March 15-March 25, 2001 Kansas City, Missouri 44th Spring North American Bridge Championships

Vol. 44, No. 4 Monday, March 19, 2001 Editors: Henry Francis and Jody Latham New Vanderbilt plan is all knockout play A new method of setting up first-round play in the Vanderbilt was used yesterday. In the past, three- way matches were used to reduce the field to a work- able number (a power of 2). There are inherent flaws in three-way matches. The new method utilizes head- to-head matches all the way. Yesterday there were 97 teams entered in the event. The #1 seed, the Nickell team, was given a bye. Then 15 groups of four teams were set up. Two teams in each four-team group played head-to-head for 32 boards. The winners automatically qualified for the second round and had the evening off. The losers in Longtime friends (from left) Tarek Radjef, Charles Weed each group played a 32- match against each and John Fisher are here at the Kansas City NABC. other, with the winner advancing and the loser elimi- nated. As a result, 45 of the 60 teams advanced. The remaining 36 teams played head-to-head 64- Welcome back, board matches, with the 18 winners advancing.
