A MESSAGE FROM OUR UNIT PRESIDENT |
I cannot thank you enough for playing at our Roadrunner Sectional. Because our members supported the tournament in high numbers, we were able to cover all tournament costs with card fees even with our 0-20 “free play” promotional. With support from our members, will be able to continue running high quality Sectional tournaments.
I hope you will also support our November 7 – 9 Kachina Sectional. Damian Birnstihl is our Tournament Chair. He is scheduling team games all three days. In addition, Damian has formed a tournament committee so you can expect the same great playing facility; excellent directors; lunch and snacks for sale; engaging speakers; and a $14 session fee.
On another note, Arizona has a shortage of club and tournament directors. Unit 351 is not alone in paying travel costs for sectional directors. Having qualified local directors will help us keep our card fees low. If you are an experienced director and are interested in directing at local sectionals, all it takes is passing the Tournament Assistant test. Depending on your level, the pay is $200 to $264 per session. If you have an interest in being a club director as well, the ACBL holds online classes. The next one is May 11, (https://www.acbl.org/portfolio/director-courses/). The pay is similar for directing large local games. Please let me know if I can answer questions regarding directing opportunities.
