Bridge Blog 430: Swiss miss

          One drawback of not playing weekends (in deference to my other half) is that I’ve been missing the Airport Bridge Club’s Swiss team games on Sundays. I was reminded again last weekend. Free to follow my own pursuits while Monica was in New York visiting her parents, I played the Swiss game and was reminded once again how much fun it is and how lucrative it can be point-wise.

          My team – Marilyn Sultz, Adrian Figliotti and Selina Volpatti – started off terribly, getting shut out in the first round. But we rallied and went on to win five of our seven rounds (withstanding a second shutout) and came in second in the B strat, winning 1.88 points, and bringing my total for the month to 13.88.
