Dear Club Manager/Owner,

As part of our mandate to promote bridge across Canada, the Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF) is pleased to launch a new initiative for newer players (0–499 masterpoints). This program is designed to help players become comfortable with IMP scoring and gain experience with team-style bridge in a friendly, supportive environment. Games will be played on RealBridge, which provides a face-to-face club-like experience through live video and audio.

Right after each game, players will have an opportunity to join a live discussion with a Canadian expert, who will answer questions and review the hands that were just played.

Membership in the CBF is not required.  These are the details:

• Who? any Canadian player with fewer than 499 MPs
• What? 14 Boards, followed by expert Q&A session
• Where? RealBridge – all participants need to set up a RealBridge account and deposit Canadian funds
• When? Tuesday evenings at 8pm ET, January 20th to March 10th (8 sessions)
• Cost? C$6.00 per session.
• How? Register as an individual at cbf.ca. Join any IMP Pairs game with any partner of your choice.
• Practice opportunities: Fridays 7:00 ET 0-499 Maple Leaf game on RealBridge (Jan 2, 9, 16)

We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with your members by posting or emailing one of the printable flyers below.

Thank you very much for your support.

Yours sincerely,
Shelley Burns
CBF President
