Sounds like this could have been handled better. I have no knowledge of "Pokemo", so no idea if a certain skill level is involved
Social clubs should really be open to all
Certain activities require a certain skill level---you can't play pickleball without taking the course and getting rated, likewise, a golf group that plays the champ courses from the black tees probably doesn't want a beginner----it would be no fun for anyone and there is no need to play way above your level. These activities do have groups of all skill levels available.
Same with bridge, sanctioned duplicate games are usually flighted or stratiflighted. I don't know about TV since we haven't played here
BTW, Redwitch, where are the reasonable duplicate games? My wife and I are both ACBL certified teachers, ACBL certified directors and life masters several times over, but haven't played in over 15 years and probably $uck.(We just got tired of the the game being played by litigation rather than skill, especially since my wife will take time to consider a bid on occasion and kept getting hit with law 16B violations) That and the Rita Shugart "Oh $**t" ruling that made it clear that the rules do not apply to the top pros.
