Your percentage is compared across several ACBL Districts, so a high score can earn you lots of points. The Thursday 10A event is an Open Royal STaC game during this week. There must be 2.5 or more tables to run a STaC game. Provisional results for your events will be available about 48 hours after the end of each session. Go here and click on the desired session. You'll see a listing of everyone who placed in the overalls for each event and a complete list of awards at the bottom which is searchable by player and club name. The Unit is paying for the extra charges, so the game charge remains at $10. The online Game Calendar reflects the updated schedule. Please contact Ken L to request a partner: email to Partner Request.
