Gimme a corporate sponsor and a few hours of lessons, and I'll go to any tournament you want me to bring the average age down in...

Copy that. Corporate sponsorship. Thats my preferred method. I shall speak to my bosses, see how much my parent company is prepared to pay to have me wear a tshirt.

And hey, I'm only 33.

Aside: I used to play bridge when I was younger, played at a pretty high level too. A regular tournament I used to attend probably had an average age of about 65. I swear every single time I sat down with my partner at the next table, the first thing said to me was "Its so nice to see young players playing bridge". Same conversation all the time. It made it more pleasant to kick their a-ged behinds frequently. Tedious as hell though, and to be honest, a little off-putting after hearing it for the 20th time in a night.
