Bridge Blog 1112-B: Short STaC

I always hope for that big game in the upper 60% range to bring home a ton of silver points in the STaC (Sectional Tournament at the Clubs), but it didn’t happen this week. However, there were fractional points to collect after some of the 10 games I played. Here’s how it went:

Monday morning with Dotty May: 52.50%. Third North-South, first in the B strat. 0.98 of a point.

Monday afternoon with Dotty May: 54% even. Second North-South, first in the B strat. 0.99 of a point.

Tuesday morning with Joyce Greenspan. 48.33%. Fifth of seven North-Souths. Needed 51.67% to scratch.

Tuesday afternoon with Joyce Greenspan. 48% even. Second East-West in the B strat. 0.74 of a point. Incredibly, it bumps up to 1.28 points on a District level.

Wednesday morning with June Feuerstein. 46.58%. Fourth of five North-Souths. Needed 55.46% to scratch.

Wednesday afternoon with June Feuerstein. 47.38%. Fourth of five North-Souths again. Needed only 48.90% to scratch.

Thursday morning with Barbara Libby. 55.13%. Second East-West. 0.99 of a point.

Thursday afternoon with Marietta Kalman. 55.50%. Tied for first North-South with Judi Marshall and John Ziemer. 1.20 points.

Friday morning with Selina Volpatti. 36.71%. Last in a 9-pair Howell movement. Needed 53.69% to scratch.

Friday afternoon with Selina Volpatti. 55.15%. Second North-South. 0.99 of a point.

So far 6.43 points. Were there more on the district level? Rats! Can’t tell. ACBL website is down right now (noon hour Saturday, Dec. 14) for maintenance.
