25 September 2024, Fun game! Exactly 3 months until the Christmas Holiday. It was cool and overcast! We played 5.5 tables 8 rounds and 21 boards with 1 sit out and missing 3 hands. The top 5-6 pairs kept bumping each other off the top (Hey this is not bumper cars! It's bridge) You all did well. Sid brought the paper cups and Susanne brought the grapes!

The top pair for today was Susanne and Paul, followed closely by Jan and Jane then Jill and Janet, Bill and Jack. Sid and Bobbie almost caught up! Hopefully you all had a good time!

Another ACBL rule that you are not familiar with is that all of you should play in tempo. That means no hesitation when someone puts a card down. Just play. It also means don't play too quickly (which I have a tendency to do). Play in tempo! Another ACBL regulation for our mini lesson! The intent is not to let the declarer have any idea (or to perhaps fool them) where the high card in a finesse!

Hope you all had a good day and see you next week!
