I have made the following changes to the October schedule.
You can click here to see the new October schedule.
Congratulations to the Iveys. They earned 28.42 masterpoints during the month of August. This is a new record at TPBS for the most masterpoints won in a single month by a single pair. It just kinda takes your breath away doesn't it.
Congratulations to Joan Ivey. She has achieved the rank of platinum life master. The final few points came from winning the Swiss Team event at the Salt Lake City regional tournament.
Shown below is the cake we presented to her on Friday.
I understand that there was a failure of the scoring boxes during Saturday's game. I have examined the log file for that day, and I am not able to determine the cause of the failure.
After Monday's game, Barb and I entered the scores from Saturday's game using the pick-up slips into the scoring boxes. We used an opening lead of the club 2 for every hand, and when there was no declarer marked on the pick-up slip, and we used North or East as appropriate for the contract. If you find an error in a score on a board, please look at the PRESS AND RECAP page and verify that the incorrect score appears on that page as well. If it does, please notify me and I will make a correction. The scores recorded on the PRESS AND RECAP page determine the standings for Saturday's game, and those standings are the ones that will be submitted to ACBL at the end of April.
We are starting a new open game beginning Monday, April 4 at 12:30. We are also adding an open section to the Thursday NLM game. That section will be added on April 7 at 12:30. Because of the 12:30 starting time, the mini-lesson for the NLM players will be from 11:15 to 11:45.
The introductory table fees for the Monday and Thursday games will be $5.00 for the first 8 weeks. The table fees for the NLM game on Thursdays will also be $5.00 for 8 weeks starting with the game on April 7.
Congratulations to the Iveys. In the President's Day tournament at ASU West they earned 38.34 master points.
And congratulations to the Parkers, too. In the same tournament they earned 23.29 master points.
Congratulation to Ruth SideBottom. She attained Life Master status while playing in Las Vegas.
Shown below is the LM cake we gave her.

The church is located at the corner of 103rd Ave. and Alabama, approximately 1/2 mile south of Grand Ave. on \ the east side of the street.
We have received word that Fran Gehm's husband passed away last week. We have no information about services, yet. I will post that information as soon as I receive it.
There is a change to the February schedule. The Swiss Team Game scheduled for 2/12/2011 has been cancelled. The start time conflicts with Jim Woodside's Saturday morning class. We will have an Open Game starting at 12:30 instead.
Just as an oh-by-the-way, I still have not figured out why the scoring boxes did not work on Wednesday. I posted an abreviated version of the game data to our web site late last nite.

Special mention goes to:
We have received word that Aggie Wiese passed away. We have no information about services, yet. We expect that information sometime next week.
Barb and I find that it is necessary to increase our table fees. Beginning on Saturday, May 1, 2010, the table fees for all of our games will increase to $7.00 per person. We will no longer use the game type as a fee basis. In addition, the upper limit for the Thursday 199er game will change from 200 master points to non-life master.
Here's the Irish crowd.<

I have had some inquiries asking where the data is for section A for Wednesday's unit-wide game. Because we did not use the scoring boxes in section A the only section A data is on the "Press and Recap" page.
Three of our regular clients are currently first in the "Player of the Year" race. Barbara Ritter and Paul Weader are tied for first place in Strat C, and Susie Cabeen is first in Strat D. Congratulations to these players for their persistent hard work and excellent play.
The overalls for yesterday's Unit-wide game are shown below. There were 40.5 tables in play. We had 2 pairs that placed: 1 in Strat B and 1 in Strat C.
You can see the entire Overalls list by clicking here. The Peoria Bridge Studio winners are shown in blue.
We had 22.5 tables in play today. That's our highest table count, ever!
