New Tournaments for 2015

It's 2015, and we're excited at seeing you at some of this year's upcoming tournaments.

First up is the Sweetheart Sectional, at Vasa Park from February 13 to 15. This features our once-a-year 1-session BAM, along with a Swiss and plenty of pairs events.

Next is our Newcomer's Sectional, which is March 8 to 9 at North Seattle College. This event is specifically held for newer bridge players, and no player who has attained the rank of Life Master is eligible. There are events for everyone here. If you haven't been to a bridge tournament before, this is the one to start with.

Over Memorial Weekend we have our longest tournament of the year: the Knockout Sectional. This year it is Kent Commons from May 22 to 25. This is a great event to compete as a team; we are offering a two day knockout and a one day board-a-match event.

You can find details on the tournaments at the links above. If you have any questions please let us know.

Yarington Wins Flight A Round Robin

The team captained by Dick Yarington (Kevin Bolan, Bill O'Brien, John Schermer, Ken Scholes, Leo Schwartz, Dick Yarington) won the Round Robin final 125-59 against the team captained by Kim Eng (John Aslin, Kim Eng, Jeff Ford, Paul Schwaighart, David Taylor). This is the ninth consecutive year the Yarington team has won the event.

Fuhrman wins Flight B Round Robin

Congratulations to the winners of the Flight B Round Robin: Cliff Marx, Dex Stuberg, Galen Hessen, John Massman, Bill Campbell, and Joel Fuhrman.

August / September SUN and Elections

In case you haven't noticed, the latest SUN is available.

Included is information about elections for the unit board and district board. We are always looking for good people to help with the work we do. Details for how to run are in the latest SUN. Note that the filing deadline is the end of August.

New document on disciplinary procedures

Our district recorder and our district disciplinary chairman are both from the Seattle unit. Together they created a new document to make it easier to know what to do when there is bad behavior (either impolite behavior or unethical behavior) at the bridge table. 

We hope that the information here is never needed, but if you ever find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, following the procedures recommended in the document is the best way to keep things from getting worse.

Come to our Knock-Out Sectional in May

Every year on Memorial Day Weekend the Seattle Unit holds a four-day sectional. This includes two of our once-a-year team events: bracketed knockouts and two-session board-a-match. We hope you can join us for some or all of the tournament from May 23-26. More details.
