At a recent sectional, competitors had to go back in time. No, everyone was not forced to play Charlie Goren 1950’s Standard American. They did, however, have to resort to a behavior we haven’t seen for some time: making hands prior to play.
At each table, players sorted cards into suits, received hand records, made hands, moved boards, and then were able – finally! – to play.
What caused these prehistoric tasks? Unit 178’s dealing machine was on the fritz.
The Unit board judged that the time and enjoyment of our players is too important to not have a well oiled dealing machine at our beck and call. Thus, the board decided to purchase a second machine – and we asked our players to help contribute to the cause.
We did not know what the response would be. It turned out to be awesome! We were blown away by your generosity, met our goal and were able to purchase the new dealing machine.
Our thanks to all who contributed and to the generosity of our community!
