Here comes another exciting week of regional tournament play to Rochester - as we get the cards and tables out for a week in September.  This year, the Med City Regional is happening Monday to Saturday, September 14th to the 20th.  Once again we'll feature our tournament play at the Empire Event Center in Rochester, which is connected right to the host hotel (the Best Western Apache Mall).

This year's tournament schedule will feature something for everyone, with Open Pairs, Gold Rush Pairs, and Bracketed Teams available on each day of the tournament.  You can click on the official flyer to your right - which enlarges it and opens it in a new window - to view or print.  Then get your partnerships together and plan your post-Labor Day week to include some bridge (and FUN) in Rochester. 		      
       You won't find a better example of Midwestern hospitality at the Med City Regional.  Our hospitality desk features prizes for those who finish first in their events; we've got convention card stickers (if you collect those); player labels available (so you don't have to write your name on event slips each time); coffee cups for the winners, and more.  In the playing area, we will have lots of coffee and of course water available, with some lunches in between session for purchase.  And if your morning hands discussion is to be taken off-site - there are (literally) dozens of conveniently located eateries within 10 minutes of the playing area.  The map to the left shows the Empire Event Center, along with lots of eateries (so you can make your plans now and in advance!).  Click on the image to the left to enlarge it in a new window.
