To all participants of the 2019 Big Apple Winter Regional, we hope you had a fun and successful tournament! On behalf of the GNYBA we would like to thank all of the directors, caddies, volunteers and especially the players for making it happen. Please plan to play in our 2020 regionals back at the Hilton – each with new dates:
May 25 – 30 (starting on Memorial Day)
November 8 – 13
Full results from this week available through ACBL Live. Here are some final updates:
Master Point Races
Congratulations to the winners of all of the Master Point Races.
The open race ended in a 3 way tie between Max Rotaru, John Kranyak and Susie Schnelwar. Winners of the other races each won $100. Wendy Wen won the 0-300 race. Matthew Gordon won the 300-750 race (last year he won 0-300).
For the second year in a row we were able to demonstrate our hospitality by letting Toronto junior Jacob Freeman play for free (GNYBA student policy) and letting him walk off with the 0-2000 prize. We were thrilled he could join us. He may have to miss school to attend next November.

The races all ended dramatically:
GNYBA Player of the Year was a tie: Glenn Robbins & Lloyd Arvedon
Team Player of the Year was a tie: Michael Polowan & Adam Wildavsky
