NEW at Bridge at Ginger Creek
Karen Walker
Last night, the Monday club participated in the "Common Game" --
an event similar to an ACBLwide game, but there are no nationwide
masterpoint awards (and no extra fees). We plan to do this on
Mondays for the next few months and will make it permanent if
players like it.
More than 400 pairs at 56 clubs throughout the country played the
same hands last night. The Common Game merges all these results
and ranks the field in three groups -- North-South, East-West and
"Howellers" (one-winner movements).
The CG web site is a great learning resource because it provides
LOTS of details about what you and other pairs did on each hand.
Here's the page for Monday night:
http://thecommongame.com/PHPPOSTCGS.php?options=ClioLatestGame&gametype=open&gamemode=nite
Scroll down the page to see the Howell winners, hand diagrams and
nationwide distribution of results. Later today, this page will
also include expert analysis and instructional tips for selected
hands.
You might have noticed that our old friend John Brandeberry was
the winner of last night's game. He scored 71.67% playing at the
Garden City club in Montana.
After every CG session, you'll receive an immediate email if your address is on file with ACBL. If ACBL doesn't have your address, you can still receive the CG emails. Just send an email with your ACBL # (typed in subject line) to FastResul...@gmail.com . (No need for any message in the message body.)
Below is a sample of the CG email. This one was for Mike
Halvorsen after he played in the Monday, April 23 game. It
includes links to:
* Our club web page (click the calendar at the top -- or go to
http://calendar.kwbridge.com -- to see just our club results)
* Personal results -- hand diagrams, contract and result on
each board, % of matchpoints at the club, % of matchpoints vs. the
entire CG field, and the difference between the two. Click the

* Personal CG Home Page -- more information about your
attendance, results and the boards you played.
