Bridge Blog 1062: Somebody else, not me

STaC Week stacked against me. I played 12 of 13 possible Sectional Tournament at the Clubs matches at the Airport Bridge Club between Dec. 3 and Dec. 9, and emerged with just 2.52 points. Out of 1,051 players who earned points during the week, I was 329th.

Stephanie and Robert Alexander of Mentor, Ohio, were STaC point leaders, tied for first with 41.73. Third was a Buffalo area player, Linda Burroughsford, who showed up a lot at the Airport Club, where there were two games a day. She earned 28.25 points.

Other notables: Alan Greer, 21.81 (eighth); Allen Beroza, 17.33 (14th); John Ziemer, 16.40 (16th); Davis Heussler, 15.78 (17th); Jay Levy, 15.73 (18th); Martha and John Welte, 10.90 (tied for 35th); Mike Ryan, 10.01 (46th); Bob Linn, 9.69 (50th); Liz Clark, 9.39 (56th); and Linda Vassallo and Wilson McClaren, 9.37 (tied for 58th).
