Wednesday Open Game 25 March 2026

Today we ran a 7-1/2 table Howell movement.  This is the first Howell movement we have run in a long time. Everyone moved around smoothly. Thank you!

Congratulations to Mary/David for their bid 73% game win today!  Lisa/Barbara were first in the B strat and Mary/Michael were first in the C strat.  Patti/Bob also placed in the C strat earning Bob his first ACBL points! 

I do like Howell games because they seem to award points to more players - 8 teams earned points and 6 teams did not earn points.

We had the first "Carl" lesson in 2026, opening and responding to one of a minor.  Interest was expressed in learning 2/1 rather than standard American, and it was put to a vote of the 12 students attending and more voted for it than against, so we will start 2/1 next week and it affects the lesson reponding to 1 of a major.  See you next week for the lesson.

We had three tables in the pupil game and played 5 rounds of 4 boards, although some had to leave early and received No Plays in the last round.  The winners today with 62.5% were Elizabeth and Dianne!  Second place went to Wynne and Betty 57.99%.  Congratulations!

See you next week with a brand new lesson!----Carl
