Request For Help
As you may know, the unit owns a trailer that holds our card tables and other tournament supplies. After many years of service (thanks!), the Grossmans are ready to retire from the responsibility of storing the trailer and transporting it to and from tournaments. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to store the trailer between tournaments and to drive it to and from the tournament sites. (This requires owning a suitable vehicle as the unit does not own one.)
If you are willing to help with either storage or transport (or both), please contact the unit board at sbuboard@lists.kence.org. Of course mileage and other expenses would be reimbursed.
New Web Feature
Reminder! Bookmark http://bridgefinesse.com/Chart. Type in your name (or any bridge player) and you will get links to photos of that person from all of Jonathon Steinberg's photo albums. Also the player's masterpoint bridge history, for the last year or so- all in a node map. Plus much more in the future.

Everyone has good days and bad days. But everyone has an average level of play. When I find Power Ratings for everyone player that I have data for, about 166,000 players, I prove they are correct by using this formula. Only players who meet the minimum requirements are considered rated and can be found in the Power Rating leader tables. You need 11 games with rated partners other than your favorite partner, (the rated partner you have the most games with).

New NABC On-Line Partnership Desk is Up and Running!
 One of the ACBL's web programming gurus has created an alternative to replace Hipard’s on-line partnership desk. It is in a different format than Hipard's, but, we hope you will find it to be just as user friendly. To begin using the new on-line partnership desk, you will need to first register, by creating a username and password, as you did before. Once logged in, you will choose the masterpoint range and post the event(s) in which you need a partner. After you register, you can also look through those that have already posted. Please click Here -->> to go directly to the new on-line partnership desk.
