Marriott’s Smoke-Free Policy
We would like to remind our guests that since October 2006, all Marriott hotels in North America are smoke-free. In addition, the City of Philadelphia prohibits smoking in all lobbies, hallways, sleeping quarters and other common areas of all lodging establishments.
When we establish that a guestroom has been smoked in, we perform a thorough and extensive room recovery/cleaning of the room so that we can return it to its previous smoke-free condition. If we determine that smoking occurred in your guestroom, your credit card will be charged our standard $250 room recovery fee per occurrence.
We have provided a designated smoking area outside of the hotel. It is located outside of the Filbert Street entrance.
We thank you for your cooperation and are pleased to provide you with a smoke-free environment. Should you have any questions about our smoke-free hotel environment, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Convention card reminderEach player is required to have a convention
card filled out legibly and on the table throughout a session. Both cards of a partnership must be identical and include the first and last names of each member of the partnership.
If a director determines that neither player has a substantially completed card, the partnership may play only the Standard American Yellow Card and may use only standard carding. This restriction may be lifted only at the beginning of a subsequent round after convention cards have been properly prepared and approved by the director. Further, the partnership will receive a 1/6-board matchpoint penalty for each board played, commencing with the next round and continuing until the restriction is lifted. In IMP team games, penalties shall be at the discretion of the director.
If the director determines the partnership has at least one substantially completed convention card but has not fully complied with ACBL regulations, the director may give warnings or assign such penalties as he deems to be appropriate under the circumstances.
The objective of these warnings and penalties is the encouragement of full compliance with ACBL regulations.
Masterpoint disclaimerScores as reported in the Daily Bulletin are
subject to change because of score changes or corrections.
The masterpoint awards as shown are, therefore, also subject to change.

Not so obviousBy Barry Rigal
On this deal from the first semifinal session of the von Zedtwitz Life Master Pairs, I thought the defense to 4♠ was straightforward, but not many players found it. Bd: 11 ♠ 8 5 2 Dlr: South ♥ 5 4 2 Vul: None ♦ K J 8 5 ♣ 5 4 2 ♠ A 10 9 7 6 4 ♠ J 3 ♥ A 10 9 8 3 ♥ Q 7 ♦ — ♦ A Q 10 9 4 3 2 ♣ Q 8 ♣ K J ♠ K Q ♥ K J 6 ♦ 7 6 ♣ A 10 9 7 6 3 West North East South 1♣ 1♠ Pass 2♦ Pass 2♥ Pass 3NT Pass 4♥ Pass 4♠ All Pass
On a club lead to the jack and ace, what would you do as South at trick two?
A trump shift may look superficially attractive, but is partner going to produce the goods in hearts for you?
Maybe, but at the table Glenn Milgrim returned a club to dummy. Declarer played the ♥Q next, covered all around, then he tried to sneak a heart through to the 7. Milgrim won the ♥J and played a third club, ruffed in dummy. The ♠J went to the king and ace, and back came the ♠9 to the queen. Now a fourth round of clubs promoted the ♠8 to the setting tricks. Plus 50 was good for 76 out of 90 matchpoints.
All hospitality is on the 5th floor of the Marriott.

Do we know the whole story?
By Lynn BergI am always
sorry for players who shy away from playing notrump - not just because the rewards are greater for tricks in notrump, but also because I am a normal, lazy bridge player.
When I can tell virtually the whole story of my hand with one bid, I’m delighted. And that’s what an opening notrump bid does. Partner knows within very narrow limits what my hand is like. There are two other benefits: Partner has to make all the decisions and I almost always get to be declarer. What’s not to like?
The same can be said when I open in a suit and my first rebid is in notrump. I’ve defined and limited my hand and partner has to make all subsequent decisions. He may ask me a question with a raise or a bid like new-minor forcing, but my answers are based on quantity of points or cards in a particular suit. I don’t have to make any decisions. Like I said - a normal, lazy bridge player’s dream.
Partner knows I usually have no more than one doubleton and that I don’t have a singleton. While ACBL regulations do not permit an agreement that we open 1NT with a singleton, it’s not the Laws that keep me honest, but rather the desire to cooperate as a partnership. Sure, I might have two doubletons on rare occasions, but they wouldn’t both be in the majors - again, so partner can reasonably visualize what’s in my hand. Would I open 1NT with a singleton? I guess I can’t say never, but I am in my sixth decade of playing bridge, and it hasn’t happened yet.
When I do decide to push the envelope, I remember the advice given by one of my favorite partners: Don’t vary from what partner expects in two ways on the same hand. So, if I had two doubletons, I’d have stoppers in all four suits. If I held:
♠6 2 ♥K Q 7 ♦A 8 ♣A K 9 6 4 2,
I’d just open 1♣. I have two doubletons and one of them is unstopped. Too much variation from what partner expects. And if I held:
♠A Q ♥K 6 ♦A 8 4 ♣K 9 7 5 4 2,
I’d still open 1♣. While I have all suits stopped, now I have doubletons in both majors. But I’d be sighing; 1NT does look like the best bid. So what if I gave in to temptation and opened 1NT? Would the bridge police come? Of course not. But that would be the moment partner held
♠K J 9 5 4 ♥A 8 7 3 2 ♦Q 6 ♣8
Now, knowing that I don’t open NT with doubletons in both majors, partner would get us to game in one of the majors, and the bridge fates would give us a disastrous trump break.
It’s when I have an unbalanced hand that I have to make sure partner has heard my whole story. Say you open 1♠ with
♠K J 9 5 4 ♥6 ♦A 8 7 3 2 ♣A 8.
Naturally, partner bid 2♥. Are you tempted to bid 2NT with your stoppers in the other suits?
Don’t be. You liked this hand because it has two five-card suits. Tell partner your whole story. Bid 3♦. If you rebid 2NT, partner has the right to assume that you have at least two hearts, but your 3♦ bid informs partner that you have an unbalanced hand and certainly makes no promises of heart length.
What if partner had responded 1NT to your 1♠ opening? In this case you haven’t told your whole story because you have another suit. If you’re not playing two-over-one, partner has no more than two spades. There’s a chance you have a much better fit in diamonds. Tell partner what you have.
There are two more reasons for bidding. Maybe you have more than five spades. Now you
would bid 2♠ with:
♠K J 9 8 5 4 ♥6 ♦A 8 7 ♣A 8 6, or 3♠ with:
♠A K J 9 8 7 ♥6 ♦A 8 7 ♣A 8 6.
The other reason for bidding again is that you have extra points. You’ve opened 1♠ with:
♠A K J 9 5 ♥A 7 ♦A 8 6 ♣K 9 2.
That’s a hand that’s too strong to open 1NT and not quite strong enough to open 2NT. After partner’s 1NT response, you put him in 3NT to deliver your message.
Responder can also have problems making sure he has told his whole story, but it’s usually easier to make good decisions when he’s already heard from partner. That’s why some call this position “advancer” rather than “responder”; advancer is the one who decides whether and where to go on.
JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS
Thinking bridgeBy Eddie Kantar
Dlr: South ♠ Q 8 6Vul: E-W ♥ Q 8 7 ♦ A K Q J 10 ♣ 6 5♠ A K J 7 4 ♠ 9 3♥ 6 5 4 ♥ 3 2♦ — ♦ 8 7 6 5 2♣ K Q 10 8 4 ♣ 9 7 3 2 ♠ 10 5 2 ♥ A K J 10 9 ♦ 9 4 3 ♣ A JWest North East South 1♥1♠ 2♦ Pass 2♥3♣ 4♥ All Pass
Opening lead: ♠A (ace from A-K in unsupported suits at trick one only).
Bidding commentary: The normal way to handle a major-minor two-suiter with opening bid values after RHO opens is to overcall in
the major and then bid the minor, at the three level if you’re lucky. Playing Michaels cuebids, if the opening bid is 1♥ or 1♠, a cuebid of opener’s major shows five cards in the other major along with five or six cards in an unknown minor. The range is 8 to 11 or 15-plus HCP. “Tweeners” with 12-14 HCP (the West hand) bid both suits.
Defensive commentary: East plays high-low in spades to show a doubleton. West knows that East can ruff the third spade. When giving partner a ruff with a choice of cards, the size of the card returned is considered suit preference and asks for a particular return. A low card (in this case a low spade) asks for the lower-ranking side suit (clubs), a high spade asks for the higher-ranking side suit (diamonds). West wants a diamond return, so he returns the ♠J at trick three. It is not for East to reason why, it is for East to do or die. East ruffs the ♠J and returns a diamond, which West ruffs – the only defense to defeat the contract.
Play commentary: As declarer, you just have to hope that they don’t find this defense! Also, if you and partner somehow managed to land in 3NT, you have just won the gold medal.
Twins Logan and Lyndsay Vance, from Versailles KY, pose with Uncle Ben at the Intermediate Newcomer reception on Saturday evening. The brother and sister, partners at the table, have been playing a little more than two years. Their real uncle, Mike Marlin, and aunt, Sandra Marlin – also from Versailles KY - taught them how to play the game. The Marlins teach bridge at the local elementary school where they have a five-table classroom.

World Transnational Mixed Teams
If you have ever dreamed of playing in a world championship but figured you probably wouldn’t qualify for it, consider the opportunity coming up for you next month.
During the World Bridge Games in Lille, France, the World Bridge Federation will offer the World Transnational Mixed Teams.
Your only qualification is to be in good standing with your national bridge organization. For most players at this tournament, that’s the ACBL.
The bridge tournament is part of the 2nd World Mind Sports Games in Lille, starting Aug. 9. The other sports are chess, go, draughts (checkers) and xianqi (Chinese chess).
The mixed teams starts Aug. 17, continuing through Aug. 23.
Because the event is transnational, players from any countries may make up teams. All partnerships must be a man and a woman.
The mixed teams presents an opportunity for players to participate in an exciting bridge tournament while having a unique opportunity to experience all the atmosphere of the final stages of the World Games and watch some of the greatest players in the world on the first-class vugraph presentation. Players wishing to compete in this championship should contact their NBOs and request nomination by the end of July 2012.
Lille is located in northern France near the border with Belgium. You can fly into Paris and take a bullet train to Lille – a one-hour trip. The tournament will be played at the Grand Palais, a spacious, modern convention center.
Details, including information about hotels in Lille, can be found at http://tinyurl.com/lille2012
Many East declarers in 3NT considered themselves unlucky on this 3NT deal from the first semifinal session of the von Zedtwitz Life Master Pairs. Bd: 2 ♠ 9 8 7 3 2 Dlr: East ♥ A Vul: N-S ♦ J 10 6 5 ♣ 8 6 4 ♠ Q 10 6 ♠ A K J 4 ♥ J 9 6 4 ♥ K 7 ♦ 9 2 ♦ A K 7 3 ♣ 10 9 3 2 ♣ A J 5 ♠ 5 ♥ Q 10 8 5 3 2 ♦ Q 8 4 ♣ K Q 7
On the lead of the ♥5 to the ace and a diamond shift, many Easts won the ace then used their two entries to dummy to take two club finesses. That is indeed a 75% line, but if you assume the diamond shift at trick two indicates that hearts are 5-1 or 6-2 and North has four diamonds, you don’t need to risk that.
Instead, duck the first diamond and win the second. Cash your diamonds and the ♥K, then play three rounds of spades, ending in dummy. This will be the position: ♠ 9 8 ♥ — ♦ J ♣ 8 6 ♠ — ♠ J ♥ J 9 ♥ — ♦ — ♦ 7 ♣ 10 9 2 ♣ A J 5 ♠ — ♥ Q 10 ♦ — ♣ K Q 7
Run the ♣10, and no matter who has the club honors, you make your contract. As the cards line, South has a club and can cash a heart, but you have the rest.

Slow PlaySlow play, as opposed to careful or thoughtful
play, is discourteous to your opponents -- and to all other competitors as well. Players and pairs who take more than their allotted time are subject to penalty.
In general, pairs who are rarely late will be warned while pairs who are habitually tardy and/or pay no attention to time limits will be penalized.

Second hand plays . . . high?
By Barry Rigal Bd: 7 ♠ K Q 4 3 Dlr: South ♥ 10 9 6 5 4 Vul: Both ♦ 9 5 2 ♣ 8 ♠ A J 9 8 ♠ 10 7 2 ♥ K 8 ♥ J 3 2 ♦ A J 8 4 3 ♦ K ♣ Q 10 ♣ A K 9 7 6 4 ♠ 6 5 ♥ A Q 7 ♦ Q 10 7 6 ♣ J 5 3 2
The field played in 3NT by West. Those lucky enough to get a top spade or a low spade were well placed.
Many Souths faced the problem of how to defend on the lead of the ♥5. At our table, South went for instant gratification: She won the ♥A and put the ♥Q confidently on the table. Minus 630 was worth 12 out of 90 matchpoints.
A better play is to break the rules and play the ♥Q at trick one. If partner has the ♥K, he won’t be unhappy to win the third round of the suit. As the cards lie, you get in with the ♣J (after giving a Smith echo in clubs) and see partner calling for a spade. When you shift to that suit, the best declarer can do is take eight tricks – and if he misguesses he may do much worse.
The route to success after the correct play to trick one is truly obscure – no one would find it at the table.
Win the ♥Q, cash the ♣Q, play to dummy’s ♦K and play a spade to the ace, followed by another spade. North is in, cashes a spade, on which South discards a diamond, then plays the ♥10, which declarer ducks. On the third round of hearts, when South plays the queen, West discards the blocking ♣10.
South is down to two diamonds and three clubs and has to concede the rest to one hand or the other (via a diamond to declarer’s jack or a club into dummy’s tenace).
Note that if North does not cash the last spade, South has a diamond exit in the six-card ending, but he gets thrown in with a diamond to lead lead clubs to dummy. He would be able to avoid this fate if he had the ♦2 instead of the ♦6.
Junior CouponsJunior coupons will be made available for
junior members in good standing for entry into events at NABCs:
Any junior under the age of 26 years who is a full time student (must provide proof of eligibility) will be entitled to coupons that can be used for any event. These coupons will have a value of $10 per session.
Any junior under the age of 21 years will be entitled to coupons that can be used for any event. These coupons will have a value of $10 per session.
Any Junior 19 years and under will be granted free plays for each session of regionally rated events.
Electronic Device PolicyThe electronic device policy is revised as
follows:1. For all NABC+ rated events at NABCs:
Electronic devices, including but not limited to, phones, cameras, PDAs, and others capable of sending or receiving electronic communication are excluded from the playing areas during any session of play. This does not apply to health- related equipment.
2. For all events at an NABC other than a NABC+ rated event: Except for health-related equipment, or by permission of the Director-in-Charge of the tournament, cell phones, audible pagers or similar equipment may not be operated or operable in any manner in the playing area during a session of play. Any such equipment must not be visible during the session. Sponsoring organizations of other ACBL-sanctioned events are encouraged to adopt a similar policy.
3. These restrictions in numbers 1 and 2 above apply to all pairs, team members, captains, coaches, play recorders (except those designated by ACBL) and kibitzers and are in force throughout any actual playing session or segment of play.
4. A violation of any of the restrictions in numbers 1 and 2 above will result in a disciplinary penalty of one full board (12 IMPs at that form of scoring) for the first offense. A second offense will result in disqualification from the event for the pair/team. Kibitzers violating this policy will be removed from the playing area for the remainder of the session.
New Life MastersJennifer Beall of Bellingham WA picked
up the 1.6 points she needed to become a Life Master in Saturday’s Mini-Swiss. She said that after qualifying as a Life Master, she played A/X. That’s the price of becoming a Life Master.
Carol Vorchheimer became a Life Master during the Gold Rush Pairs on July 14. Carol is on her home turf – she’s from Philadelphia PA.
Jeanne Forti mined the points she needed in Friday’s Gold Rush Pairs to claim Life Master status. The Jackson NJ resident, playing with Diane Brandwein – also of Jackson NJ – finished second in the event.
Father and son John M. Altman and John Altman bonded Sunday when both achieved Life Master status by winning their knockout bracket in the Saturday-Sunday KO. The Mariemont (Cincinnati) OH residents played with Nalin Mehta of Cincinnati and Arun Gupta of Westchester OH.
Deborah Root, Rock Hall MD, needed 16.04 masterpoints when she arrived in Philly for the NABC. By Sunday, she collected what she needed playing in the Giverny Capital Bracketed Flight B Round-Robin Teams. Her partner was Jeanne Land, St. Michaels MD, and their teammates were Dawn Travis, Easton MD and Barbara Moran, Tilghman MD.
Midori Wakabayashi of Philadelphia PA got her gold card playing in Sunday’s afternoon side Swiss. Her partner was Ann Murray, Plandome Manor NY and their teammates were George Trost, New York NY and William Sigward, Pelham NY.
Slow play: the curse of the game
Patty Johnson, Sebring FL, is a National Tournament Director and the Director-in-Charge for all District 9 (Florida) tournaments.
An old tournament director friend of mine, John “Spider” Harris, was famous for the saying: “Slow play is the curse of the game.” Nothing is more frustrating for tournament directors than having to herd players along like cattle when slow play isn’t actually the problem.
If you take a moment to think about it, most of your opponents do not take that long to bid or play a deal -- yet before you know it, the round is being called and you are nowhere near finished with the last board.
Here are some suggestions which, if followed, would solve many of our problems.
First: do not post mortem between deals whether you are in a pair game or a Swiss team event. Finish the round and then discuss hands if there is still time. We, as directors, will not cut your time but I think you will find yourselves under less pressure by following this suggestion. Remember: we provide hand records in pair games so you don’t have to worry about forgetting a particular holding.
Second: if you are on opening lead, make your lead before recording the contract in your private score. You will have plenty of time after leading to record the information and still see the entire first trick.
Third: unless you have a legitimate reason to leave the table, such as the restroom or a smoke break, please remain at the table and visit with your opponents. You might actually find this enjoyable and a new way to make friends or future Swiss team partnerships.
I wish we could make these suggestions into rules enforceable by penalty but none of us wants a bridge event decided by the pair with the fewest penalties. All I can do as a director is to ask the cooperation and help of all players because I think not only you but everyone else will enjoy their tournaments more.
Remember: those who enjoy a tournament will continue to play. Do your part to make bridge enjoyable for yourself, your partner and your opponents you can’t play without them.

The Wagar Women’s Knockout Teams gets underway today, and at stake is the Wagar Trophy, which honors one of the all-time great players.
Margaret Wagar (1902-1990), inducted into the ACBL Bridge Hall of Fame in 1999, became Life Master #37 in 1943, the fifth woman to earn the rank. She and Kay Rhodes share one of the most remarkable achievements in ACBL history --- they won the Women’s Pairs four consecutive years: 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1958.
Wagar and Rhodes share another record — one of frustration. They were second in the Women’s Teams for seven consecutive years, 1952-1958.
Wagar’s impressive record spans three decades and includes wins in women’s and open competition. Her open wins include the Reisinger in 1941, the Open Pairs (the fore-runner of the Blue Ribbon Pairs) in 1947 and 1948 and the Spingold in 1946 and 1948.
Wagar served on the ACBL Board of Directors from 1960 to 1972 and was named ACBL Honorary Member in 1979. She was non-playing captain of the U.S. World Women’s Teams in 1968 and 1972.
Winners and runners-upUntil 1976 the Women’s Teams was a four-
session event scored by Board-a-Match. It was contested as a three-session championship until 1972 and again in 1975.
The Women’s Teams was held at the Fall NABC until 1963.

Spingold Knockout TeamsHistory of the Spingold
The Spingold Master Knockout Teams was originally known as the Masters Teams-of-Four, and it was first contested in September 1934 as a separate event held in conjunction with the Masters Individual. Although not contested in 1935, it was again contested with the Masters Individual in 1936 and 1937. In 1938, the event became known as the Spingold Master Knockout Teams and was included in the summer schedule.
At one time the Spingold was a double elimination event scored by total points, usually lasting nine or ten sessions, restricted to players of Senior Master rank (100 or more masterpoints) and higher. Beginning in 1958, all matches were scored by IMPs (international matchpoints). In 1965, the double elimination method was replaced by three qualifying sessions (subsequently reduced to two), followed by single elimination knockout matches. The preliminary qualifying sessions were dropped in 1970.
The Spingold Trophy, donated by Nathan B. Spingold in 1934; the Vanderbilt Trophy, awarded to the winners of the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams at the Spring NABC, and the Reisinger Memorial Trophy, donated by the Greater New York Bridge Association in memory of Curt H. Reisinger and awarded to the winners of the Reisinger Board-a-Match Teams, are ACBL’s most highly prized team trophies.
Spingold (1886-1958), a New York publicist, motion picture executive and patron of the arts, was one of the most influential men in bridge administration from 1937 to 1943.
Born in Chicago, he became a reporter on The Chicago Examiner, The Chicago Record Herald and The Chicago Tribune. Spingold’s interest in show business brought him to New York City in the Thirties.
In 1932 he joined Columbia Pictures in a public relations capacity. He was named to the board of directors in 1940 and three years later was appointed vice president in charge of advertising, publicity and development. He became a vice president of the company in 1954.
Active in bridge from its earliest days, Spingold was named ABL Honorary Member in 1936. He was instrumental in effecting a peaceful merger between the American Bridge League and the United States Bridge Association in 1937 and became president of the newly formed American Contract Bridge League the following year.
He served for many years on the League’s Board of Governors and Board of Directors. Spingold was also president of the Cavendish Club in New York.

Support the ACBL Educational Foundation
The ACBL Educational Foundation supports activities for the purpose of instructing bridge, to increase the enjoyment of playing and the number of players. The Foundation has nine members: three from the Board of Directors and six from the general bridge membership. Members are elected for three-year terms, with a two-term limit. The Foundation meets three times a year at each NABC to consider all grant applications.
The Educational Foundation is funded by voluntary contributions made when members join or renew their ACBL membership, through special games and events, and from individual donations. Donations are tax deductible.
During the past few years, the Educational Foundation has approved applications for a variety of bridge programs across the U.S. and Canada, including:• After-school bridge clubs• In-school bridge programs• Summer Youth bridge camps• American Bridge Teacher Association
Conference• Online Course Module for teaching bridge to
school teachers• Bridge Lesson programs to develop new

Tournament Terminology 101
If you’re confused by the terms used to describe the different types of bridge events played at clubs and tournaments, you’re not alone. Here’s a list of common bridge events with explanations.
Flighted pairs: When flighting is used, the field is divided by expertise or experience or both into several separate games. Flight A ( “unlimited masterpoints”) will be open to all players while the remaining flights will be limited. Flight B might be 0-500 MPs or 0-1000 MPs while Flight C might be 0-300 or 0-500.
Each flight is scored individually, and masterpoint awards are made for each flight.
The masterpoint holdings of the players determine their flight. If one player is quite expert while his partner is new to the game, the pair must compete in Flight A.
In flighted events, you may play up but not down. That means you may play in Flight A or Flight B even if your masterpoint holding qualifies you for Flight C. Conversely, you may not play in Flight B or Flight C if you are a Flight A player.
Stratified Pairs: The idea is to compete against everyone but to be ranked only with your peers.
Each pair is assigned a stratum or “strat” based on the masterpoint holding of the partner with more masterpoints.
Example: A = 1000+ masterpoints; B = 300-1000; C = 0-300.
Thus, the most experienced players are placed in Strat A, intermediate players in Strat B and less experienced players in Strat C. Masterpoints are awarded for placings in all strats but gold points are awarded only in A and B.
The game proceeds normally. The difference comes when the scores are tabulated and ranked.
In a three-strat game, the scores are ranked three times. The first ranking is done as in a regular open game. These are the Strat A results.
If a B or C pair does well in this ranking, they receive full credit for that performance. It is not all that uncommon for a Strat C pair to place first overall, and they receive the full masterpoint award for that game.

Note: A pair is eligible for only one set of masterpoint awards and automatically receives the highest award.
The second ranking compares the scores of only the B and C pairs. The scores of the Strat A pairs are eliminated. Once again, if a C pair does well, they receive points for their finishing position in the Strat B results.
The third and final ranking compares the scores of only the C pairs. All the scores of the Strat A and B pairs are eliminated.
Strati-flighted Pairs: The top group plays in a game of their own: Flight A. The rest of the field in divided into strats and plays as in a regular stratified pairs.
There can even be stratification within Flight A. Flight A may be listed as 3000+ MPs while Flight X may be listed as 0-3000 MPs.
Rookie, masterpoints, stratified pairs -- these terms may be confusing to new members of the American Contract Bridge League. Here’s a list of terms and their meanings:
Masterpoints: the unit which measures bridge achievement in competition. Masterpoints are awarded at ACBL clubs and tournaments in amounts proportional to the size and classification of the event and the rating of the club or tournament.
Black points: awarded at club games. Some special club games award red, gold or silver points.
Red points: awarded for section placements at regional tournaments and NABCs. Also awarded at clubs for special events such as the qualifying rounds of the North American Open Pairs and the Grand National Teams.
Gold points: awarded for section firsts and overall placing in regionally rated events that have no upper masterpoint restrictions.
Platinum points: awarded for NABC+ events.
Gold points are also awarded for sectional firsts and overall placing in regional events of two or more sessions that have a masterpoint limit of 750 or more points.
One gold point is awarded to section winners in the annual ACBL Instant Matchpoint Game in sections of seven or more tables.
In addition, new players may now win gold points in their own NABC events: 1.50 gold in the National 199er Pairs at the Summer NABC and 1.00 gold in the National 99er Pairs at the Fall NABC (the remainder of the award is in red points).
A major source of gold points is the Bracketed Knockout Teams. The overall awards for the top brackets are all gold while the lower brackets may receive a percentage of gold points and the remainder in red points.
Silver points: awarded for sectional firsts and overall placing at sectional tournaments. Also awarded at Sectional Tournaments at Clubs (StaC).
Barry Crane Top 500 race: This trophy is presented to the ACBL player who wins the most masterpoints during a calendar year. Originally the McKenney Trophy, it was put into play by William E. McKenney, ACBL executive secretary. It was known as the McKenney Trophy from 1937 to 1981.
The list was expanded to include the top 500 players in 1982 and called the Top 500 from 1982 to 1985. It was renamed the Barry Crane Top 500 in 1986.
Crane, who was murdered in July 1985, was ACBL’s top masterpoint holder at that time and was acknowledged by his peers to be unequaled as a masterpoint winner and a matchpoint player.
Mini-McKenney races: In 1974 the ACBL Board of Directors voted to recognize masterpoint achievements among players below the rank of Life Master. The Bridge Bulletin recognizes leaders ACBL-wide. At the unit level, winners in each category receive recognition and special medallions.

Sandi Jones and Lois Mann, two Long Island NY players featured on page 3 in the Sunday edition, dropped into the Daily Bulletin office to tell about their exciting experience at Casino Night at the Marriott. Mann won a $100 gift certificate from Metalworks Contemporary Jewelry, and Jones was the star of one of the craps tables. She hit so many 7s and 11s that players insisted she keep rolling, and one man bet all his chips that she would roll a 7 or 11. Jones obliged by rolling an 11.

CEO shows his stuffBy George Retek
Robert Hartman, ACBL’s chief executive, has not been playing tournament bridge for a long time, but you wouldn’t know it after watching him in action from the Jeanne Fisher Memorial Stratified Open Pairs on Friday morning. Bd: 3 ♠ 7 4 3 2 Dlr: South ♥ Q Vul: E-W ♦ A 10 8 3 ♣ A 10 9 2 ♠ 9 8 6 ♠ K Q J 10 ♥ 5 ♥ 10 9 8 7 2 ♦ K 9 7 4 2 ♦ 6 5 ♣ J 8 6 5 ♣ Q 3 ♠ A 5 ♥ A K J 6 4 3 ♦ Q J ♣ K 7 4 West North East South Retek Hartman 1♥ Pass 1♠ Pass 3♥ Pass 4♥ All Pass
West led the ♦4, ducked to the South hand. Hartman played a heart to dummy’s queen, crossed to his hand with the ♠A and played three more rounds of trumps, revealing the bad split. He then played the ♦Q, and West erred by covering. Now when Hartman played the ♦10, he was able to discard his losing spade as East ruffed with the master trump. Hartman ruffed the ♠K and played his last trump, squeezing West in the minors. Making 12 tricks on the board helped us finish in the overall in the event.
On this board, the CEO made a bold bid that paid off with a top. Bd: 31 ♠ Q 10 5 Dlr: South ♥ K 4 Vul:N-S ♦ 7 ♣ K J 9 5 4 3 2 ♠ 3 2 ♠ 9 7 4 ♥ A 10 8 7 3 2 ♥ Q 9 6 ♦ Q 9 8 2 ♦ J 6 ♣ 8 ♣ A Q 10 7 6 ♠ A K J 8 6 ♥ J 5 ♦ A K 10 5 4 3 ♣ — West North East South Retek Hartman 1♦ 2♥ Pass 3♥ 4♠ Pass 5♥ Pass 6♣ Pass 6♠ All Pass
West led the ♣8, ruffed by declarer, who played a low heart from hand. West took the ace and continue with a heart to dummy’s king. Now a diamond to the ace was followed by a diamond ruff, a spade to the ace and a second diamond ruff. He ruffed a club with the ♠8 and drew trumps. Plus 980 was good for 38 of 38 matchpoints.

Bill and Fran Metzgar “Grandparents” Stratified Open Pairs
Many thanks to my grandparents, who were patient enough to teach two active pre-teens, my brother and I, “Metzgar Bridge” (consisting of Stayman, Blackwood and strong twos). To them I owe countless friendships and a life-long love of the game.
