Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Mindless revoke
- The rules are you should call the Director. Personally, I probably would not but I understand you have to protect the field. This reminds me of something that happened many years ago at a National pairs event. I was playing against Mike Levinson who was legally blind and he revoked ...
- A better rating system
- Many years ago the Twin Cities tried the Stegman report. It was a complete disaster because no one wanted to look bad on the report so players only played with others who could get the job done.
- RIP Harold Lilie
- Sadly, I believe these announcements will become more frequent. Bridge as we knew it is disappearing. At least we were here to enjoy it when bridge was fun and the people we met were great.
- Bermuda Bowl inter alia (perfectly open thread, as far I'm concerned)
- Meckstroth's low club to the Queen in 3NT with dummy holding Q108xx and declarer holding two small was outstanding! LHO had made a T/O double. He is one of the fastest players on the planet(Maybe the fastest) and he went into the tank for a very long ...

- I have chaired four Regionals and they were all successful. One was the most successful Tournament ever in District #14. It was Disa's first US tournament. Ask her about it. When I call out people who do not do the required work, I know what I am talking about ...

- Bridge in the mid west is dying off. More players move, stop playing, and die off. Having more Regionals is insane. An additional point is the people in Nebraska work hard and the others do not. The other Regionals draw around 500 tables because there are too many and the ...
- Every Time I Think Things Might Improve, They get Worse!
- I am not complaining about the eliminated Sectional. The Quad-cities did the right thing. That is the point, The District did not!
- Bridge is getting harder to play
- "What we have here is failure to communicate." I know, it is too easy.
- What To Do When Someone Acts on UI?
- It seems to me that no one teaches active ethics any more. I was lucky when I started, club members played with us and made us aware of ethics and much more.
