But then again, no disasters, either. Just the new normal. I now have 59.68 points in club play, thanks to another 5.57 accumulated on Bridge Base Online. It sounds slight, but it’s better than September and the best since the new normal arrived last March. Overall, the total for the year is 64.23. And if we could count everything I’ve won on OKBridge, it would be 129.53. So let’s put those in our pocket and head off for the ACBL’s master point races.
Ace of Clubs (Club Play Only). Unit 116
(Just
Looks like no movement on this list of what is now just nine players. Allen Beroza is still first, with 129.25 points, up
12.33 for the month. He’s also still third overall in club play among all
players in the unit.
Still
second is Ken Meier, now with 104.21 points, 19.95 better than a month ago. He’s
climbed to seventh overall, up from tenth.
My 59.68 makes me third and keeps me at
#28 overall. Mike Silverman holds fourth without budging from 50.61 in October.
Overall, he’s #32, down from #29. Fred Yellen is similarly motionless in fifth
place with the same 40.21 he previously had. He’s #45 overall, down from #38.
Art Morth stands pat at 28.48 in sixth
place, dropping to #66 overall from #61. Bill Rushmore added 1.29 points to
reach 19.38. Still seventh, he’s #88 overall, down from #83. Motionless at
18.09 is John Sinclair, eighth on this list, #94 overall, down from #86.
Chongmin Zhang having disappeared from
this division, Pat Rasmus occupies ninth place, the lowest rung on the ladder. But
she’s playing again at the Bridge Club of East Aurora and earning points – 1.45
of them in October. She now has 4.24. She’s #241 overall, up from #254.
John and Martha Welte keep piling up the
points. They collected another 79.37 of them in October, padding their
insurmountable lead. They now have 416.07.
Gold Life Master leader Allen Beroza is
next with 129.25. Coming up fast behind him is NABC Master Jim Lanzo with
121.47, catching 18.14 points in October to advance to fourth from fifth. He
passed Bud Seidenberg, who has 116.63, winning 10.01 points for the month.
Sixth is Saleh Fetouh with 104.51, 11.62
points better than a month ago, which propelled him past Alan Greer, who has
the same 100.85 he’s had since March and now is tenth.
Also passing Alan Greer is Ken Meier,
seventh with 104.21. Vic Bergsten jumps from #11 to eighth with 103.28 after a
27.01 point month. Barbara Libby maintains her hold on ninth with 102.53,
having added 18.13.
Next in line to pass Alan Greer are Gay
Simpson with 97.03, Larry Himelein with 93.48 and Sandi
Mini-McKenney (Club points plus
tournament points). Unit 116. Gold Life Masters.
It’s Allen Beroza again. His 141.28 is
12.33 better than a month ago, but he slips to sixth among all
Ken Meier looks like a mover with
121.09, up 24.50 pointwise and up to eighth overall from his previous #13.
Lo and behind, I’m still third with my
64.23 and still #31 overall. John Sinclair in fourth place added nothing to his
58.36 (he’s piling up points online instead). He’s #36 overall, down from #32.
Mike Silverman and Fred Yellen are
similarly silent – Mike with 55.77 (#40 overall, down from #34), Fred with
55.61 (#41 overall, down from #35).
Art Morth found a fractional point. He’s
sixth with 35.55, #62 overall, down from #60. Bill Rushmore has 25.22, #82
overall, down from #78. Meanwhile, Pat Rasmus, with 4.24, rides up to #247 from
#259.
Mini-McKenney. Unit 116. All Players.
Weltes, Weltes, Weltes. John and Martha
now have 486.23 for the year so far. That’s 86.26 more, after collecting 64.18
in September and 61.21 in August. Where do they find them all?
They should tell Saleh Fetouh. He’s an
even more distant third with 194.37, adding just 11.62 points.
Steady in fourth is Davis Heussler with
154.23, only 5.76 better than a month ago. Surging into fifth from seventh last
month is Jim Lanzo with 143.25, having amassed 22.72 more.
He passed Allen Beroza, sixth with
141.28, and Bud Seidenberg, who has 138.77 following a 10.01 point month. Then
it’s Ken Meier, 121.09; Vic Bergsten, 120.83, up 25.59 points; and Linda
Burroughsford, 120.71, 5.88 points better, but dropping from eighth to tenth.
Then come a tight cluster of players who
have just surpassed the century mark – Gay Simpson, 108.05; Amita Arora, 104.41;
Bob Sommerstein, 103.87; Barbara Libby, 103.69; and Jim Easton and Marilyn
Wortzman, tied for #15 with 102.06.
(More to come) (well, maybe not ...)
