The Amelia Island Duplicate Bridge Club celebrated Betty Berkman’s birthday during the regular scheduled bridge game Wednesday Nov 27th. Betty, who was featured in a front page article in last week’s News Leader, is a founding member of the bridge club and is pictured with her cake and also being serenaded by the Club members.

The ACBL has a new, and different type of event that is running this December. Basically, you can play in as many morning, afternoon pair games (minimum 3+ tables), and your two highest scores are averaged for possible overall rewards. The events can be our regularly scheduled, games. Each six-day period acts like a Side game. Any pair game in a morning or afternoon session during the series dates. This includes any club, tournament or special game, like a STaC or ACBL-wide game, during the series. At least one game must be a face-to-face game. All games from Virtual Clubs and the ACBL Clubhouse are averaged and considered as one result. Each game must have at least three tables to qualify. Events with under five tables have Player Results Percentage capped at 70%.ries run at a tournament. In these games, an individual competes in at least two pair games; you can play in as many as six games. The player’s two best scores are averaged. You are scored as an individual, so you do not have to play with the same partner each time.  

So if you are interested, you can go the website linked below and pay the $30 entry fee.  100% of that $30 registration fee goes to hurricane relief. The normal game fees collected at game time does not go to the hurricane relief, and you can register for either of the two weeks separately. You register just for yourself, and can play with different partners all week, that is fine.  You MUST register online prior to the start of play each week: Dec 9-14,and Dec 16-apply to online, club game of sectional or regional game you play in. If you are interested here is the FAQ for the game: Go for the gold FAQ

Go for Gold Points in All Morning and Afternoon Session Pair Games: Play in at least two games and be part of a larger event scored like a Side Series at a regional. (Only one game’s scores will be included each day; it will be the highest score.) The top player earns 20 gold points, and the top 25% of each pool (further explained in the FAQ) will also receive gold points.

Obviously YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER IN THE GOFOR GOLD EVENT to play in our regular club game. The Stredust event later this month is different from the ACBL-wde Go for Gold event. 

Congratulations to Amelia Island DBC Players who are leading in ACBL races in October

Only positive IMPs are shown, 21 participants.

Please refrain from coming to the bridge club if you even think you’re coming down with a cold or flu!

We all know it is allergy season but if you are sneezing and any chance it’s something other than that, we need to stress STAY HOME! Too many members or spouses have compromised immune systems. A little bit of thoughtfulness will go far right now.
