All results from the Summer Sectional can be found here:  https://live.acbl.org/events/2607316

If you played in the 0-1000 Swiss today your results are not yet posted as of 6 PM Sunday.  Cathy, our Director, needs to double-check the results and will post them this evening.  She has a long drive home and has to cope with tunnel traffic, so the results may not be available until Monday morning.

One note for all players:  Today's Swiss had two separate fields, playing differing numbers of boards in each round.  This led to different rhythms of finding tables, shuffling, comparing results, etc.  It was especially noisy and disconcerting for the 0-1000 field.  Please keep this in mind for our future tournaments.  These are the players we are trying to encourage to return.

The Minneapolis NABC is complete.  Muh-sha's total masterpoints for this national is  121.3  currently residing at 38th out of 3,037 players winning masterpoints.  This is a fantastic finish.

She finished playing with  Andrew Gofreed winning the Saturday Open Pairs for 33.5 gold.

She along with teammates Linda Marshall of Bethesda, Md, Hank Mayer of Greenbelt, Md. and Andrew Gofreed of La Plata, Md. placed 10th in the Freedman Mixed Board a Match Teams for another 29.33 platinum.

Muh-Sha Crawford, playing with Linda Marshall of Bethesda, MD, finished 6th in the Wagar Women's Pairs, earning 36.36 Platinum points.  She's also won a fair amount of Platinum and Gold in other events.

Each Director decides whether or not to cancel their own games based on inclement weather.  Many of you remember that we used to link Bridge Center status to Virginia Beach Public Schools: if they closed, we closed.  We eliminated that linkage a few years ago.  Now it's up to each Director for the given day.

Many of you are receiving email from club owners about upcoming events and other bridge topics, even if you never signed up for them.  The club owners probably obtained your email from the ACBL roster.  The ACBL terms of use (found at https://web2.acbl.org/documentLibrary/about/termsofuse.pdf) allow them to send information about ACBL-sanctioned bridge events and announcements and newsletters discussing activities of the respective club, Unit, or District.  If you don't want to receive their emails then send them a note to direct them to remove you from their mailing list.  If they won't honor your wishes then let me know.

Emails from the Unit will be sent using the database we maintain on BridgeWebs, which is also updated with the ACBL roster.  If you want to opt out of those, you can either use the Contact Us form on the web page or else you can update your member profile in the Member Area (under Membership).  If neither of those work then contact the webmaster, Wrus Kristiansen, or myself.
