Things from last Sunday's Unit Game: 1. Food I visited Costco and spent a bit over budget ($63) on food, but I felt like much of it would last for two games: Food Jan 23 Consumption: Chicken wraps: 100% Nutrigrain bars: 50% Hershey's nuggets: 30% Mandarin Orange cups: 50% Trail mix: 90% So I have lots to bring to the next game. I might just consider replenishing the trail mix and bringing two chicken wrap boxes. I don't mind making that Costco visit again. 2. Next game: February 13 is *Super Bowl Sunday*. Eek! Kickoff time is 3:30. Our game ends about 4:00 p.m. I don't have a good feel for bridge attendance up against the Super Bowl, but it could be affected, especially if the Rams win this weekend. 3. Seeding: Miriam, we need you to help seed games. :) Patrick seated 9 A-flight pairs NS and 1 EW. I'm not in a position to get involved in the seating before the game starts, and by then it's too late to change anything. (Best, of course, is to assign flights to tables: 1-B, 2-C, 3-A, 4-B, 5-C, etc. Spacing out the A tables.) I've been using Open/2000/750 as the strats, and it's pretty close to thirds. I'll be drafting the SCBN column for the unit later today, so it'll be Feb. 13 for the next game, unless we can communicate differently quickly.

I agree with the seeding issue, Mojo but you know those north south’s will raise a fuss. But it should be done to mix up the levels Sent from my iPhone

1. I have been thinking about the Feb 13 conflict and would love to have the date changed. It bodes to be a very lightly-attended game.2. Of the 11 pairs I (not Patrick who was following my chart) placed NS, 9 specifically asked for it due to moving issues. Do I tell any of them that it cannot be done? As I told Jan, I will be very careful in filling any unspecified pair placements from now on. -----Original Message----- From: Morris Jones <mojo@bridgemojo.com> To: Unit 559 Board <unit559board@bridgemojo.com> Sent: Wed, Jan 26, 2022 3:00 pm Subject: [Unit559board] unit game notes Things from last Sunday's Unit Game: 1.

Karmen was signed up but perhaps you two could coordinate. Treats looked appealing and nutritious, (most).
