Eight arms provide enough strength for this sea star, and Eight Is Enough strength for your Swiss team too.
On Tuesday 8/30, we'll hold a Swiss game for Eight Is Enough teams. For this game, all teams will have 8 or fewer "points". Players on the team are assigned a point rating based on their total ACBL masterpoints as follows:
- All players with less than 750 masterpoints are assigned a point rating of 1.
- All players with 750-2000 masterpoints are assigned a point rating of 2.
- All players with more than 2000 masterpoints are assigned a point rating of 3.
Add the point ratings for your team to get your team total. All teams in this competition must be 8 or less. Eight Is Enough teams are all reasonably balanced, because no team can be overly strong.
These games have proven to be very popular at our club. Teams are forming now (see below). Don't miss out, get your team together and sign your team up at the club!
Here are the Eight Is Enough teams registered so far (partial teams too):
- Arlene, Cindy, Debbie, Marney (8)
- Brenda, JackM,Paula, MAJacobs (8)

Feeling Lucky? |

If you're feeling lucky, maybe you'll scratch at one of our games.
You'll get to bask in all the glory. 
However, if you're not having your best game ever, 
it still might be your lucky day.
Through mid-September, NKBC is awarding a free game to one non-winning pair.
Here's how it works:
- In any pairs game with 8 or more tables, the 3rd to last pair wins a free game.
- All pairs with the 3rd to the lowest percentage game win a free game.
- Just one pair wins a free game (unless there happens to be a tie).
- All pair scores, NS and EW, are ranked together, and 3rd to last wins the award.
Maybe this will be your lucky day after all! Maybe you'll be the day's Lucky Loser!
