Siegmund Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 My club didnt request the materials early enough :P In years past we've had a special game for this, even if it wasn't our usual night to play. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elianna Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 This used to be my favorite event on the calendar, but less and less clubs in my area are doing it, so I can't play in it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Participating Clubs Indeed :rolleyes: but its at one club I play in :) Yes, I saw that page. It would take me 1.5 hours to get to the closest of those. 2.5 hours to get to the second closest. I don't want to think about how long it would take me to get to Lancaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackenbush Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I like this event too. Last year was on a Wednesday, and I missed it because the one nearby Chicago club with a Wednesday night game doesn't like to run special events. Fortunately it's on Thursday this year, and I'll be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take the Metrolink :( although I'm not sure they return that late, and I think you'd have to get to North Hollywood to pick it up. Regular partner can't play. Rats....

Perhaps by the Instant Matchpoint Game of 2025 there will be reliable transit from the Westside to the Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's taken me 45 minutes to get from Westwood to Beverly Hills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I haven't played this in so long. I won my first gold point ever in it, and it was pretty special because it was with my mom. I remember she let me play on a school night, and it was close to my birthday. Just looked it up 9/17/1997. Epic. My mom musta been really good lol.

cherdanno Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Driving an hour within the valley? I would get to every town in the state in that time!(Ok, maybe 90 min.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfay Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Well we had a totally righteous game going until 4 rounds (8 boards) to go... then kinda crashed and burned. We finished with 1454 matchpoints, or ~60.6%. If anyone else played it would be fun to discuss hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudH Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I need the hand record file from ACBL to support posting scores on a club website. For those of you that have access to the hand record file for the ACBL instant matchpoint game held earlier today (Thursday, September 16)..... The person at our club who had the email with the hand record files "lost it". Could someone email me one of the files in DUP, DLM, or LIN format to budh9534 at gmail dot com so that I can post the hand records for our club's results? Thanks in advance.

JLOGIC Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think we had 61 :(. Opps were good against us. We didn't really drop anything except for 1 board where I got us a cold zero. It went p p 2H X 3H X p ? and I passed and dummy tracked Kxxx KQxxx x xxx and declarer had a club void LOL. Pwned. I think this is my first non 70+ in my last 6 sessions, streak over lol, but I think we won a GOLD POINT (didn't see the final standings though).
