Welcome to Bay State Bridge
Bay State Players Win Two NABC+ Events

Bay State Bridge players are at the top of the Spring North American Bridge Championships in New Orleans, after winning both NABC+ events that concluded in the first four days! Zach Grossack and Linda Robinson won the Baldwin North American Pairs Wednesday and Thursday (Friday Daily Bulletin). Sheila Gabay and Lew Gamerman won the Leventritt Silver Ribbon Pairs Friday and Saturday (Sunday Daily Bulletin). Mark Aquino and Robinson were third in the Silver Ribbons, and Alan Watson was sixth.

Robinson tops the masterpoint list with 156 points (all platinum) followed by Grossack at 106 and Gabay and Gamerman both at 100.

These were the first NABC+ victories for Gamerman and Robinson. The win makes Gamerman a Grand Life Master. Gabay now has four NABC+ wins and Grossack nine.
