The NVBA Unit game

The NVBA Unit Game

The NVBA has restarted their Thursday night Face-to-Face unit game at the Beth El Hebrew Congregation, 3830 Seminary Road, Alexandria, Virginia. There are new procedures that have been established as follows...

You need to show your COVID vaccination proof at the Beth El entrance.
All players also need to sign the Beth El COVID waiver at the Beth El entrance. Once you do both items, you are all set for future in-person NVBA unit games.
Please bring a mask. The Beth El Mask Policy states masks are optional. However, if any player requests that all wear masks at their table, NVBA asks that the request be honored.
Please bring your credit card. The game fee is $10.00 plus a security fee of $2.00. Working to become a cash-free enterprise, NVBA plans to use Square hardware for processing credit cards to handle the purchase of all entry fees.
The games will start at 7:00PM, but please arrive by 6:55PM! Late arrivals will not be able to enter the building!
NVBA will have a person at the door from 6:15PM until 6:55PM to allow players to enter. The main entrance doors will be locked at all other times, so there is no re-entry.
Beth El is a no smoking campus. Smoking is prohibited inside or out while on Beth El property.

We try to hold 3 sections, but until attendance improves there are now typically only one or two sections. Individual sections may or may not be held based on attendance or due to a special event like a sectional or team game. All games start promptly at 7:00.

A/X - stratified 0-3000 and 3000+
B/C - stratified 0-500 and 500-2000
199er - stratified 0-50, 50-100 and 100-200
