Daily Bulletin Friday, July 21, 2017 Page 3 JUST FOR NEW PLAYERS Tips to improve your game - Part 1 By Brent Manley

Peace and harmony I started writing this series for the Daily Bulletin at the 2012 Fall NABC in San Francisco. In that first entry, I included a funny story relating to bridge as a reminder that bridge is supposed to be fun. I eventually ran out of those stories, but I’m still starting off by urging you to make enjoyment your primary objective. It is my firm belief that achieving that goal begins with your commitment to being a good partner. I have played bridge for more than four decades and I have been on both sides of the partnership experience – good and bad. When it finally dawned on me that good partnership is paramount and I started conducting myself accordingly, my enjoyment of the game increased markedly. So did world, giving me a chance to observe dozens of I will never play as well as these champions, that of my partners – and both of us played better. world-class players in action. There are, of course, but I can emulate them in partnership skills and I’m Think about it. Will your partner’s differences in systems and style of play, but one committed to that. If you do the same, I assure you concentration and confidence improve if your consistent aspect of play I have noted is that, with that you will enjoy bridge for a long time. reaction to an error is scolding? Will the emotion of rare exceptions, the top players are good partners. anger improve your focus? One of my idols in bridge is Bob Hamman, one Look at it the other way.

Unless otherwise noted: Three-flight open events are stratified as A/X (5000+/0–5000), B/C (1500–3000/0–1500) and Gold Rush (300–750/0–300). Two-flight open events are stratified as A/B/C (3000+/1500–3000/0–1500) and Gold Rush (500–750/200–500/0–200) or as A/X/Y (5000+/4000–5000/0–4000) and B/C/D (1500–3000/750–1500/0–750) if there is no Gold Rush. One-flight open events are stratified as A (3000+), B (750–3000) and C (0–750). Stratification is based on averaging the masterpoints of a pair or team. Eligibility for limited events will be based on the point holding of the highest player, so no player with more than 3000 may play in B/C events nor the Bracketed B Teams, no player with more than 750 may play in Gold Rush events, and no player with more than 300 may play in 299er events. BOLD, UPPER CASE = NABC+ events. UPPER CASE = NABC events. *Members whose dues payment is current and Life Masters whose service fee payment is current. **International Fund In NABC+ events, $2 CDN (per person, per session) of each entry fee will be allocated to the ACBL International Fund. These funds are used to underwrite part of the expenses of ACBL players who participate in international competition. Page 20 Friday, July 21, 2017 Daily Bulletin

Unless otherwise noted: Three-flight open events are stratified as A/X (5000+/0–5000), B/C (1500–3000/0–1500) and Gold Rush (300–750/0–300). Two-flight open events are stratified as A/B/C (3000+/1500–3000/0–1500) and Gold Rush (500–750/200–500/0–200) or as A/X/Y (5000+/4000–5000/0–4000) and B/C/D (1500–3000/750–1500/0–750) if there is no Gold Rush. One-flight open events are stratified as A (3000+), B (750–3000) and C (0–750).Stratification is based on averaging the masterpoints of a pair or team. Eligibility for limited events will be based on the point holding of the highest player, so no player with more than 3000 may play in B/C events nor the Bracketed B Teams, no player with more than 750 may play in Gold Rush events, and no player with more than 300 may play in 299er events.
