We have ourselves another STaC weekend, so you can expect extra points at the club, and probably larger crowds (we recommend emailing or calling ahead with reservations). It also means you won’t see “the percentages” in the Bridge Mate for any of the rounds. Some of us probably wish that were the case all club nights – it could improve both the speed of the game and general morale!
Here is the link to the Feb 7th to 9th STaC Weekend Results.
The results update each day, a few hours after the session. Remember, you will get more points than what is shown on the club screen and printout due to the STaC bonus.
Swiss Teams and Silver
Similar to last time, there will be 2 chances to play swiss teams for silver points. Friday Feb 7th at Honors for 0-750 players, and Sunday night Feb 9th. If you are reading this just now, it might be too late for Friday morning. But Sunday night is looking very strong!
For the non-750 among us, you probably don’t care whether or not the points are silver, platinum, or colorless. But if you are tired of pairs and long for teams, there is an open swiss on Sunday night. So far, no word on whether it’s bracketed. But it will certainly be pre-duplicated, a nice perk that you won’t find at the sectionals and regionals.
What If I Miss This Chance?
The next chance to get silver points is March 6-8, at Woodbridge. This could actually be the last Woodbridge, as they look to move it to a new venue.
There will be another STaC in New York March 9-15 if you really don’t want to traverse the Lincoln and Holland tunnels.
And after that, there might just be a standalone NYC sectional in the works. Nothing to announce yet, but stay tuned!
