2022 Penticton Regional: Friday, June 17

ALERT: Saturday's Start Times are DIFFERENT: 10am and 3pm; there is NO evening session.

Less sleep time means a little less new stuff today, sorry. 12MB of photos were sent last night in the wee hours, but I may need to hold over any received tonight and add them in on Saturday.

June 17 Historical Headlines (from Wikipedia)

Can you fill in the blanks and then put them into the correct chronological order? (Answers at the bottom of the page...)

Five White House operatives are arrested for burgling the offices of the Democratic National Committee in the [blank] hotel complex in Washington
Mumtaz Mahal dies during childbirth; her husband spends the next 17 years building her mausoleum, the [blank].
The [blank], a gift from the people of France, arrives in New York Harbor.
The [blank], in the process of being built to connect Vancouver and North Vancouver (Canada), collapses into the Burrard Inlet killing 18 ironworkers and injuring others.
The opening of the first Soccer World Cup in the U.S., the final round played by Arnold Palmer in the US Open, the victory parade for the Stanley Cup winning New York Rangers, Ken Griffey tying Babe Ruth's record for most home runs before June 30 while the baseball season was threatened by an impending player's strike, the fifth game of the NBA finals between Houston and the New York Knicks, all are completely overshadowed by the eventual arrest of [blank] for murder.

Attendance So Far

1280½ tables at the end of Friday, 51.8% of the 2019 total. For full details, check out the new Table Counts page!

Bridge clubs and tournaments throughout the ACBL are struggling with returning to live play, so comparing this tournament's attendance to one before the pandemic is not really fair. We'll be happy if the tournament hits 50% of the 2019 table count of 3217½ tables (so 1609 is the target number; current pace 1723).

Masterpoint Leaders thru Friday Evening

Should be close but may be slightly off....

Directors have been instructed to recalculate the first overall awards to add a 20% bonus but ACBLscore has issues and sometimes changes it back as files get passed about. This may not be free of small errors but should be pretty close.

Evening Side Game Series Overalls

Winners: Sally Craig, Edgar L'Heureux

McB-blurb

Overall awards in the Evening, after 5 completed sessions. Scores are based on the sum (in percent) of an individuals two best games, even if played with different partners. Side Game overall awards are in gold points and replace the points you won in individual games in the series. But if you played several games and got masterpoints, that sum may be higher than your overall award, and you would get the overall award in gold points and the rest of your sum in red points.
