Mixed team event in the books

My squad came in third place in the Mixed Board-a-Match Teams. I played with Cindy Bernstein and our teammates were Sally Wheeler and Buddy Hanby. We were more than three boards out of first, but less than one-half a point out of second.

You can read about it in the Daily Bulletin here later on tonight.

It was a pleasure to meet bloggers Jennifer Jones and Bob Klein. You can read their blog Jenn Bridge if you click here. Jennifer has a great booklet on losing trick count. If you're interested in elevating your game using this tool, check out how to get one from her at the web site.

The next two days will be the Roth Swiss Teams. I have the same group, but we've added Danny and JoAnn Sprung to make a six-bagger.

  2. No gold bracelets?
    Haven't won as much money either.
    But, people can play online bridge.

  4. @lightning: yeah, bridge has its own jargon.

    @KenP: People don't understand the attraction of bridge because there's no reward other than what we call "ego points."

    @Neophyte: Thanks.
