| The Common Game |
HHDBC has joined The Common Game!
What is The Common Game?
It's a grouping of ACBL-affiliated clubs that broadens the competition by playing the same hands across many clubs. Lots more statistics and analysis, too if you explore their website. If your friends elsewhere across the country are playing at the same day and time as you are, you can compare results!
So now, if you play at Heritage, afterward you can see your results on our own website, on the ACBL website that most of you are familiar with, or on The Common Game website.
Yes, The Common Game awards their own points to determine the best players across their member clubs, but you get no extra ACBL points for any of this.
If The Common Game has your email address on file they may now start sending you results emails. If you would like to receive those and you're not getting them, or if you ARE receiving them and you don't want them, send your own email to help@thecommongame.com with your ACBL number in the subject line, and tell them what you want them to do!
Any more questions, email or ask Club Manager Karen Sloan.

| Charity Games |
Our charity fundraising geared up again in 2023.
Our autumn charity games raised $1080 for Magen David Adom, the Israeli Red Cross. In their thank you letter, the organization said the money raised was going to outfit ambulances, for blood services and also for protection equipment for medical crews. Click here to view the full document.
The first week in August in a pair of charity games members donated $300 to help women fleeing domestic violence. The club matched that, to give a total of $600. The center sent a note thanking the club for the donation, adding that "we truly appreciate your dedication to ending violence in our community."
Read the full note here.
The club raised $400 at the game on Thursday, June 22, the money to go to the Alzheimer's charity.
In April, the club raised $460 for the local charity Ride Connect.
Treasurer Richie Stroh says they were thrilled to receive the money. They sent a Thank You note.
 
In June 2022 the membership raised $280 for the Alzheimer's Association, which the club matched, for a total of $560. Earlier in the year, two special charity games brought in $500, which the club matched, raising our total to $1000 going to the United Nations World Food Program, the money to be earmarked for Ukraine.

| Mask Policy |
According to the CDC the level of Covid in Westchester County is medium (yellow). So mask wearing at the Heritage Club will now be optional.
However, if a player would like you to wear a mask at their table, please do so. Bring your own mask to bridge and also the club will have some KN95's available for $1.
If a player refuses to wear a mask when requested, he/she will be asked to sit-out the round and both partners will receive a zero score for the round.

|
|
| Keeping Score |
WARNING: According to ACBL laws, during a game at least one partner must keep a legible convention card with the proper score (not plus, minus or average, but the correct number.)
The club must enforce this rule because any time there is a computer issue the director will have to require scores to be recorded on paper on a pickup slip.
Those who don't comply will receive a zero score on any board that is not scored properly.
