- Hawaii NABC Needs Your Support
- I think that it would help if there were more transparency about what is going on with the ACBL. For example, what caused the former CEO to be fired suddenly after serving less than one year? Why is another large IT-related write-off occuring? Without knowing more about the overall picture ...
- Do What Is Possible, Not What Is Easy
- I appreciate the fact that Mr. Kamras has taken the time and trouble to post here on BW, thus opening himself up to questions and criticism. It is certainly a refreshing change. However, I must disagree on one point. Flawed as national systems of justice may be -- and the U ...
- Do What Is Possible, Not What Is Easy
- Just based on relevant life experience (not in bridge but in other arenas of life), I have a strong opinion that there should be efforts to correct the record -- whether by working within the system, creating a separate Wikipedia page, or by other means. I disagree that it's done ...
- Do What Is Possible, Not What Is Easy
- Randy, John did not say that he thinks Mr. Zimmerman knew in advance that he was hiring cheaters. John wrote that it has been determined that 40% of the people he hired were cheaters. And, John has stated that it shows a lack of sportsmanship to refuse to address the ...
- Do What Is Possible, Not What Is Easy
- That reminds me -- I still haven't heard whether the "coughing doctors" prefer cherry, honey-lemon, or menthol. It seems as if it may be worth it to provide their favorite flavor of cough drop, if indeed they are not only being permitted to continue to compete, but to do so ...

- Just FYI -- here are some comments about working for the ACBL: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/American-Contract-Bridge-League-ACBL-Reviews-E355830.htm
- Congratulations to Monaco! Now named official 'winners' of the 2014 European Championships
- Usually, the ACBL's annual membership meeting is held at the summer NABC. That would be Las Vegas in late July, 2019. Whatever is going on at that time, I agree with Max that it would be a good idea to organize to try to get a quorum of the ...
- Congratulations to Monaco! Now named official 'winners' of the 2014 European Championships
- I'm sure you are right, Dale (and Max, and others). So, then, the plan would need to be to organize to bring a quorum to the next annual membership meeting -- which, if I recall the one in Washington, D.C. correctly, is not well advertised.
- Do What Is Possible, Not What Is Easy
- Jan Kamras has just commented (see above) that he shares our dismay, and may comment more fully in a few days. He is the head of the European Bridge League, I believe.
- Do What Is Possible, Not What Is Easy
- It seems that we are moving closer and closer to a point where the choices are four (at least four -- others can probably think of more). Figure out a way to unwind bridge from the Olympics movement and thus the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Also figure out a way ...
