This past week we had lots of big games, and I
think we showed well as a club playing in the
Western Conference Royal STaC.
With potentially 100 or more tables being
merged together to calculate awards, the awards
for doing well can be very large indeed.
Here are the stand-outs:
- Monday morning (95 tables) Fredy and Lulu
Minter picked up 11.72 points. Richard
Halverstadt and Joan Mesias took home 10.16
- Thursday morning (44 tables) Sandra Rucker
and Dennis Demain 4.51
- Saturday afternoon (70 tables) Dominique
Moore and Robert Shore taking first
overall for 14.05 points
On ACBL Live for Clubs, the awards only show as
silver at the moment. They'll be going back
through the games and changing them all to 25%
black, 25% red, 25% silver, and 25% gold. That's
how they should appear on the back of your
monthly bulletin.
Try the Bridgemate App
I'll be honest, when I'm playing in a game, and
I look at the app to see how I'm doing, I
usually regret doing so -- regardless of the
news.
Still, if it's something you'd like to try,
it's there! It can be a little buggy. I'm not
sure it's been worked on for quite a while, but
when it works it's fun.

If you'd like to try it and need help, let me

Classes this coming week
Individual classes are available to join for
$25. No need to sign up for a full course. There
are some good ones this week!
Here are the topics this week:
- Wednesday (4/24), 7:00 PM, class 1
of 6 Introduction to Declarer Play "Sure
tricks, establishing tricks"
- Thursday (4/25), 7:00 PM, class 1 of
6 Two Over One Game Force
"Introduction"
- Saturday (4/26), 9:30 AM, class 1 of 6 Bridge
Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding "Opening
Preemptive Bids"
Coming up ...
This week is all normal club games at the
bridge club, but next week we're declaring "Club
Championship Week." Every game will pay
masterpoint awards equivalent to a Unit Game,
with overalls as well as section awards. If that
sounds like gibberish, don't worry about it!
Just know that point awards will be much higher
than a regular club game.
The ACBL let's clubs do this a few times a
year, and the best part is that it doesn't cost
any extra. So it's still the $10 card fee.
May 20-25 all Club Championships.
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary
