Special online bridge events for January - February
by Morris Jones 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

The ACBL has announced some new special events for the coming year. It's safe to say that a few more folks are trying to stay out of the path of the latest variant, so here are a few last special online events. Let's hope that this is just about the end of such things! *January 6-9*: Junior Fund games, 2x regular club points, extra $1 per entry *January 17 - 23*: Silver Linings Week, 2x regular club points, all silver, extra $1 per entry *February 12-13*: Valentine's Weekend, 2x regular club points, 50% red 50% black, no extra charge! *February 21-27*: Educational Foundation Week, 2x regular club points, black points, extra $1 per entry Also of note: Currently online virtual club games (vacb) pay 125% of regular club games. That multiplier will drop to 100% after the New Year's weekend, on January 3. Finally, I'll be turning the day-to-day management of the "Unit 556 + Pasadena Pomona Downey" virtual bridge club back over to Paula Olivares as of the first of the year. It's been a pleasure, and I'll still be here directing some games and setting up new classes both online and in-person in the coming year.
