- ACBL Scheduling: Adjusting Spring NABC Schedule to avoid excluding certain genders/ages
- Absurdum arguments have limits. All NABC+ events are 4 session events. Not suggesting that this should change. Make them all a 4 session minimum. Look at the schedule for a non-senior. See the gaps. Suppose I only want to play in Pairs events. What do I play in on Sunday ...
- ACBL Scheduling: Adjusting Spring NABC Schedule to avoid excluding certain genders/ages
- I think every day, except the last, should be, at a minimum, a start day for a new 2 day NABC+ Open Pairs event. For example, if the Platinum Pairs or Blue Ribbon Pairs starts, then this is the only NABC+ pairs event that starts that day; but the following ...
- ACBL Nationals Start times
- It was Atlanta 2005. If there is earlier... see below.

- That was not my problem... I was asked to the provide the data and I did... what happens to it next was out of my control.
- Two ACBL Live questions
- Agreed. But still better than waiting 2+ days to find out who won which round. There are so much easier ways to cheat though...

- I was wrong. There is some data on an ACBL web site, just not ACBL Live. For example: http://cdn.acbl.org/nabc/2012/02/recaps/July14.html. It is not possible to get ACBL player numbers from this data.

- If you want some blunt data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Bridge_Championships Look at summer NABCs: Atlanta 2005 13,463 Chicago 2006 13,373 Atlanta 2013 12,363.5 Chicago 2015 13,684.5 I picked Atlanta because it had 1/7:30 in 2005, 10/3 in 2013. I ...
