Hao Ge rules. The pasha of master points from Bay Village, Ohio, was in the house for the big finale at the Buffalo Spooktacular Regional Tournament – the Sunday Swiss teams extravaganza – and he triumphed. As a member of the winning Swiss team he added 23.10 points to his total and wound up with 72.92 for the tournament. As I recall (ACBL website being currently unavailable), he was part of a team of Asian players from the Cleveland area. Maybe his photo will show up in the Bridge Bulletin at year’s end.
At any rate, there aren’t any Buffalo area names on the winners’ list until you get down to 17th place. The often indomitable Christine Urbanek leads the local contingent with 45.23 points. She was a member of the second-place Swiss team.
In all, more than 600 players got points in the regional. My tally of 6.97 put me slightly above midpoint in the pack – 247th place.
