District
11 ACBL Director Report -
AJ Stephani:
Fall 2018 Honolulu, HI
district11director@acbl.org
Many people have asked about my trip to Hawaii for our Fall meetings; I often respond that a conference room in Honolulu looks much the same as a conference room in Omaha. We spend the better part of 4 days sitting in these conference rooms taking part in committee meetings, appeals of disciplinary hearings (there are 7 of us who serve on last year’s Appeals & Charges Committee, which is a little like the ACBL’s Supreme Court), and getting through the Board agenda. I voted against having our meetings in Honolulu, as we could have done the same thing in Horn Lake, MS (ACBL HQ is located there) for a lot less money. It IS convenient to have our meetings at the NABCs – many of us attend ACBL committee and ACBL-affiliated organizational meetings while we’re there. We also try to touch base with our teachers, club managers, patron members, directors, professional players, and other stakeholders within the ACBL. It’s just unfortunate that this particular opportunity, at a time when we can bear few unnecessary costs, was so expensive. As usual, I want to continue focusing on decisions that matter most to our players, but if you’re not interested in a particular item, feel free to skip to the next one. I also want to maintain an approach that balances the informational content (what did the Board decide?) with opinion (why did I vote a certain way?).

Cindy's Way - by Russell Shoup
We
here in Unit 136 (Miami Valley Bridge Association - Dayton) are happy to
celebrate our good friend Cindy VanVliet. Cindy made Life Master at the
Indianapolis Regional this year. With Mr. Brian VanVliet they placed 2nd in
the Compact Knockout early in the week. The WON the Gold Rush Pairs!
Finally they tied 3rd/4th in the Open 2-day Knockout Teams! Those 30+
Masterpoints put her over with a BANG! on Feb 3. To Cindy we dedicate this
tribute to out lM journey. Kathy Gerend-Mekingin of CIncinnati and I
co-produced this anthem -- performed a the Dayton Regional as the Gala
Finale showpiece on Feb 3, 1979 -- exactly 40 years before Cindy's success
(apologies to Frank Sinatra). My Way....

Calling all Directors & Players interested in the New Laws for Duplicate
Bridge. The
World Bridge Federation Laws Committee has published its official commentary
on the 2017 update to the Laws of Bridge. This 38 page publication is a
much simpler way to understand the intent and application of each law than
the current 157 page Laws of Duplicate Bridge. Note - since this is a WBF
publication there might be minor differences with ACBL regulations.
Neverless it is a great source to begin or further develop your
understanding of the Laws of Duplicate bridge.
