| Question of the Month |
For October 2024, we look at how points translate into player rankings:
Last month, we defined the colorful points that players earn when they do well at the bridge table. This month, we address the points needed to reach different recognition levels within the duplicate bridge world. There are 16 ranks, from Junior Master (5 Masterpoints) to Grand Life Master (10,000 Masterpoints plus a victory in a North American Bridge Championship). Please click here to see the complete list.
To read past answers, go to Questions of the Month on the navigation bar at left.

Other Notes:
More than three dozen people turned out for the annual Shrimp Boil, enjoying a outdoor meal of shrimp, corn, sausage, side dishes and cake. A big thanks to Gladys Turissinni for providing a lovely late summer venue at her home!
Health issues have kept a couple of our favorite players -- Carol Voge and Kathleen Sliter -- away from the tables lately. We wish them a speedy recovery and hope to see them back soon.
