What is the program?
We feel that 99’ers deserve a nice place to play. Initially, the game was launched in mid-July 2020, with the addition of sessions in 2022 for 199’ers, as well.

When are games offered?
99’er games start at 7:00pm EST (Monday- Sunday), 199’er games at 7:05pm EST every evening.  Players who are late registering for the 7:00pm game are welcome at 7:05pm. All games are stratified.

What are the table fees?
The entry fee per game is usually $6.00 but may be raised for special ACBL games to cover the extra sanction fees. Special games are announced in advance.

How many boards are played and how long is the session?
Usually, the game has 12 boards allowing eight minutes per board for 99’ers and 7 minutes per board for 199’ers. Please note if all tables are finished early, players move on to the next round.

What other offerings comprise the program?
Lynn Berg posts a mini lesson on Lynn’s Corner four mornings a week (Monday-Thursday). This is followed up with a 20-minute Zoom lesson on the same topic in the evening at 6:30pm Monday-Thursday.  Players may contact Lynn to suggest topics to be covered or hands they would like analyzed, either through Chat on BBO or by email lynn7ntxx@icloud.com.

Who can play?
99’ers and 199’ers whose clubs within the participating districts have enrolled.  Also, new ACBL members who are not affiliated with any club. Only players with ACBL numbers are permitted to play in limited games.
