Running behind on the news, but it's all good!
Jane and I had a fun time on Tuesday afternoon
visiting Sony Pictures Studios to see them
record three episodes of Jeopardy!.
I have a player looking to join the Wednesday
or Thursday games who's a Precision player. If
you'd like to offer to play, drop me a note and
I'll hook you up.
Royal STaC This Week
A STaC, of course, is a Sectional Tournament at
Clubs, but most Sectional tournaments pay only
Silver points. The "Royal STaC" is a creation
from the last couple of years in which the final
awards are divided into 25% Black, 25% Red, 25%
Silver, and 25% Gold points.
Participating in the STaC this week are four of
the 25 ACBL districts, all on the west coast.
Clubs from all four districts will be playing
the same hands, and results from the
participating clubs will be combined into
overall results with big awards.
We're having Royal STaC games for "Open Pairs"
on Wednesday and Thursday, and a 0-750 limited
game on Saturday afternoon at 1:00.
(In addition, the Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
Holiday Party on Sunday will be a Royal STaC
game, the final session of the week. If you
don't have a reservation for the holiday party,
get one soon!)
New Year's Eve Bridge is ON
We'll have a special bridge party at 1:00 PM on
December 31. If you have evening plans, there's
still time for bridge!
We'll play a team game in the "Eight is Enough"
format, where teams will be composed of a
combination of new and experienced players.
We'll also serve some food, wine, and cheese
and make a party of it. More later!

Become a Better Bridge Teacher
Bridge needs teachers, and you could be part of
the solution! This is the bridge curriculum and
program that I use at the Pasadena Bridge Club.
Have you ever wondered how you could most
effectively improve your bridge game? This is
it: teach people to play bridge. You
know it's true, right?
Find the details here
and see the flier here.
