Most of our games are $3, and the small 750 games on Tuesday and Wednesday are $5. Having a $3 game requires some extra steps. We use some automation provided by bridgefinesse.com to set up our weekly tournaments, and they (Jay Whipple) feel that any VACB game should have a minimum card fee of $4/game. When the automation creates our tournaments, it increases the card fee from $3 to $4. In order to override that, Paula or I have to go in each morning before anyone registers for the game and change it back to $3. This past Friday, I forgot to do that. I haven't gotten back into my habits since taking over the day-to-day management for this month. I apologize for that. I'll be getting my habits back in order. :) Best regards, Mojo -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo <http://bridgemojo.com> Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers <http://otastro.org> Mojo's Blog <http://mojo.whiteoaks.com>
