriving Houston bridge world ~ and that does not happen without volunteers who contribute…

Allison steps us and “gives back”! 

THANK  YOU  ALLISON!

Eight is Enough Team Game!

 Get your Teams together using the below format

All players are assigned a number 1, 2, or 3 depending on their masterpoint level:

Level 1  

       Players with less than 750 mps

Level 2  

       Players with 750 to 2000 mps

Level 3  

       Players with over 2000 mps

• No team can have more than 8 points for members on their team.
• If two players are designated as ‘3,’ both of their teammates would have to be designated a ‘1’ to keep the total below eight.
• A '1' and a '3' could play with two '2s'.
• Or four players who are all ‘2’ could be on the same team.
• It's okay for a team to total less than eight, but not more.

Mentor-Mentee Games
