ACBL Ranking: None

Sorry, this user has no cards yet.

To Pros and Sponsors: Encouraging Super Bracket KO Events at Our Regionals: It seems to me that increased master point awards for pair games and Swiss teams are discouraging participation in KO’s. This becomes even worse when this declining participation results in 3 session events which very few player like.
First day table count in HNL (excluding NLM): The Hawaii NABC in 2006 had 8606 tables for the entire tournament. Of course that was a tournament that started the Friday before Thanksgiving and would therefore expected to have larger attendance. My own perception is that Hawaii is much more expensive than 12 years ago which probably depressed attendance.
Anatomy of NABC Child Care: We tried to contact that number but it was apparently a wrong number
ACBL plans to end all child care at NABCs?: We did not preregister before travelling to Hawaii but we have never had to preregister in the past. We have been attending every NABC for the past 28 years and for the past 7 years we have taken a child with us. We have been using ACBL child care for ...

We have an eight year old and actually went to Hawaii but are not playing any bridge as the only alternative child care available we could find was from the hotel which only goes until 10 PM which is not compatible with ...
Open Orlando Discussion Thread: The starting date (i.e. after Thanksgiving) has to be a major reason for low attendance as attendees now have to take more vacation and those with school age children have that issue to deal with whereas most children have thanksgiving week off. In addition, the later start makes it ...
Open Orlando Discussion Thread: I attended the NABC in Vegas a couple of years ago. I was surprised that neither food nor accommodation was particularly cheap in contrast to tournaments in that town 10+ years ago.
Open Orlando Discussion Thread: I understand that Eric Rodwell and Geoff Meckstroth can only receive the higher of the point awards for winning both the senior KO and the Blue Ribbons as they dropped into the Blue Ribbon on day 2. This hardly seems fair as they clearly earned both wins. Can we assume ...
