- Foreign Competitors in ACBL masterpoint limited events
- As I understand it the WBF maintains a list of world life masters and world grand masters for both men and women. If we made anyone on either list ineligible for ACBL limited master point events it would be very easy to administer while still allowing foreign non-experts to participate.
- Foreign Competitors in ACBL masterpoint limited events
- We need some simple criteria to determine foreign player eligibility for master point limited events. Perhaps a simple criteria would be to make all foreign players with the rank os World Life Master or higher plus anyone who has represented their zone in WBF events not eligible foe ACBL limited ...
- Foreign Competitors in ACBL masterpoint limited events
- I do know many of the foreign players who competed in the LV 0-10,000 mixed team but at least two of them playing for the top two teams have the rank of World Grand Master within the WBF which is much more prestigious than ACBL Platinum Life Master. The ...
- Childcare at Las Vegas
- I was told by a member of the ACBL board of directors that the cost of childcare at a NABC is $3;000 and for that reason should be discontinued. This seems wrong as it would only require 5-6 extra parents to attend the tournament to recoup this amount considering ...
- Childcare at Las Vegas
- JoAnn, obviously the current membership is mostly composed of older players (I understand that less than 1% of the Houston Unit members are less than 40 years old). However, at the moment it appears that the ACBL (according to the marketing department and last years president) has no intention of ...
- Childcare at Las Vegas
- The ACBL position on childcare seems consistent with their lack of interest in attracting and retaining younger members. Already the median age is over 70 and on the way to 80. This position toward younger players is also exemplified by not holding the fall nabc during thanksgiving
- 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 ...
