Top 100

Masterpoints are the coin of the realm for bridge players.  We earn them in club games.  Sectionals.  STACs.  Regionals.  NABCs.  Online.  There isn't a bridge player alive who doesn't like to add to their lifetime total.

So, here we are, starting out a new year - and looking at what the top 100 Minnesotans have earned for their lifetime masterpoint totals.

You might note that I, your webmaster, am at the top of the list.  I am honored to be there.  But please also note that no one gets their masterpoints without help.  If not for fine partners, tough teammates - and the occasional hapless opponent - we wouldn't have our masterpoints.  And - we would not be enjoying this great and complex game.

My thanks to Sue Jackson, Unit 178 president, for supplying us with the current top 100, along with the top 100 masterpoint winners for 2011.  Enjoy studying the stats.

Kudos to those who made the list - and - may everyone have a wonderful 2012 earning their new masterpoints!

Congrats to all on the list and to all who play this great game!

This report does not include points won at the MGSC in December or in the MGSC KO's. Annual totals are not usually final until the February MP run on or about the 6th of the month.

Steve - thanks for the update about this report. Perhaps someone will be wonderful enough to send me a "final year" list with everyone's 2011 points?

I will ask for that in February. I am also hoping to get totals for some of the great players no longer with us that earned most or all of their points while in MN.
Here are some names of players who I think would be in the top 100. Please add any that I may have missed.
