October is the annual Jane Johnson Club Appreciation Month honoring the longtime manager of the ACBL’s Club Membership Department. About half of our games this month are Club Appreciation games with extra-extra masterpoint awards (82% sectional-rated—29% more than Club Championships and special fund games).

The New England Royal Sectional Tournament at Clubs is the week of October 14. All Bay State Bridge games this week award extra masterpoints with equal parts  gold ,  red ,  silver , and  black . All of our games this week are scored with other in-person clubs throughout New England. Click here for district-wide overall results and final masterpoint awards.

(Note that masterpoint awards are initially reported as all  silver ; they're changed to ¼ each  gold ,  red ,  silver , and  black  at the end of the week.)

Players with <500 masterpoints are invited to play in our Monday 10:30 open games in Wellesley for $5! Come with or without a partner—we’ll find you a partner.

The ACBL continues running Support-Your-Club online games that proportionately benefit whatever clubs you played at in 2019. Thank you for your support!

The Westwood, Puritan, Mid-Cape, and Dennis-Yarmouth clubs are most grateful for your participation in the Westwood/Puritan/Cape Online games, which ended when we resumed in-person play. Thank you!

The 7NTWorld group still runs their online games.
