The Unit 503 Non-Life Master Sectional is fast approaching, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, 2022. The Unit 503 Board has temporarily suspended face-to-face play at the Palo Alto Bridge Center until February 14th. On that day, the Board will decide whether to hold the NLM Sectional on the scheduled dates.

If you have not already signed up, we urge you to do so soon. We have several tables filled and would love to see more of you join us. Selected players will receive a gift— sign up by February 11th to be included in the lottery. This face-to-face NLM Sectional (for non-life master players with less than 750 masterpoints) is scheduled to take place at the Palo Alto Bridge Club located at 432 Stierlin Rd., Mountain View, CA 94043.  Phone (650) 940-1824.

Two sessions of Stratified Pairs will start at 9:30am and 2:00pm on Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20. A special newcomer section will be offered Saturday morning to players with less than 5 masterpoints.  All events award Silver Points. 

All players will need to be vaccinated and those eligible will need to be boosted. All players will be required to wear masks in the Bridge Center. Please note that we will not be serving food at the Sectional and we will not be offering bagged lunches. There is a water fountain and a cold drink vending machine. You can bring coffee/tea in your own thermos or mug. There are several sandwich spots close by. There will be plenty of time between events to purchase and eat your lunch.
