Thursday 20 March 2025 ACBL Game

 Hello  All,                     Thursday 20 March 2025 ACBL game

Apparently this was a "GLITTER GAME"  so instead of getting all those black points, because Skip wanted this to ge a Glitter game (I guess this is special!).  ACBL has given 33% gold points and 67% black points at the expense of Fewer points!   This was done by ACBL at their headquarters.  I am not able to post Gold points. 

 There is no change in ranking.  Just you traded your black points for gold points and  got some fewer points.  Look at the ACBL website to ascertain they outcome.

We had a nine table Mitchell movement playing 3 hands a round.   We had a person come play with us we have not seen in years Welcome Back Jerry Poirier!  There were winners in both N-S and EW directions.  N-S and OVERALL Winners were Darrell and Brent!  Followed by Carl and Claudia in NS direction.  Then Ellen and Nancy in EW were 3rd overall!  followed by a 2 way tie between George and Louise and John and Nancy!  You all did very well!  Thank you for coming to N. Hampton,  Sorry about the low light, and the confusion.  I want to thank Carol for helping me pass out the bridgemates (I kept them back until I was sure how many tables, Jimmy D for sitting in for 3 hands until I got all names and numbers in and Sharon K for helping and also Nancy B.  I was a nervous wreck after driving to MGH in Brookline a few times this week in a new car!  Thank you all for being so understanding!   Note that hands 24, 25, and 26, were the "yellow" boards while the rest of the boards were blue.  The yellow boards may be out of order since I had to type them in and I typed 25 in 4 times, before it took.

You all did very well.  the NE means that one of the partners in the team is not eligible for points UNLESS they sign up as an ACBL Member.  They have a certain period of time to do so, and that will allow their partner to get any points he/she deserves. 

Thank you all for coming to our Beautiful Centennial Hall!

Next week we will continue with normal lessons at 11 am given by Skip Page.
