  • Gitelman Is 2005 Honorary Member
    November 18-28, 2004 78th Fall North American Bridge Championships Daily Bulletin Orlando, Florida Volume 78, Number 6 Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Editors: Brent Manley and Henry Francis Gitelman is 2005 Honorary Member “If you’re not careful, bridge could ruin your life.” That’s the warning that Ted Horning gave Fred Gitelman many years ago. Gitelman ignored that advice, and now he is the 2005 Honorary ACBL Member of the Year. Gitelman is special. His bridge programs have made a major difference for hundreds of thousands of bridge players. He has been active in promoting Junior bridge. He is a talented writer. He has served on many important bridge committees. He has coached some of America’s international teams. And he’s a fine bridge player as well – he placed second in the 1995 Bermuda Bowl, for example. But this article isn’t about Gitelman’s’s accomplishments. It’s about Fred – the real Fred. Most bridge players have heard that Gitelman plays bridge with Bill Gates of Microsoft fame. How did that ever come about? Italy’s Lauria now Surprisingly it started with Warren Buffett, the internationally famous financial guru. One day Gitelman got a phone call from No. 1 in the world someone who said, “I really like your software.

    WORLD BRIDGE FEDERATION International Sport Federation (IF) recognized by the International Olympic Committee Message from the President of the World Bridge Federation, Mr Gianarrigo Rona On behalf of the WBF and personally I am very pleased to welcome all the participants to the 10th edition of the Women’s Online Bridge Festival, a great initiative of the Women’s Committee born by an idea of its dynamic Chairman Anna Maria Torlontano. This event is now held twice a year, in the Spring and Autumn and is a permanent and much enjoyed fixture within the WBF Calendar. It clearly demonstrates the development and the importance of the Women’s bridge inside the whole movement of our marvellous discipline. I am confident that players from all over the world will participate in these Festivals, ensuring their success and giving great pleasure not only to the participants, who have the opportunity to find again old friends and to meet the new ones, but also to the organizers who worked and are working with enthusiasm, passion and dedication. The WBF is proud to promote this event, which truly confirms that bridge is hobby, sport and culture and unifies the bridge players all over the world, and I am sure that the Zones and the NBOs will help Anna Maria and her colleagues on the Committee by publicising the event as widely as possible to their own members, giving them the chance of joining in a truly enjoyable Festival of Bridge. Un abbraccio Gianarrigo Rona WBF President Headquarters: Maison du Sport International – 54 av. de Rhodanie – 1007 Lausanne –Switzerland WORLD BRIDGE FEDERATION Page 2 .

  • 2013 Bali Set 1
    WORLD BRIDGE FEDERATION International Sport Federation (IF) recognized by the International Olympic Committee Minutes of the WBF Laws Committee Meeting Held in Bali, Indonesia on Thursday 19th September 2013 Present: Ton Kooijman (in the Chair) Laurie Kelso (Secretary) Max Bavin Maurizio Di Sacco Al Levy Jeff Polisner John Wignall Adam Wildavsky Apologies: Grattan Endicott Chip Martel William Schoder Guests: Georgia Heth, Tadayoshi Nakatani, Herman de Wael The meeting was called to order at 10.00am 1. The Chairman welcomed members and guests. He noted the recent loss to the committee of both Jaime Ortiz-Patiño (Chairman Emeritus) and Joan Gerard, and spoke of their past contributions. The absence of both Mr Schoder and Mr Endicott was also noted with regret. The committee was then informed of Mr Endicott’s intention to retire as Secretary. The Chairman went on to acknowledge Mr Endicott as an active and influential long-term Committee Secretary and member. He also foreshadowed the possibility of Mr Endicott retaining membership of the Laws Committee via a new honorary position. The Chairman then asked Mr Kelso to accept the position of Secretary and offered him the attendant privileges of a committee member. 2. Mr Kooijman reported that no real progress had been made in respect to the Laws of On-line Bridge and that matters were still pending. 3. Mr Levy reported that he and Roger Stern were continuing to liaise with the Portland Club’s representative (Giles Hargreave) in respect to the next edition of the Laws of Contract (Rubber) Bridge. He indicated that the global use of the word ‘rectification’ (as it appears in the current Laws of Duplicate Bridge) would not be mirrored in the Laws of Contract Bridge, as it was thought that a more selective use of both ‘penalty’ and ‘rectification’ would be more appropriate.

  • Robert "Bob" Hamman President and Founder
    Robert "Bob" Hamman President and Founder When he's not competing in national and international bridge tournaments, Bob Hamman - ranked the world's top bridge player in 1983, and from 1985 through 2004 - can be found inventing new promotional sweepstakes and gaming contests, and developing the mathematical models used to rate the risks and analyze the odds associated with large money promotions. Hamman, who founded SCA Promotions in 1986, has built the company into the world's largest provider of prize coverage for promotions, contests and games. He is behind many of the million dollar challenges seen at nationally televised sporting events, as well as the online lotteries and sweepstakes that have transformed the promotional industry in recent years. He has planted a $500,000 promotional prize in a Hershey's bar, guaranteed the performance bonuses of professional golfers and race car drivers, and covered prizes in fishing tournaments, fast-food restaurant chain contests, consumer products, scratch-and-win campaigns, casino jackpots, bingo, radio and television contests and even an olive-in-one toss into a martini. Prior to launching SCA Promotions, Hamman managed his own insurance brokerage firm, Hamman Group Insurance Services Inc. He has also spent the past four decades working as a professional bridge player. Arguably the best known name in bridge, Hamman has won 12 world championships, over 50 national championships and was named American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) player of the year three times. He was inducted into the ACBL Hall of Fame in 1999. A native of Los Angeles, Hamman moved to Dallas in 1969 when Ira Corn hired him to play on his professional bridge team, the Aces, which brought the world championship back to the U.S.
