| Results of Three Annual Races Coming Soon |
Players know that winning points can earn them a higher rank, such as Club Master, Regional Master or Life Master. But they may not be aware that every year they also are automatically in three races for the most points accumulated locally.
In mid-February, Carson Tahoe Bridge Unit 465 will announce the results of these three races:
- The Mini-McKenney award system was created in 1974 in honor of William E. McKenney, a key figure in founding the ACBL in 1937 and the Executive Director from its beginning until 1947. The Mini-McKenney tracks all points earned by each ACBL member during a calendar year at both club games and tournaments.
- The Ace of Clubs was added in 1984 to distinguish players who accumulate the most points at the club level only. It was renamed the Helen Shanbrom Ace of Clubs awards in 2011 to honor Shanbrom, a Grand Life Master who had won the Ace of Clubs more times than anyone else in ACBL history.
- The Ace of Virtual Clubs was created in 2023 to honor online players.
All three contests provide recognition for all levels of players from 0-5 points to 10,000-plus. In other words, you can be a winner in your category simply by out-scoring other players at your level.
