I think we all got a little bit of a surprise
when the ACBL announced that the
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday regular club games
would be colored in silver masterpoints.
(Sunday as well, but we didn't have a Sunday
game.)
This is not a Sectional Tournament at Clubs,
just regular club games. The size of the awards
will be "the usual" for club games, but they'll
show up as silver when they're recorded at the
ACBL.
We had a lovely time hosting Robert Todd on
Sunday. The club looked great and Robert was in
good form. Those who were able to attend came
away with some new understandings.
