Swiss Teams

As a new director of the Oxford Duplicate Bridge Club, I decided that besides the website for the club (located here) I would have an annual event for team play. I made a flyer for it and everything. At first, I decided to hold it on a Sunday and May 18th was the only Sunday in May that would be appropriate as the 11th would've been Graduation weekend (in a college town, you can't really do anything during that weekend) and the 25th is the beginning of the SEC baseball tournament (in Alabama, but most of the bridge players here are Ole Miss fans).

Then I found out that the larger nearby club has a game on Sunday (a regular club game), and that it would be difficult to convince the players from that club to participate in our special event. So I relented and moved it to Saturday as they do not have a game on Saturdays. However, there is another event in Winona, MS concerning the Ace of Clubs and Mini-McKenney awards on Saturday, May 17th. This time, I have no other time to move to. We'll see how many teams sign up to play. Meg and I want to play, and personally I would enjoy having George/Tina as teammates (who wouldn't, they're really good) or Ann/Sylvia (who do very well at our club for being 299ers). I also think David H. would be good, but he has no regular partner. We'll see how that goes.

Also, the system that David H and I were going to play will have to wait as both of us are finishing our college courses this next week with final exams and whatnot. Boo.
