- WOLFSON Wins Vanderbilt
- Thanks all. Your congrats are much appreciated. Our victory gives hope to the masses. We won because we played better than expected, and our opponents played below their average. We needed both. What are the odds of winning 6 matches as a 17 seed (without knowing who you'll be ...
- New Name for this Forum
- I like the reorganization very much. This better fits how things are done.
- Lanzarotti Readmitted to ACBL
- Yesterday I stumbled on many comments about my father and Dorothy Hayden in this thread. Here's the 709th comment in a thread whose 708th comment was on January 8th. I don't expect it will be seen by many people. I was saddened and surprised to see Bobby Wolff ...
- A different Eligibility Question - ACBL Discipline
- 1. There is a big difference between more than 90 days and 90 days or more. 1 day! Is three months more than 90 days or less than 90 days or 90 days? Does it depend on which three months are used and/or if it starts at the beginning ...

- A different Eligibility Question - ACBL Discipline
- "A player not in good standing can play in ACBL events other than the NAP and GNT Unit level or higher competitions." A confusing sentence. I think this means a player not in good standing cannot play in unit GNT, NAP, + Regionals + NABCs, but all other unit level competitions are ...
- Poll #3: Restrictions on Player Who has Qualified for Two Events
- So the vote was 17 to 13. Good to know. Thank you. Would have been better to know earlier.
- Poll #3: Restrictions on Player Who has Qualified for Two Events
- I see 16 Yes to 22 No and one "other." By the old rules, Board members can vote, whether they play in USBCs or not (or whether the TAC Chair has authorized them to be voting members even though they don't play in USBCs) Two of the yesses are ...
