Collegiate Initiative - with More To Come!

 

Last weekend, four teams and 13 pairs participated in our online college tournaments.   Congrats to Georgia Tech Gold for completing a clean sweep of this year's Collegiate Teams Championship and winning all four of their matches by at least 25 IMPs. The six-person squad was led by Captain Cyrus Hettle and anchorman Sean McNally, the only player to play all four matches. Results   In the Saturday pairs, GA Tech dominated again, coming in 1st and 2nd with Wash U and Northwestern coming in 3rd and 4th. Results   1st: Zhuangdi Xu and Shengding Sun – Georgia Tech 2nd: Santhosh Karnik and Cyrus Hettle – Georgia Tech 3rd: Evan Alexis and Issac Stone – Washington University St Louis 4th: Jacob Reinke and Ben Fisk – Northwestern University Stay cool in the dog days of summer by playing in the CBO Club Special Tournament this Sunday, August 1, which will award masterpoints and special prizes. First through third place finishers will receive an Amazon gift card. Additionally, ACBL will draw the name of one random CBO tournament participant to receive a gift card.   You do need to be an ACBL member (only $5 for ages 25 and younger), have a BBO account (free) and be registered as a CBO member to participate in a CBO Tournament. Please note that it can take up to 24 hours to gain access to the CBO Club on BBO.   If you've never played in a CBO tournament before, simply log into BBO and click Competitive / Tournaments / All Tournaments or Free Tournaments / Collegiate. The CBO tournament should be first on the list.   If you have any bridge playing college friends, encourage them to join the CBO. Membership is open to any college undergrad or grad student age 35 and under. If you don’t have a student bridge org/club at your school, consider starting one. We can help! www.acbl.org/college
