No, platinum points a re only available at North American Bridge Championships. Only red and gold are available at regionals. sorry to disappoint.

After the 2 hearts overcall, why don't you make a negative double for both minors?

Robert Wallace (died 10/06/2014) was head director in the American Bridge Association and directed many tournaments in the American Contract Bridge League also. He was 67.

The American Bridge Association summer national runs Thursday, July 31st through Saturday, August 9th. Hope people will be able to play. Game site is Crowne Plaza at Ravinia in Atlanta, Georgia.

Great news to hear. Good luck with recovery, and at Las Vegas NABCs.

Isn't it another way of saying "ruff" or "trump?"

How about Millard Nachtwey (head director at Mid-Atlantic regionals and other places)? Information posted to ACBL's website already.

If that's the case, why does the American Contract Bridge League host the "North American Bridge Championships?" ACBL does include Mexico, Canada, Bermuda and the United States. Many more members are all around the globe too.

Congratulations both Justin and Bob. Awesome way to make Grand Life Master.

Nice going all.

The easiest way is to pull trumps, make all your discards, then push the claim button. This prevents premature claims. If you do it too soon, the opponents take forever.

In checking up on ACBL's website today (yeah all) the results of the top 200 in the online McKenney masterpoint race are in for the year 2010, effective 01/09/2011. There are also the top 100 in each category for members to review. Congratulations to all and have a great 2011.

If you're quick enough and not sleepy, why not play out?

Horn Lake (previously Memphis) has a separate, online version of the McKenney masterpoint race. That race is also broken down by your masterpoints at the start of the year.

I'll do new minor forcing. The greatest thing since sliced bread. So fortunate to have picked it up on a cruise.
