District 8 Silver Point Sectional
October 29-November 4, 2018
Plan now to play in your local club the week of October 30 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: 2000+; B: 0-2000; C: 0-750. 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 $7 per table, so expect to pay an extra $1.75 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://tournaments.acbl.org/schedule.php?sanction=1811051 . Click "Registration Form" and fill out the online form (click the "Add line" button to register multiple sessions).
Game sites: A list of participating clubs is here. Call your club manager for details on the STAC games in your area. If you have other questions, call or write the director or chairman.
