Wed Open Game 28 May 2025

Well it was certainly an exciting game today.  I was really impressed with the quality of play we had.  The B stratification was 500-1200 mps by team average. We played a 6-1/2 Table Howell movement so sit-outs were only 2 boards.  Ruth/Harvey earned the top spot with a fabulous 68%.  The top C stratification point winners were Nancy/John and Lynn/Cate.

Thank you for everyone's efforts to be gracious hosts and friendly guests.  I think we did an excellent job working together even though we are used to playing such different games. I for one have found that I usually think I know what is best, but usually find I am only seeing half of the truth. 

Noise is an issue that I think we can improve on.  We both had 7 tables but the Fun group (Section A) was playing a 4 board Mitchell while the Open group (Section B) played a 2 board Howell.  Therefore the two groups were moving at different times. We will also try partition barriers next week which we hope will reduce the noise.

Thanks again. I hope everyone had a nice time.  There is a 25% Open gold game tomorrow, same time same place.

28 May 2025 - Another Melded Game 14. 5 tables in 2 Sections

 Today 28 May 2025, we attempted to run two sections of duplicate side by side.

The A Group (FUN group) played 2 boards, 6  rounds of 4 boards in a Mitchell Movement, while the B group played 26 in 13 rounds of 26.

Group A's winners in NS were Roger and Connie with a 62%, followed by Jane and Jan with a ~60%, then Rick and Penny ~54%.  In EW direction were  Paul and Susanne 60%, then Margie and Carol~56% followed by  Guil, and Claire  ~52%.

If you would like to see what the "B" section might have done against the same cards,  Please look at their section.  We were playing the same cards.

For Group B see the other post for May 28,

Thank you all for coming,

Sorry about the confusion, we will be discussing how things went.  I personally am exhausted, not really excited, and a bit depressed
