Up to now, it has been a non-Lifemaster game for players with fewer than 1000 masterpoints, and it is still limited to 1000 master points, but now Lifemasters can also play.  This should increase the attendance and make a more interesting game.  The game is flighted, so your score will only be compared to the others playing at your level. Monday Hand Records Marie is aware of the problem...   The hand records often do not match the hands that were played!  She doesn't know where the problem is, but has promised to find out.  Give her some time, please. Arcadia Bridge Center Results The ACBL has a now policy for clubs... They now require that the director send them the game results, which they will post so that players can see the scores and also get credited for their masterpoint awards, which becomes mandatory after the end of this month.  If the scores are not posted, you won't receive your awards.  The Bridge Center is now posting the results, and the link is above. Regional Do you need gold points?  There's a regional down in Orange county at the end of the month.  You can find more information with the link below... Long Beach Unit game Want some good competition and the chance to win extra masterpoints?   This Sunday you can go down to the Long Beach Bridge Club for both. Suppose your partner's hand looks something like this, and your second bid is 2.   Should she show you very good support for your second suit?  Maybe a jump in diamonds?  Ummm... but suppose you don't want to be at the 4-level in diamonds?  You might have a minimum hand that belongs at a lower level in diamonds, or you might have a hand that your partner would prefer to play in 3NT. The solution is for your partner to make an impossible bid, like 2.   A lot of very good players have agreed that this is an excellent way to show good support without jumping. With this hand, you would do the same thing if partner's second bid was 2, right?   Close   Pasadena-San Gabriel Unit 559 Our unit is one of nine in District 23 and we are sanctioned by the American Contract Bridge League.   We have an elected board of 12 members that meets monthly and is responsible for unit games and the annual John Waken sectional.  There are two clubs in our unit - The San Marino Bridge Club and the Arcadia Bridge Center.
