Plan now to play in your local club the week of October 27 in District 8’s annual 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 12 different sessions -- a day and an evening session on each weekday, plus day-only sessions on Saturday and Sunday. 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: Non-Life Master (0-500). Clubs can also run stratified novice pairs and victory-point team 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.
Online results: District-wide results from each session will be updated on the STAC website: http://mikesbridge.info/district_8_stac.htm
