Alexandrina Results for 6 November 2019

This session starts the Semi-Annual Competition for Our Founders Green Velvet Table Cover. The Cover is currently held by Garry and Pieter so we have not seen it for six months. In looking back through the blog to see just how interesting it is beyond the results, I have discovered that  the May Founders GVC results were not posted so they appear close the end of this week's entry.

All sessions this month will be for red Masterpoints. Players need red and/or gold  Masterpoints for rank promotions beyond Regional. For example Pat (with 28.82 red points) and John (29.72) both rank at State but Norman with more Masterpoints ranks at Regional with 16.05 red points. For State rank a player needs 50 total Masterpoints of which at least 25 are red.

May Founder's GVC Competetion Results:



This blog serves the purpose of a permanent easily accessible record of what happens in the ACBC and also anything the Blogger does that impinges on ACBC.  These impinging personal things usually appear here at the end. Very few people even casually look at the blog (Blogspot bloggers are shown the number of sightings and commenters in their interface) or ever get to the bottom of an entry. Now, given that since my retirement from actual income generating work during the GFC,  Contract Bridge has become the thing that satisfies my need to feel like I'm relevant and it will probably keep going as long as I do.

Alexandrina Results for 30 October 2019

This day we had five and a half tables and when this happens we use a table movement we call "6T 10R Switching Rover for Five and a Half Tables (10 Rnds of 3 Brds)". The Rover Pair first bumps NS for three boards and then switches and bumps EW at the same table for three boards. Meanwhile, the rest of the room plays a six board round. Everyone except the Rover Pair has a 3 board sit-out.

The Scorer was on a road trip to avoid any sort of fuss occurring over a particular event (not successfully). He left with a gross and burgeoning sore on his bottom lip, quickly developed a pinched nerve in his back and set his knees complaining about too much walking in the wrong shoes. So after adding two more art gallery/museums to a long list of  closed venues to which he has traveled (see pic below and cf with LeicesterG's other blog), he elected to toss in the towel.  He returned to his lair did nothing for the best part of a week other than watch sport on television and read his book.
