Hi, I guess you might want to know why I play duplicate Bridge!
well the answer is! This is my hobby. I play bridge because it is my substitute for my sporting days and competition in them has gone the way of the dinosaurs. However I love to follow them on TV or go to live sporting events when i am able to!

I play duplicate bridge on the weekends just about every week of the year.
Sometimes I play tournaments on some weekends., and I use my vacation to set up my bridge tournament activity.

This following week 4-13-09 thru 4-20-09 we have a tournament in Gatlinburg Tenn. It is one of our most popular tournaments of the year in the ACBL.

The ACBL standing for the organization that gives us master points for placing well in a tournament session(s).

The ACBL stands for American Contract Bridge League.

You receive a ACBL magazine monthly with a page showing your current Masterpoint ratings and or points gained oveer the last Month. There also is aw ebsite where you cango to see results of tournaments or your avccount information. Here is the website for the ACBL below : if you are interested click on it and visit the website for more info.

To explain duplicate bridge there are 2 directions people sit at the time. you have 1 pair (2 players) for each direction for each table involved in the session.
A pair is either North-South or East-West, signified bty the table no 1 thru the total no's of tables
playing in the session or event; as an example 1N-S or or 7 E-W. I can explain more specifically,
If you have any questions, please follow the blog and comment and leave your blog for comment for me and I will be glad to answer any and all questions
have a great day
Thanks,
In His Service
