2016-2017 Pinochle
TRI-V PINOCHLE 2016-2017
Pinochle for the season will start on Saturday, October 15. Pinochle will be played on the third Saturday of the month, unless notified. We will be playing in individual homes.
1. Starting time will be 6:30 p.m., unless notified by the host. The host will collect and keep $3.00 per guest. The host provides cards, ice and snacks. Guests are to bring their own drinks and a dish to share for the evening.2. Each host will receive tallies and schedules. Hosts will number the tallies. All players will draw from the same group of numbered tallies. Your partner may be a man or woman. The number of your tally will coincide with the schedule. The schedule provides information on partners and tables. Each player will play six games. Make sure your name is on the tally. Put your partner’s number on the tally for each round. This is for checking scores, if necessary.
3. Reneges should always be corrected if possible. If unable to correct and the bidding team is guilty, the bidder is set. If unable to correct and the renege is not made by the bidding team, then the bid is automatically made.
4. The prize money will be based on the number of couples playing that evening. $3.00 PRIZE money will be collected from ALL players. Prize money will be distributed at the end of the evening.
5. If a hand is opened, re-bidding is allowed. Bidding ends when three (3) consecutive passes have been made AFTER the last bid. If you pass, you may re-enter the bidding. For example, you may wish to give your partner a meld bid, if he bids after you have already passed.

Marbles Rules
Marbles will be played on the first Saturday of each month beginning in October through March. Each night of Marbles will include three games of Marbles. Each player will pay $3.00 for the night. A season long prize will be awarded for those who would like to participate. To participate you must tell the committee that you are interested and pay the $5.00 fee. The prize money will be distributed to the top 1/3 of players based on points. The points will be for the top five scores for the season as shown below.
Please bring your own beverage. The host may determine if couples should bring appetizers or if other food will be arranged (i.e. everyone chip in for pizza).
Marbles will be played with two teams of three, if there are six players on the board or two teams of two if there are four players on the board. Cards will be drawn to determine on which board a player will be playing. A draw of marbles will determine partners. As an example if there are twelve players at a house six kings and six queens will be spread face down and drawn by the players. The host will determine which table will be the one designated by the king or queen. Once at the correct table one of each color marble will be separated and drawn by the players to determine teams. Red always deals first.
Each game is expected to take approximately one hour to play. It is recommended that play begins early in order to be able to finish at a reasonable time. Kid friendly houses should probably begin early. The normal start time is 6:30 but can be earlier at the host’s option. The host may decide to play on a different day or at an earlier time, however, because of scheduling it would be best to arrange that several weeks prior to allow for schedule conflicts.
Nightly pay out
- Each member of the winning team $1.00
- First individual to get all his/her marbles safely home $1.00
- Second individual to get all his/her marbles safely home $1.00
Any money left will be paid out on most points as follows:
If $9.00 is left If $6.00 is left If $3.00 is left 1st in point $5.00 1st in points $3.00 1st in points $2.00 2nd in points $3.00 2nd in points $2.00 2nd in points $1.00 3rd in points $1.00 3rd in points $1.00 Season long prizes will be based on points as described below.

September President’s Message
My alarm woke me up this morning. For most people that may not seem like a big deal, but having to actually wake up to an alarm at 6 AM after 12 weeks of being woken up by a 7 year old looking for breakfast is a harsh transition back to reality. Welcome to September and back to school.
The final Tri-V events of the summer were held in the last two weeks of August. The men went up north for the final golf weekend where, as usual, nothing much happened. The weather did not cooperate for us, but we were able to get three rounds of golf in. Some groups came in significantly more drenched than others. We all celebrated Jay’s hole in one and his golf league championship. He certainly had a great year of golf. The steak roast was held the following weekend at Rotary park in Livonia. I could not attend, but I assume steak was roasted.
We were all saddened to hear about the passing of both Art Trachsel and Blondie Forsythe. They will be missed by all who were privileged enough to know them.
We will begin our monthly club meetings in September. We will meet on Tuesday, September 13th at Drakeshire Lanes at 6:00. Please try to attend if possible. If you cannot attend, contact one of the officers to let them know you will not be there.

Golf League Updated
This week (8/8) concluded the 2nd half. Dale was the runaway winner, with 2nd place 9 points behind him. Dale joins Gerry as the other half winner, and both will compete with the (2) wild card winners in the final this week (8/15).
The real story was in the wild card race. Mike already had the first spot locked up, but the second spot was a battle between Jay, Steve, and George. None of them had a stong showing, with Jay shooting his worst round of the season, Steve finishing 8th and George 7th. A stroke here or there for either Steve or George could have won it for them, but Jay survived his bad round to take the final wild card spot.
Therefore next week’s championship round will feature Gerry, Dale, Mike, and Jay.
Good luck guys!
