Some seem to think that the greatest mind game ever created - bridge - is on its last legs. It is true that in today's world, bridge is not the game that "everyone plays" as it was some decades ago.
But. If you think that people are giving up and ready to say "au revoir" to our game, you are sadly mistaken.
Wonderful people, like Tournament Chair Amy Dutton, Partnership Chair Susan Sanger and other volunteers are bringing new life - and players - to our game!
As you can see above, our I/N players are competing - and winning - and having a glorious time doing it! Surprised but elated by their victory, these players can't wait to show their trophies off to their grandkids!
Other players were also excited to win - and all had a marvelous time. In two days of play, the I/N Regional had 117 tables in play, and 140 people won masterpoints!
At the top of the list were Bernice Blaske and Thomas Botten. They earned an impressive 12.66 masterpoints! The full list of masterpoint winners is here; the results from the events are here.
As always, our thanks to Director in Charge Kim Hayward and Director Brian Weikle.
And a huge "way to go" and thanks to all our I/N players who came to compete and enjoy! Three of our players had never played duplicate before the regional! Thanks for being brave and dipping your toes in the duplicate waters.
Well done, everyone! We look forward to seeing you at the clubs and more tournaments, appreciating and attempting to tame this incredible, fascinating game!
