News:

  • Dad and I picked up fellow sub-300 MP teammates at the Santa Clara Regional and proceeded to win our bracketed KO!
  • No GNTs for me this year; I wasn't able to find a team. Oh well, maybe next year.
  • I haven't done a good job of updating this. Dad and I were going to play in the NAPC district finals on January 21st, but something came up that day so we knew we wouldn't be able to go. Instead, we played in the flight B district qual, since we had managed (somehow) to qualify in flight B in our semifinal match. The results were not pretty, as we had a mid 43% game in the first session. A better evening game brought us up to about 46.5% or so, but that of course was nowhere near qualifying. Still, considering that we had the lowest combined masterpoint total in the room and still finished in the middle (ish) of the pack, we can't complain too much.
  • Played in the SF NABC with Dad. We finished 2nd in B in the first session of a stratified open pair event before crashing out at dead last in the evening. We got knocked out of our first-round match in the knockout we played with Carol and Jan, losing by 4 imps. The same team finished 4th in B in a stratified open BAM Saturday night, and we picked up a 5th team member for the Sunday Swiss. The team didn't fare well, going 2-5 and finishing with 58 VPs, 12 below average. It cannot be said that fun was not had by all, however. Thanks to Carol, Jan, and Alan for playing with us!

Welcome to the bridge section of my site. I've been playing for about 4 years now, which means that I'm really still a beginner, but I'd like to think I'm good for a beginnner. I've compiled a collection of my favorite bridge related stuff. See the menu on the left for navigation, and enjoy!
