I think the bridge club caught the leading edge
of the most recent COVID wave. Those who
received the most recent booster probably
managed to skip this wave.
It's still worth testing regularly. Los Angeles
hasn't quite crested the curve of cases, but
hopefully we're past the peak at the bridge
club!
Silver Point Week
This week, Monday - Saturday, is a Sectional
Tournament at Clubs. This one is hosted by
Districts 22 (Southern California) and District
23 (Los Angeles County).
Clubs who decide to participate throughout
Southern California will be playing the same
hands and combining their results to make
overall awards. These can be quite large because
they're based on the total number of tables in
play!
Card fees for all STaC games will be $11, which
covers the extra sanction fee added by ACBL.
Sectional Tournament July 27-28
Our local Pasadena San Gabriel bridge unit
(Unit 559) will be taking over the bridge club
at the end of the month, Saturday and Sunday.
They'll be using the main club and the community
room down the hall.
The schedule includes two pairs games each day,
starting at 10:00 and 3:00, with games for Open
Pairs, and games limited to players under 500
masterpoints (499ers).

Classes this coming week
If you didn't sign up for a full course, you're
still welcome to join any individual class for
$25. Nearly all of our classes stand alone
nicely for a one-time visit.
Here are the topics this week:
- Wednesday, 7:00 PM, class 6 of 6
Introduction to Declarer Play "Ruffing
in the short hand"
- Thursday, 7:00 PM, class 6 of 6 Two
Over One Game Force "Practice Hands"
Mojo's pick for this week: If you're a newish
2/1GF player, I'd pick the "practice hands"
session on Thursday evening. Since hands using
2/1GF are not all that common, it's great to
practice several in concentration.
Coming up ...
Saturday morning early Jane and I are flying to
Toronto. We're early for the nationals -- each
summer that's when the American Bridge Teachers
Association holds it's annual convention. It's
great to spend time with other bridge teachers,
and I hope to get in a few games at the start of
the NABC as well. We'll be back on the 23rd.
The next Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction
is open for enrollment on
the PCC Extension web site. The class will
meet on six Thursday evenings starting August 1.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
