 I had a great week
in St. Louis. Sarah and I played for six days.
It was a mix of pair and team events, 298 bridge
hands total for the week! We came home with 25
gold points and some great new and renewed
friendships.
Do you have a guest room that might be
available? I'd love to find someone interested
in hosting Robert Todd for one night on Saturday
evening. I'll buy us dinner. 🙂
Silver point week
One of the requirements for the rank of Life
Master is to earn at least 75 "silver"
masterpoints. Silver points can only be won at
sectional tournaments which are usually hosted
by ACBL bridge units. This week you can win
silver at our club games!
All of our Open Pairs games, Monday through
Friday at 11:00, plus Saturday at 1:00, will be
pooled with other clubs in Los Angeles County
for a Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STaC).
It takes about a day for all of the overall
awards to be compiled. I'll have a link on the
web site for the overall results when they
become available.
Card fees for the STaC games will be $13.
Stratification for the overall awards will be
Open/2500/750.

Robert Todd Seminar
We have a great turnout for Robert Todd's
seminar on Sunday, March 15, but there's still
room for a few more!
it's worthwhile to spend a full day with
Robert's insightful way to think about bridge
hands. I had the pleasure of seeing him as one
of the celebrity speakers at the St. Louis NABC
last week.
The session will begin at 9:00 AM, and we'll be
done at about 3:30 PM. The full day is $90.
- Morning: Responder's Rebids
- Afternoon: Doubles of Many Kinds
