The listings
for the ACBL master point races are screwed up. When I ask for unit or district races, there’s
no category for Ruby Life Masters like myself, just a general 1,000 to 2,500
category, the old Silver Life Master. And then there's no list of leaders. When I go to the nationwide list and ask
for Unit 116, it offers the proper categories, but only lists the top three
players.
Nevertheless, for Ruby Life
Masters (1,500 to 2,500 points) in Unit 116 (Buffalo only), there’s good news
for me in those top three places in the Ace of Clubs competition, which is for
points earned in club play only. My 32.74 points have landed me in first place.
Tied for second and snapping at my heels are Allen Beroza and Mike Silverman,
both of whom have 32.35. In the nationwide scheme of things, I’m 444th among
Ruby Life Masters. Allen and Mike are tied for 469th. What a difference 3/8ths
of a point makes.
In the Mini-McKenney, points
earned everywhere, for Ruby Life Masters, there’s only one Unit 116 name – Davis
Heussler, with 104.44.
Go to District 5 (Buffalo , Cleveland, Pittsburgh )
and there are six names in the Ruby Life Master Ace of Clubs listing – we three
Buffalonians, who are third, fourth and fifth, along with Philip Goulding of Wexford , Pa.
Davis Heussler leads the
Mini-McKenney race on the district level in our division, followed by Philip
Goulding with 93.38; Craig Biddle of Pittsburgh
far behind with 56.82 and Barbara Greenspan of Beechwood , Ohio
So to find out how many
points I’ve won overall this year, a sign-on to MyACBL is necessary. Pain in the ass. OK, there it is –
46.28. And there’s that career total – 2,367.60. Lessee now, to reach Gold Life
Master, I need 132.40. Nine months averaging 15 points a month, that just might
get me there by Christmas.
