Bridge Blog 495: Wait'll next year

          Good as their word, the ACBL has posted the year-end master point race results online by the sixth of the month. Let’s take a look at the 1000 to 2500 point categories.
          Ace of Clubs (points earned in club play only). I’m sixth on the Unit 116 (Buffalo) Top 10 list with a 2011 total of 146.50. Top is Mike Kisiel with 237.51, followed by John Ziemer (191.44), Liz Clark (183.27), Carlton Stone (165.55) and Vince Pesce (150.08). Rounding out the list are Carolyn Siracuse (128.42), Judy Padgug (121.71), Paul Libby (113.90) and Jim Gullo (108.34). On the District 5 level (Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh), I’m ninth. Kisiel is still first, leading snowbird Francine Feldman of Boca Raton, Fla., who has 195.39. On the national level, I missed the Top 100 by a mile. I’d need at least 176.82 points to tie for the bottom rung.
          Mini-McKenney (all points everywhere). I’m seventh among Unit 116 players with 191.45 overall. Leader is Dian Petrov with 343.35, followed by John Ziemer (275.16), Mike Kisiel (251.62), Judy Padgug (241.73), Carlton Stone (196.63) and Liz Clark (196.41). Behind me are Vince Pesce (166.89), Kathy Pollock (153.56) and Mike Ryan (149.46). I fall just short of making the Top 25 on the District 5 list. One more point and I would have nudged out Gary Montain of Westlake, Ohio, who had 192.44. Top of the list, of course, is Hao Ge of Bay Village, Ohio, with 642.81. Dian Petrov is second. John Ziemer is eighth. Kisiel is 11th. I’m far from making this Top 100 nationally, where the entry point is 337.99. Leader continues to be Geeske Joel of Palo Alto, Calif., with 969.52. Newly arrived in second place is another Californian, Crispin Barrere of Berkeley, with 739.19. Hao Ge is seventh. Dian Petrov is 92nd.
