You'll note that two Minnesotans are over 10,000 masterpoints. The next four are within fewer than 500 masterpoints of going over the 10K point.
In 2014, it took at least 2331 masterpoints to make it into the top 100 in MN.
Last year, 14,054 and 2329 were the top and bottom necessary to be on the list. And in the first year we had the website and a list, which was year end 2005, Jim Hall was the leader of the pack at 12,118, with Jerry Lee following at 10,002. 1955 was the last spot that year.
Congratulations to all those whose efforts at the table earned them a spot on our list. And a reminder to all that bridge is a partnership game. No matter who you are, no matter how talented you are - no one wins masterpoints without the aid of great partners and teammates.
Good luck to all our Minnesota competitors in the coming year! We hope you have a marvelous time competing, be it at your local club, at a tournament or online. And don't forget to appreciate that partner and those teammates... Without them, none of us would be earning any points - nor enjoying this great game!
