Paul Darin Master Series Seminars in 2026
Located downstairs in the Innovation Room
Paul Darin is back with another set of two seminars intended for Intermediate and Advanced Players.
On Saturday, February 7th at 9:30 AM, Paul brings us Advanced Treatments. Opponent’s interference can make partnership communication difficult. Learn how to communicate better with your partner and use the opponents interference against them.
Paul is a Platinum Life Master, professional player and tournament director since 1992. He has been on the Barry Crane Top 500 list since 2012. BCNC is grateful for Paul’s generosity and support of our Club’s mission to further the bridge education to all levels of play.
The cost for EACH seminar is $20. You may sign up for either or both seminars by clicking HERE. Advance payment helps us with headcount and sign in - please pay either at the club (in cash or check to BCNC) OR by Venmo’ing @Suzanne-Lichter OR Zelle to suzanne.lichter@gmail.com.
​
If you see that a BCNC Club Game score has been entered incorrectly on ACBL Live, you may fill out a form at the Club and submit. Please do so ONLY if the change in scoring is likely to result in a change in the master points awarded as this is a time consuming exercise for both volunteers and Directors.
​
Take the time to find out all of the pair information required prior to submission. The Director has a roster, but they are not responsible for contacting opponents.
Requests must be made within 72 hours of the game. Exception: If the game took place on the last day of the month, it is possible we cannot change the score as ACBL requires all changes to be in by the first of the next month. In those instances, you must contact the Director in person that day.

Partnerships
No individual can win a game by himself - Pele
BCNC is extending it's wildly successful "Guaranteed Partnership Program" for the 0-499 Games. You must arrive no later than 8:45 AM to participate.
The volunteers serving as Guaranteed Partners are NOT looking for a permanent partner themselves. If you are in search of a regular partner, we recommend to keep playing and let your wonderful table etiquette and skilled card play do the talking. Many thanks to Sue Linnett for taking over this program from Susan Ahlquist’s capable hands.
Open Game Partnership Requests can still be made by filling out the Contact Us Form below and putting Open Game Partner Request in the subject line. Please include your name and contact information in the body of the text and someone will be in touch with you. These requests must be made more than 24 hours in advance.
