2022 Penticton Regional: Wednesday, June 15

Results and Masterpoints Delayed

Still catching up after a file was left in the office, but most of the results are below. I'll work on the missing Round-Robin Teams and fill out a little more interesting details during the dinner break.



June 15 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...)


Attendance So Far

689½ tables at the end of Wednesday, 50.6% 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 Wednesday Evening

Finally! (Could be short....)

The 20% increase to overall awards, and ACBLscore's tendency in resetting it back to the original award when you do things that should not affect it, may mean this is not 100% accurate, but it is the best we have at this point...
