- USBC Final Results For Open and Women
- when the world championship for an even numbered year is transnational, so that neither a country nor a zone is being represented, then the USBC is sort of unnecessary expanding on what Adam said, the Open has decided to hold a USBC on that weird year to qualify USA1 for ...
- Junior Entry Fees at ACBL NABC
- fixed $ amounts, especially if varying by event type, means board must: 0) remember the goal of coupons 1) proactively realize that a change in entry fees impacts the coupon algorithm 2) re-assess every time the entry fee(s) are changed 3) act in a timely manner quite a parlay
- Poll Regarding Drop-Ins from Soloway to Blues
- cynical devil's advocate guaranteed profitable strategy is to LOSE in the round before BRP Day 1. Then no worries about drop-in. and the BRP field surely better by having the losers enter day 1 than having players capable of 1 more win in the KO event strengthening the field ...
- Drop ins to the Blue Ribbons
- "268 blue ribbon q's"
show of hands - how many remember when:
* once you played in the BRP, all other Qs vanished
* if you did not play in BRP, Q expired after 3 years
oh yeah, far far fewer ways to earn a Q back then

[/i] - Junior Entry Fees at ACBL NABC
- thanks for the explanation Donald in that case i would adjust my recommendation in order to avoid having to re-assess fixed $ amount, how about fixed % rounded in whichever direction to nearest whole dollar. sidebar: do the juniors really pay cash or register electronically? if electronic, that could make discount even ...
- Junior Entry Fees at ACBL NABC
- suggestion to the board - defining a fixed $value allows zero room for growth. better approach is fix a %value. best = set a $ limit on out-of-pocket expenses for juniors you won't even have to make it retroactive for when i played as a teen
- Buffett Cup 2019
- no direct knowledge, but since this event is supposed to be an analog to golf's Ryder Cup, i assume there is ZERO prize money
- The Mysterious "Sunday Times" Article
- tangent Joe Conforte brought Belladonna-Forquet (maybe also Garozzo, but i only kibitzed Belladonna-Forquet) to play the 1976 end-of-year regional in Reno Nevada. At least during the open pairs, it was Conforte playing with Belladonna and they were being filmed. I don't know if that taping was used by a ...
- Poll Regarding Drop-Ins from Soloway to Blues
- compromise during an election cycle seems bizarre. Adam, the problem I see is that the GNT partnerships and team rosters are very different from what we will see in the Soloway that said, i believe ACBL blew it with the single, extremely flawed 1-time test case. they had the double ...
- Drop ins to the Blue Ribbons
- qualification to Max's #1 there MIGHT be byes in USBC to semifinal, but that is a rare parlay. More common is bye to R16 and this year one team has bye to QuarterFinal. those byes are not obligatory and are, in most cases, independent of the number of teams ...
