Jane and Mojo in St LouisI had a great week in St. Louis. Sarah and I
played for six days. It was a mix of pair and team events, 298 bridge
hands total for the week! We came home with 25 gold points and some
great new and renewed friendships.
*Do you have a guest room* that might be available? I'd love to find
someone interested in hosting Robert Todd for one night on Saturday
evening. I'll buy us dinner. 🙂
Silver point week
One of the requirements for the rank of Life Master is to earn at least
75 "silver" masterpoints. Silver points can only be won at sectional
tournaments which are usually hosted by ACBL bridge units. This week you
can win silver at our club games!
All of our Open Pairs games, Monday through Friday at 11:00, plus
Saturday at 1:00, will be pooled with other clubs in Los Angeles County
for a Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STaC).
It takes about a day for all of the overall awards to be compiled. I'll
have a link on the web site for the overall results when they become
available.
Card fees for the STaC games will be $13. Stratification for the overall
awards will be Open/2500/750.
Robert Todd

Intermediate program at the 2026 Spring NABC in St. Louis./
Robert Todd Seminar
We have a great turnout for Robert Todd's seminar on Sunday, March 15,
but there's still room for a few more!
it's worthwhile to spend a full day with Robert's insightful way to
think about bridge hands. I had the pleasure of seeing him as one of the
celebrity speakers at the St. Louis NABC last week.
The session will begin at 9:00 AM, and we'll be done at about 3:30 PM.
The full day is $90.
* Morning: Responder's Rebids
* Afternoon: Doubles of Many Kinds

Thursday evenings starting April 2. Here is the link to register
