YOU are the CHAMPIONS, my FRIEND
The ACBL allows each club to run two Club Championship games per quarter for each game day/time. Friendly has four games per week, thus we get eight club championship games per quarter. These games award more masterpoints than regular games. When I stumbled upon some "Bridge Club Champion" trophies, I decided we could have fun making use of these trophies. Thus our Club Championship games now come complete with trophies (For the photo op that is), and the winners of the Club Championship games will be the REIGNING club champions - until the next Club Championship game on that day. (So we will have the most recent club champion for each day we hold games!)
The Friday 6/5 club champions are Brian Dalton & Mary Jane McGinnis and are the latest Club Champions
The Monday 5/25 Club champions are HP Goel & Paulette Armstrong
The Thursday 5/14 club champions are Joe Gill & Dale Remmers
The Friday 5/8 club champions are Jean Scott and Nancy Stanton - and I just got their picture - so it will stay up for the next week.
The Saturday 5/2 club champions are Scott Nason & Gary Bush
Congratulations to the above winners, and we look forward to seeing more of you compete for Friendly CLUB CHAMPIONS!!
