Win silver points at your local club

  District 8 Silver Point Sectional
      October 31 - November 6, 2011

Plan now to play in your local club the week of October 31 in District 8’s annual Silver Point Sectional-Tournament-at-Clubs (STAC). All club games this week can award sectional silver points to winners and runners-up in three flights.

Masterpoint awards: The STAC event offers 18 different sessions -- morning, afternoon and evening each day. In addition to the silver-point section awards at each site, each session will be scored across the District for overall awards. 

Stratification: Open Pair games will have three strata — A: 1500+;  B: 0-1500;  and C: 0-500 (includes Life Masters with 300-500 masterpoints). Pair games of 3 tables or more will qualify for District-wide overall ranking. Clubs can also run Swiss teams and novice/intermediate pair games.

Entry fees: Sanction fee is $6 per table, so expect to pay an extra $1.50 over your club’s regular entry fee. Proceeds help fund the Advocate newsletter, the District finals of the North American Pairs and Grand National Teams, and other District 8 activities.

Club managers:  You must pre-register for STAC sessions on the ACBL web site. Go to  http://www.acbl.org/stac/Stac_Contact_info.php?tnum=1111078  and fill out the online form (click the "Add line" button to register multiple sessions).  Detailed instructions are here.

Online results:  District-wide results from each session will be updated on the STAC website:  http://www.acbl.org/stac/stac_results.php?sid=1111078
