Considering that I spent only a day and a half at the
tables, not the worst tournament for me, personally. Scraps of red points, to
be sure, but at least it wasn’t a shutout, like that year in Niagara Falls. 1.75.
Tied for 307th with Pat Kilbury and Jeff Oshlag.
My
teammates played more, did better. Partner Ruth Wurster connected for 3.60
points. Joe Rooney got 3.15. Dotty May had 3.40.
Tournament
champions were a couple pros we’ve seen here before – Jonathan Steinberg of
Toronto and young Alex Hudson of Raleigh, N.C. 91.28 points, the both of them. They
got 38.17 of their points by winning the Friday-Saturday knock-outs and another
15.40 by winning the Sunday Swiss team game.
Runners-up
were perennial favorites from Ohio – Stephanie and Robert Alexander from
Mentor, both with 66.54. Then an Ohio foursome tied for fifth with 64.01 points
– Phillip Becker, Fleur Howard and Hope and Brian Ellis.
Buffalo
players started showing up just outside the Top 10. Saleh Fetouh was 11th with
55.85. Glenn Milgrim, whose name showed up in Frank
Stewart’s syndicated bridge column in The News during the tournament, was
12th with 53.47. Jay Costello was 14th with 51.26 and Jay Levy was 15th with
48.17. Of people I play against regularly, best was Linda Burroughsford, 20th
with 42.32.
It seemed
like attendance was light at this regional. Really light. In all, there were
597 tables – 34 of them in the Sunday Swiss team finale. 380 players got points.
Let’s look
back at previous years:
2018 – 678
tables, 40 for Sunday Swiss, 475 players got points. I got 7.92.
2017 – 628
tables, 41 for Sunday Swiss, 431 players got points. I got 16.68.
2016 – 718
tables, 43 for Sunday Swiss. 522 players got points. I got 15.66.
2015 – (first
at the Adam’s Mark) 699 tables, 41 for Sunday Swiss. 487 players got points. I got
5.38.
2014 – (at
the Hamburg Fairgrounds). 671 tables, 45 for Sunday Swiss. 476 players got
points. I got 9.77.
2013 – (June
tournament, the last at the Grand Island Holiday Inn). 886 tables, 48 for
Sunday Swiss. 563 players got points. I got 4.59.
2012 – (Grand
Island). 1,092 tables, 67 for Sunday Swiss. 705 players got points. I got
12.12.
2011 – (Grand
Island). 918 tables, 56 for Sunday Swiss. 604 players got points. I got 6.97.
2010 – (Grand
Island). 1,021 tables, 62 for Sunday Swiss. 709 players got points. I got 7.59.
2009 – (Grand
Island). 1,047 tables. 62 for Sunday Swiss. 746 players got points. I got 4.15.
Meanwhile, now that it's the Buffalo Grand, it seemed like the hotel formerly known as
the Adam’s Mark is more run-down than ever. The
millions in new investment haven’t kicked in yet. As they used to say in Brooklyn
–wait’ll next year.
