REMINDER: The Saturday and Sunday afternoon games currently award 3-4 times as many masterpoints per table as the other weekly sessions.  That is possible only because the director donates $4 per table to an ACBL-designated charity.  Let's reward this enterprise by supporting those games!

The Tuesday 299er and Saturday 299er sections also are Charity Games, with extra Masterpoints.
