| STARDUST WEEK APRIL 22 |
What is Stardust Week? It's a chance to earn 1/4 GOLD POINTS !! We will be participating with our game of April 22nd.
ACBL advises players that masterpoints will initially show as all black per usual, but that ACBL will convert one-quarter of points earned to GOLD when their monthly masterpoint tally is run.

| DOIN' THE MATH WITH MASTERPOINTS |
Invariably I get a question from time to time as to why the masterpoint award shown on our website is LESS than the amount which ACBL shows in its official award.
The simple answer is that ACBL "inflates" masterpoint awards for any game in which more than 18 boards are played (the minimum allowed). In most cases, the inflation is simply the ratio of boards actually played to 18, with 1.5 being the maximum factor. But since I can't account for the exact factor in every case, I must suspect that sometimes the inflation factor is based upon voodoo or black magic. But, hey, they're the ACBL and that's hardly the only imponderable to come out of ACBL Headquarters in Mississippi.
At any rate, all that our website software can display is the amount of masterpoints which the ACBL scoring program on my computer calculates at the end of the game (and that software is now decades old with no ACBL plans for upgrade). But in all cases, you should receive at least the amount shown at the end of each day's game . . . and usually more.

| SPECIAL GAMES |
Our March and April schedule has been tentatively filled out with planned special games. We'll hold an ACBL Charity game (extra masterpoints) in mid-April.

| THE SWISS ARE COMING !! THE SWISS ARE COMING !! |
Get your teams lined up early because the CMBA Board voted to hold four additional Swiss Team events each year! The first three on the schedule will be Saturday June 22, Saturday September 28, and Saturday October 19. Better yet, each of these games will be held at the Holden Senior Center !!
These games will be in addition to our normal schedule of monthly Unit pairs games, so there's still something on the schedule for everyone's taste. And sometime in the near future we may also hold another Pro-Am event as has been requested by many of you.
If you weren't able to join us for the last Swiss Team event, why not give it a try now? Those who played found it a new and fun way to meet new teammates as well as new opponents, and everyone earned at least some masterpoints during the event.
