The Bridge Mate electronic scoring devices
were a little balky at the start on Friday and didn’t register names of players
on their screens all day. Director Brian Meyer said at the start of the game
that he needed to nip over to Best Buy to pick up something to fix the problem.
They worked fine on Saturday.
Speaking of non-operational, one of the
hands-free soap dispensers in the men’s room was inert all weekend. When I
mentioned it to the maintenance guy on Saturday, he said it needed a battery
and they didn’t have one.
The Bridge Mates weren’t needed Sunday.
The Unit 116 board has decided to permanently abandon their experiment in
pre-dealt hands for the Swiss team game. The caddies are back among us. Shuttling
the cards around were Brian Meyer’s #2 and #3 daughters, who continue to be the
best of caddies – quick and cheerful.
Once again, food trucks dropped by for
lunch, different ones each day Friday and Saturday. Friday brought the Center
Street BBQ Truck from Batavia Buffalo Center Street
Sunday’s lunch was pre-ordered from
Firehouse Subs and was accompanied by copious condiments (good mayonnaise from Duke’s,
which is far superior to the Heinz mayo at Panera’s) and tickets for a free
drink and bag of chips for anyone who comes to their shop and buys a sub. I’ll
do it.
Attendance? There were 24 tables for Swiss
teams last year, only 20 this year. The Friday-Saturday two-session games were
a little bigger, though. No official totals yet, but the overall numbers should be pretty much the same.
