When should you be considered a newbie basher?

[Copper]

Does the club have any thoughts on this?

The only personal rule I have is that I only play newbies if they wish to learn, and I can coach them along in the game so they can benefit and get some value out of the experience. I also make sure that my dance card is usually 90% Vets with a high ranking and minimum .500 W/L.

Sometimes I will give a push (draw, or new game with no result on last game) when things go very badly for the new player and they get a bit disenheartened. I find it does wonders for club morale and really does make the newer players feel like they are not just being preyed upon by "wanna be rank pretenders".

Cheers!
