- Small Ideas regarding ACBL NAP qualification
- To contintinue my only half serious argument, unit qualification can also be earned at any unit in the district, and stretches over a couple months. I suppose it is possible that all the units might schedule their unit qualifier games overlapping a WBF event, but a quick glance at schedule ...
- Small Ideas regarding ACBL NAP qualification
- Yes, I have read the CoC and know that none of those events qualify you at the club level, so I was poking fun at the process. That said, it is not true that the Bermuda Bowl and other WBF events do not have standing with respect to NAP qualification ...
- Small Ideas regarding ACBL NAP qualification
- Does the CoC allow you to substitute winning the Bermuda Bowl for above average in a club qualifier?
- Convention Chart Revisions
- Tiebreak procedure: if 4 boards with a different system doesn't break the tie, there will be a par competition. If it is still tied, they play darte. After that they arm wrestle. :)

- Convention Chart Revisions
- I was born in British Columbia and I know firsthand that players there can't handle multi. Ok just kidding (though I was actually born in British Columbia). I was referring to flight B and C events. I don't think it is practical nor a good idea to restrict ...
- Convention Chart Revisions
- Personally I think 3 is probably the right number - one for real beginner beginners, typically less than 20 masterpoints and definitely less than 100, that comes with a simplified alert procedure - one for casual/club players; most club games and tournaments up to BC - one for experts and serious tournaments ...
- Top Bridge Pros' Tax Woes Continue
- First, while I don't know either of them I have only heard good things about them. Its awful for them and their families, and less importantly a loss to bridge if they aren't playing for a period of time. As far as fairness goes, in my opinion there ...
- Convention Chart Revisions
- I tried minibridge a bit. Two problems: 1. Kids (other than really young ones) seem to be much less excited about anything called "mini"; they would much rather play bridge. If minibridge were called "tricks" or whateevr other name it might actually mame a material difference to middle/high school ...
