JanM Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 The USBC is holding a Junior Training & Trials Week in Atlanta at the end of the year (Dec. 28th - Jan. 2nd). The first 3 days will be training for the Juniors participating in the Trials, the final 3 days are the SemiFinals & Finals of the Junior USBC, which will select the US teams for the 2014 World Championships. The earlier stages of this event were held on BBO in October. There will be 10 Junior teams in Atlanta: 4 Under 26, 4 Under 21 and 2 Women under 26. They will play 48 boards a day in the event. Two teams in the U26 and U21 divisions and one in the Women's division will compete in the World Championships in Istanbul next year. We plan to show 4 or 6 tables each session on BBO Vugraph, and need a few more operators to do that. If you live in the Atlanta area and would be willing to be an operator, you'd be very much appreciated. We'll even pay you a little ($15 for each 12 board segment) to help cover expenses. We'll be having discussion sessions with the players after each day (all of the tables will probably play the same boards) and you will be welcome to come to those, so this will be an opportunity to learn from our expert mentors (Marty Fleisher, Barry Goren, Karen McCallum, Chip & Jan Martel, Debbie & Michael Rosenberg, Joe Stokes, Patty Tucker & Howard Weinstein), as well as from the commentators on BBO. If you'd be interested, please email me: marteljan at gmail dot com. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
