November at SDBC.  Four players should receive kudos for supporting our club during November.  Charles Tarvin, Barb Willis, Jerry Levi, and Cathy Vellenga all played seven times.  We had  43 individuals playing at least once during the month as the effect of snowbirding takes it's annual toll.  Table counts 281/2 in the open and 11 in the 299 game were down as well. But in defense of all of us, the month was shortened by Thanksgiving claiming two two games. Watch this space for "coming attractions" in Janaury I'll post some year over year comparisons for 2024 and 2025.  Any guesses on what will be shown?

October at SDBC. We booked 55 tables during October including 19 tables in the Wednesday 299 game.    Forty-eight individuals played during the month with Arlene Milbrodt being the most consistent with 10 games,  Rob Davis, Barb Willis and Cathy Vellinga all played nine times.  Club members also participated in Sectionals in Sioux Falls, Council Bluffs, and Davenport in addition to the N/I Regional held with the Bluffs Sectional.  The 19 tables at the Wednesday morning game are a tribute to the support Leon gives this group. Thank you to everyone for the outstanding support of our club.

September while "losing" the first Monday game to the Labor Day holiday we finished strong on a fifth Monday STaC boasting six local  tables.  During the month, 52 individuals played at least once.. Rob Davis led the pack with 10 games and 8 players (Jean, Karen, Diane, Wayne, Charles, Monica, Molly, and Glenn) played eight times.  By the way, the Wednesday 299 game racked up 18 tables during September, up from 16 1/2 in August. 

Club statistics for the month of August.  Fifty-four (54) different people played in one or more of our club games  during the month of August. Three people played in eight games.  Thank you, Karen Bourne, Jean Darrnell, and Rob Davis.  Six people played seven times, five played six times and twelve played five times, all during August .  This is what support for our club looks like!

Minnesota Units have consolidated their web presence into a single website.  The new site has a great deal of information on bridge in general and statistics about bridge in the upper Midwest.  You may connect to the site here.  As a sample of some of the statistics, here are two of the charts I found interesting as originally published on their site.

The Webmaster is updating frequently from publicly available ACBL data.  Here is the direct link to The Minnesota Bridge Blog which contains not only the statistic mentioned above but news on the Unit's NAP games, an interview with a new Life Master, and other items of interest.  Apparently it is updated almost daily and yes, I am jealous.
