I am new to TV (and PB) and am very interested in playing PB.

Your comments are appreciated, however they raise some concern for me and I would like to better understand from where you offer them. Would you mind offering a little more of your perspective behind them?

Are you currently playing PB here in the Villages? How large is your group?

Have you personally experienced being shut out by the cliquish PB players?

Is there any other way to find people to play PB other than to form your own group(s)?

I had assumed there is some mechanism in place to group players together by skill level. Are you saying it is not based upon some set of objective standards but is based upon a personal or who-you-know decision process?

I have no basis to judge your comments and would appreciate more insight from you before I venture into to the world of TV PB.

Thanks
Don
