We had 18 tables (including the director playing in place of a no show) for this
 regular Monday shuffle-deal-and-play (maybe the last one) duplicate.  The game was
 organized as two 9-table sections, each pair playing 24 boards, top on each board
 is the usual 7.

Your director entered the scores in haste and it is not surprising that he committed
 a goodly number of errors.  Seven corrections were found during rechecking, most
 involving typing scores in the wrong column.  Here are the details:
Section A  Board 10  NS 6 v EW 8  710 not -710
           Board 13  NS 8 v EW 2  90 not -90
                     NS 9 v EW 4  90 not -90
           Board 26  NS 8 v EW 7  90 not -90
Section B  Board  2  NS 9 v EW 8  140 not -140
           Board 15  NS 2 v EW 8  -480 not -420
           Board 19  NS 7 v EW 7  -630 not -620
These multiple corrections did produce some ranking changes but the
 winners are still the same.

Congratulations to Eric Schwartz and Arthur Loring for the best score in the room, at
 nearly 68%, but only 2.5 MP ahead of Ellen Oasis and Lou Ann Stoddard who were
 second overall, almost a full board ahead of Joyce Pearson and Bob Gorsey.

With two sections, I award Free Plays to four pairs within groups as follows:
 1.  Eric and Arthur for First Overall at 67.86%,
 2.  No award in Flight C (0-500 MP) as none of those pairs met the minimum
    qualification of 52%.  Bert Winer and Alan Korpi (51.19%) and Maxine Gillen
    and Sherry Zises (50.89%) were close but each needed 2 or 3 more MP,
 3.  Ellen Oasis and Lou Ann Stoddard for first among Flight B (500-1500 MP)
    at 66.37%, more than two boards ahead of Steve Root and David Gross, 
 4.  Bohkee Yap and Irene Musick for first among Limited A (1500-3000 MP)
    at 59.52%, well ahead of all other pairs in this grouping, and
 5.  Sheila Gabay and Peter Grabler for Next Best Section Top at 59.23%, well
    ahead of Lois Resnick and Helene Cummins at 54%.

Next Monday is an International Fund IMP Pairs game, offering extra masterpoints,
 a different form of scoring, and hand records, as we will use pre-dealt hands.

In two weeks, on September 29th, there will be NO GAME due to Rosh Hashana.

Thank you all for coming!
