We were requested to look into several items, one of those the VIP scale. The idea was to have ‘every IMP count’. We appointed a committee which designed a new scale. Basically we changed the old scale (25-5) to a new scale (20-0). To have every IMP count it was necessary to make use of decimals. It is hard to say if this new way of scoring is really better. You could discuss the subject for a week so to speak. What we do know is that the new scale – the Continuous scale – is mathematically correct. And of course the players have to get used to it. But they will be supported by sheets and computers in order to know their results fast. The bridge world is not completely new to the new scale. The ACBL has used a scale with quite a few similarities to the Continuous Scale for a long period of time. Note from the author The new scale is already in use in the round robin matches of Zonal Championships leading to the 2013 World Bridge Championships at Bali. The method was tested in this year’s Yeh Bros Cup as well and will also be used in the round robin matches of the teams events in Ostend. IMPORTANT NOTICE Please note that the play-off Open and Closed Rooms will now be in Forum 1 (B2 level). The Vu-graph remains in Victoria Rooms 4 & 5 (3/F).

Points refer to a total value of a hand, including shape. HCP refers only to a hand’s high-card points. A natural suited bid shows 4+ cards in its suit. A natural notrump bid shows a desire to play in notrump. A non-natural bid is called an artificial bid. A convention is a commonly used artificial bid that has been given a name. Conventions are not part of Standard American, but many are commonly or nearly-universally played. A forcing bid demands a bid from partner if the next opponent passes. A forcing bid is also known as one- round-forcing. A signoff is a bid that strongly requests a pass or correction to another suit shown by the player signing off. Partner normally may not make a bid in any suit not shown by the signing-off player. A signoff usually occurs when the captain of the auction places the final contract. An invitational bid communicates that the partnership should bid a game unless partner has very minimal strength for previous actions. A game-forcing bid means that the partnership cannot play any contract below 3NT.

Gerry Radway, Margie Spence and their committee put together a wonderful event. The Valley Forge regional was smaller than we had hoped for, but has a great new venue. The Dolce Valley Forge and its staff were very accommodating. As Carole King once said, I felt the earth move under my feet. Tuesday’s earthquake was a bit scary for those of us who had never experienced one before, but the bridge went on. Continuing with the 70’s music theme, Gloria Gaynor wrote “I will survive”. Unfortunately, the tournament didn’t survive Hurricane Irene. Out of an abundance of caution, the District 4 Board voted to cancel Saturday night and Sunday bridge sessions based on information available at the time. I look forward to seeing you all in Lancaster.
