We had 17 1/2 tables for this Friday morning EMBA Unit Game, organized as
two 9-table sections with a phantom pair 9 E-W in Section B, so that most
N-S pairs in that section had a 3-board sit-out. We used pre-dealt hands
and scored across the field so top on each board was 15.
I corrected one error reported at the club, and then found three more upon
rechecking all scores:
Section A Board 4 NS 6 v EW 1 630 not 650 poor handwriting
Board 5 NS 2 v EW 2 -200 not -100 wrong vul
Board 24 NS 6 v EW 4 990 not 490 bad eyesight on my part
These corrections made for only minor ranking changes, flipping 3rd and 4th
places N-S, but not affecting who won.
Congratulations to Bob McCaw and Sheila Gabay for the best score in the room at
over 63%, only 4 MP ahead of Nataly Goldin and Joe Cappannelli. These Unit Games
have generous MP awards with the winners earning nearly four masterpoints, and
seven pairs winning at least a full point for overall placement in their flight.
With two sections I award Free Plays to four pairs within strata as follows:
1. Sheila and Bob for First Overall at 63.69%,
2. No award in Flight C (0-500 MP) as none of these pairs reached the minimum
requirement of a 52% game, although Susan Rutskin and Eva Milofsky only
missed by one or two MP,
3. Michael and Sandra Lindheimer for first among Flight B (500 to 1500 MP) at
58.44%, less than one MP ahead of Claire Aronson and Estelle Katz,
4. Len Selsky and Bill Collins for first among Limited A (1500-3000 MP) at 56.52%,
four MP ahead of David Green and Mort Silin, and
5. Claire Aronson and Estelle Katz for Next Best Section Top, winning Section B
N-S at 58.29%, barely ahead of Ellen Oasis and Rob Baum who won Section A N-S
at 58.03%, a difference of less than one MP.
There are several listings of results beginning with the overall ranking across
both section and then showing individual recaps for each section. The board-by-
board summary will enable you to check out why certain scores were less than you
had estimated. The hand-records are also online.
Next Friday will be a Club Appreciation Game, offering extra MP at regular prices
(the new entry fee is $7.50). Saul Agranoff will be directing that game while I
am vacationing in Maine for a few days.
SWISS TEAMS will happen in three weeks, on October 17th. Get your team together
and sign up online or by sending me e-mail.
The various Jewish holidays, which cancelled four consecutive weeks for us last year,
do not occur on any Fridays this year, so all of our games will happen as usual.
Thank you all for coming !
