If you're pondering who might have been the top masterpoint winner at any Minnesota tournament, guessing John Koch often will give you the correct answer. So it was over Labor Day weekend. John earner 23.72 masterpoints; about a point and a half behind was Joseph Koester. Quite impressive was third place; Sandy Nelson has less experience than many of our competitors, yet she was the only other player to earn over 20 masterpoints for the tourney! Well done, John, Joseph and Sandy, plus the other players who placed high in a number of events. The full list of results is here.
Always wonderful to see people having a great time at the bridge table....
Or - after the game has ended!
As always, our thanks to our hosts, Teri & Chip Blu, great director, Brian Weikle, and the omnipresent player, director and all around wizard at the TCBC, TGLO (The Great Larry Oakey!)
Many thanks to all who came, fought, contributed and volunteered! Hope you had a wonderful time!
What a wonderful treat for Elaine and I to see some very farmiler faces and some new one also. Great to see the Bridge Center and the great times we all had in that building, I for one know that bridge in Minnesota would probably have died without the great help of The Great One Larry Oakey.........thank you all for coming to the Bridge Center when we were there. PLease continue to come and enjoy bridge. Terri and Chip have to love bridge and the players, it is a task that they undertake as the time and effort that they put in is not because of finincial rewards. Again bridge players owe a great round of applause to the great one.LARRY OAKEY. I hope that players also should thank Mike Flader, Steve Gaynor, Fred Espie Sharon Anderson and many others who have donated much to the game and many thanks to Peg Kaplan who help keep the great game of bridge active.
