We had 6 full tables and played a Mitchell with a skip after round 3. We welcomed Dave and Zelda back after a prolonged vacation. With the Mitchell movement we played 5 hands in each of 5 rounds. This speeds up the game since we do not spend so much time moving. A drawback is that we do not get to play all the other people! When there are an even number of tables we skip a table half way through so EW does not play the same hands twice! With an odd number of tables No Skip. Any sit out in this movement is Long, l o n g, l o n g! With this type of movement there are winners in both N-S and E-W. for this reason, if this were an sanctioned ACBL game we would not get as many master points.
You all played valiantly and are all winners! I hope you had a good time! The people who came in at the top in NS were 3 way tied at 58.5%, Dave, Penny, Sid, Bobbie, Jill and Janet! But Jack pointed out that it was also a 3 way tie for 3rd place! The top scorers in EW are Jan and Jane with 57.5% followed closely by the Moores with a 55%! with only 3 hands remaining Colleen and Mary Lynn were first in EW. Surprising how 3 hands can move things around
Congratulations to you all!
See you next week!
