Please join us for a pleasant afternoon/evening of competitive party bridge. We use Zoom for audio/video chatting during our games: see the link in the date/time/place sidebar. You may wish use two separate devices for the audio-video and for the bridge play. Kindly provide me your BridgeBase.com username. Then, after you login to BridgeBase.com, go to "Play or Watch Bridge>Casual". From there you can receive the invitation to our table. (BridgeBase doesn't issue invitations unless you are in the right place. (And in case of trouble, it may work to back out and reenter the "Casusal" space.)) If we get more than 4 people, then we'll ask someone to stand up after a few rounds and let others play. Or have more tables! You must know Contract Bridge rules and basic bidding to play. No formal training will be offered, but this is a social, casual event, and bidding advice and meanings will be openly discussed at any player's request. ACBL Yellow Card (http://lexikos.com/yellowcard.htm) is our group-standard bidding system; a novice should please take time to study all basic openings and responses shown above, plus standard Jacoby Transfer (http://www.bridgebum.com/jacoby_transfers.php) and Stayman (http://www.bridgebum.com/stayman.php) responses to NT openings. We will expect a verbal alert on deviations an expert may make to these most-common conventions.

Open to all - we may do this in-person if COVID allows - remote for now.

The Tech Valley Game Space (TVGS) had a monthly social/game night at the Center of Gravity. It's now a weekly virtual event. For the current schedule, see their main page at https://www.meetup.com/TechValleyGameSpace

This is the weekly meeting of the Dallas Scrabble Club, now occurring online at https://woogles.io/club/dallasbedford due to COVID-19 restrictions. Woogles.io is a new web site for players everywhere. We have had great response to playing online at a previous site and have had as many as 16 players show up each week. It makes for a fun diversion for all of us. We play 4 official games on Thursdays. After those 4 games, players are free to play whoever they want on this game site. Each week you plan to attend, I will need to know by 6 pm on Thursday that you are definitely coming, and that you will be onsite by 7 pm that night. That way, I can pair people up in advance to play four games without too much delay in getting set up. If you prefer to play FEWER than four games, please include that info in your response. Please do set up an account on the Woogles site prior to joining the club meetings on Thursday nights and send your player name for Woogles to me so I can set up the games for each expected player. If you would like a practice game on the site, let me know.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE EVENT: "That was an absolute blast! By the end of the event I had already made some new friends. The games were so clever and fun" - Laura D. "It was the best time I've had in a long time. The host did a fantastic job" - David M. After the event, we'll leave the event open for about 15 minutes so you can exchange contact information with anyone else from the event. This is a great opportunity to make new friends. Typically about 65% of the attendees are singles so it's even a chance to possibly meet that special someone! FAQ: If I have friends or family members that don't live with me, can they be put on a team with me? Yes! We'd say about 75% of participants sign up on their own but if you have any friends or family members that want to join, they can too (simply message the host at the beginning of the event and ask to be placed on the same team as them). Each player needs to buy their own ticket. If you have a family member/s that is same household as you, they are welcome to sit next to you and you can play along with you but each device needs to purchase their own ticket.

NOTE: We've had 25-35 people each week at this meetup, but most folks aren't RSVP-ing via Meetup. Around half are from outside MA. Please join us, even if you didn't RSVP. *** The "Natick" group is now meeting via Zoom + OGS (Online Go Server), and includes many people from outside of Massachusetts. Beginners are always welcome. It is great to host people who don't live near enough to other Go players to play in person. The Zoom + OGS experience provides 75% of the in-person experience. During the meetup, you can: • Play friendly games, or watch us play • Play league games. For details about joining the league, see http://massgo.org/league/ • Join a beginners group, or get teaching games • Join a DDK or SDK study group, generally starting at 8:30 • Have your game reviewed, or watch other reviews • Participate in a review of a pro game, starting at 9:30, in "guess the move" format. You can watch the game on Twitch and chat there, or talk to other Go players watching the review on the Zoom. See https://www.twitch.tv/massgo On Tuesday evening, sign in to OGS and go to the Massachusetts Go Association group (various links are posted there), or just join the Zoom. See https://online-go.com/group/45. Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you.

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you!
