SBBC Games This Week, June 27-July 2

This week is an ACBL “Back to the Club” special event.  All games are upgraded club championships, which award a lot of points.  At our last upgraded club championship week, our 5 table Monday game awarded 2.81 points to the overall first place winner, 2.11 for second, 1.58 for third and 1.19 for fourth.  Pretty impressive points!  Our 3 table Wednesday game awarded 2.44 for first, and 1.83 for second.  The more players, the more points, so come back to the club and play this week.

Our Thursday game is now a 750 game!  If you haven’t played because you are just over 499 points, please come back.  And this Thursday, June 30, will be a special game.  We are celebrating Mary Gillett’s big win at the recent Long Beach tournament.  She earned a very large pot of gold points and became a life master as a result!  Congratulations, Mary, and we are having a Thursday party to celebrate.  Sheryl is cooking for the game, so come to eat and play bridge in our upgraded club championship game.

Mike Moss is wrapping up his no trump lessons on bidding and defense.  It will be great summary, anyone can come to this lesson for $20 on Thursday at 5:30.

The week beginning July 4 is the Long Beach Regional Week.  The club will be closed for both in-club and BBO games.  We will be back the week of July 11.  And speaking of the week of July 11, that will be STAC week.  All games will award silver points.  Card fees will be an extra $2 to cover the costs.
