Playing online?
Here's the skinny on BBO games:
When you play in a Virtual Club game, most of the fees go to the hosting club.
Most Virtual Clubs (including our Choose Houston games) welcome visitors...but there is a process. Select the game, select "Details" and chat/type to the Director the BBO Names of you and your partner. As a courtesy do this about 30 minutes before game time.
Virtual Clubs are still offering upgraded point games. Watch for the announcements for these (and others):

"Eight is Enough" is a team game offered one Sunday a month at CLBC. Below are the requirements for the game:
Each player contributes a number of "team points" based on his/her masterpoint holding:
• Strat A players, with over 2000 masterpoints, contribute three (3) team points.
• Strat B players, with 750-2000 masterpoints, contribute two (2) team points.
• Strat C players, wtih less than 750 masterpoints, contribute one (1) team point.
No team may have more than eight (8) team points. Possible team compositions:
• Two A players and two C players (3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8)
• Four B players (2 + 2 +2 +2 = 8)
• Two B players and two C players (2 + 2+ 1 + 1 = 6)
• Any other combination of players such that the team points are less than or equal to eight (8).
MEMBER Game Fees at Clear Lake Bridge Club are $5.00 per player. We hope this fits your budget and you join us frequently!
NON-MEMBER Game Fees are $1.00 extra...so $6.00 per player.
Mentor Mentee Games are a little different:
Mentees: Have you hugged Mentor lately???
We are so fortunate to have the generosity of our many Life Masters who donate their time, talent and patience to helping a newer player master the game of bridge. So we ask our Mentees to cover the cost of their Mentor in our monthly game. Mentees pay $10.00 for their pair each month...and are happy to do it!
