"All about Sectional Tournaments" is the
title of a new article on the web site. I go
into some of the interesting history around
Sectionals, and the always-present tug of war
between interested parties.
Read my article here.
Clearly I've had lots of time on my hands to
write and work on things. Lots of love and
thanks to Paula, Zachary, and Lisa who have been
doing a fantastic job running games and classes
while I've been holed up.
I expect to be back in the club eager to go on
Wednesday morning for the first STaC game.
New Thursday Open Pairs
Starting September 7 (happy birthday
Jane!) we'll be holding a second Open Pairs game
at 11:00 AM.
Join us for the game on Sept. 7 or 14 and we'll
have a pizza party as well! I'll bring in pizzas
from Blaze downstairs, and we'll take an extra
break at about noon.
STaC Games
Three (really four) special silver point games
this week:
- Wednesday 11:00 AM Open Pairs
- Thursday 11:00 AM Open Pairs (Special Game)
- Saturday 1:00 PM 0-750 Pairs
And thanks to tropical depression (once
hurricane) Hilary, there's one more STaC game
sponsored by the Unit at the Arcadia Bridge
Center on Sunday, Aug. 27, at 12:30 PM.
Reservations for any game on RSVP or here.
Districts 21, 22, and 23 are included in this
