I've started a waiting list for the Saturday 10:00 AM Open Pairs, with
19 tables reserved.
Nancy Lyons and Betsy Josias are on the waiting list.
3:00 PM Saturday has 18.5 tables right now.
I suspect we'll have a cancellation, so it might not matter. I also have
to consider adding a table in the hallway. I'll have to talk to John
Coulombe about that when he's here on Thursday.
(Doing fine in Toronto. Home Monday night.)

I have read and absorbed all the various opinions on charging more for non-ACBL members for our sectional.
Our sectional is in 10 days and we did not discuss this before advertising it. In my humble opinion, it is too late to change the parameters, whatever we may FEEL. So i suggest we leave it as it is and next year, that Board can decide what it would like to do and advertise it as such.

Alas I'm unprepared to answer this question!
We should either require ACBL membership, or charge $18 or so for
non-ACBL members.

Hi,
The flyer didn't mention whether or not someone who isn't an ACBL member
can participate in the tournament or not. Please let me know as it
might determine my partner for one of the days.

Besides, if we charge $18 for non-members is that really going to have an effect on our income? You know the answer… Do we need those extra couple of dollars at the cost of being non-welcoming? If the board votes to charge extra for non-members please send me the bill and I will send you a check for the amount of the overage, but Friends, let’s not be petty.

I’ve played bridge more than half my life. The lesser half I wasted.
Does the flyer need to be updated?

Well there's the matter of entering your ACBL Player Number on the entry or into the Bridgemate, and the director's member database will be current.

All the Tournaments I’ve been to charge a $4 fee for non ACBL members, but how do they know unless the person is honest upfront, as you aren’t required to prove it when you register.

Do you think there will be many non-acbl entrants?

It's time to get out a widely circulated publicity email about the
sectional.
At Adam's urging, I created a reservation form that doesn't involve
RSVP. I asked some people to try it a few days ago, but got not takers.
Use this link for people to make reservations:
https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/sectional_reservation
Please help me test the form by making a fake reservation. (You can tell
me it's fake in the message part.)
When you send the email on Pianola, don't just send it to our unit! Send
it to a 75 mile radius. People travel for sectionals.
