You do win at bridge. Or at least we did some winning. This was district level competition so all of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and most of Tennessee and part a Alabama. We made it to the flight b (essentially those who have played enough to be ranked at life master, but not the players who have achieved the very high ranking status) semi-final round before getting knock out so we tried for 3rd/4th. Not too shabby. We got a nice master point award.
I am back but suffering from intermittent Internet outages so posting may be hit and miss for a bit. Their are supposedly techs out there working on the problem.
