- One Glaring Example of ACBL's Bloated Bureaucracy
- Probably there are many people who agree with the suggestions made in the proposal "Ensuring the Future of Bridge". But -- how do we get from here to there? Many people have suggested a reduction in size and a restructuring of the ACBL Board of Directors, and pointed out that effective ...
- ACBL CEO: Post-Mortem
- Here's another point: On the other thread on this topic, people have commenting that others were only speculating about what occurred/what led to this firing. Well, that's true. My question is: do we, as members of a non-profit membership organization, have a right to be informed about ...
- ACBL CEO: Post-Mortem
- It seems to me that the mention of "counseling" prior to Mr. Gidwani's firing, does provide some information. As already mentioned, it could be for legal reasons, because (of course) the ACBL does not want to leave itself open to being sued. It also in effect tells us that ...
- Play in Washington DC
- http://www.districtsixbridge.org The Washington Bridge League's Thursday night unit game has a guaranteed partner program, so even if you do not contact someone in advance, you will get a partner if you show up in advance of the game (preferably by 7 p.m.).
- Melanie Manfield's bidding problem: --- KT965 QJ53 AKJ9
- Yes, partner had a weak 2D opener available.

- Is ACBL Aiming for Ridicule?
- The idea that young people don’t play games face-to-face persists, no matter the evidence to the contrary. The average age of the hundreds —and sometimes a couple of thousands — of Magic the Gathering players who come out to play tournaments every weekend — is not 99.
- EBL will disallow Fantoni and Nunes
- I doubt whether the: length of time of the cheating, failure to admit it, appeal to the CAS, and continuing to pursue the EBL legally, is likely to lead to many players putting this behind them quickly. And there are some who do not think there has been an over-reaction.
- EBL will disallow Fantoni and Nunes
- I'm not anti-lawyer. However, it's too bad that the EBL has to spend all of this money and time having its lawyers deal with Fantoni's lawyers.
