2024 Puget Sound Regional: Table Counts

On a computer, to reduce the size of the table to fit your screen, type CNTRL + [minus key]. CNTRL + 0 goes back to the original size. Hover the mouse over a cell in the table to see the attendance for that event in August 2023, as closely as we can match the 2024 schedule with the 2023 one. On a tablet or phone screen, these mouse-hover features will not be supported as well in a touch/tap environment.

For events with strat limits, all players on a pair or team must be below the strat limit for the event, even if the pair or team average is below the limit.

All knockout team events are played Soloway-style, with teams playing short matches against all or most other teams in their bracket to reduce to four teams for the semifinals in the penultimate session. In most cases, semifinalists will be required to play both sessions win or lose on the final day.

Side Games are part of three groups (Morning, Afternoon and Evening) but can be entered at any time. The Evening Semi-Fast Side Game Series begins with a Monday Night Charity Pairs and continues with four more Semi-Fast games, 6 minutes per board, done by 10pm.

The comparison tournament in the figures at the bottom is the August 2023 Puget Sound Regional, where start times were different than this year's version.

A new feature: a cell with a number preceded by an 'x' is the expected number of tables in a continuing event, but not yet counted towards attendance (until it actually happens, of course!)

Bridge continues to recover after the pandemic/lockdown, so if we can manage 60% of the 2019 total, 771½ tables, that would be an excellent attendance.
