0-10,000 KO Pre-registration

Teams must pre-register for the 0–10,000 Knockout Teams by Monday at 10 a.m.

See Curtis Patrias in the Silver Leagacy, Expo Hall (lower level).

Team event feesEntry fees for multi-session team events are per

person per session; This does not apply to two-session Swiss teams.

This fee structure applies at NABCs to national rated knockouts (Vanderbilt, 0–10,000 KO), national Swiss team events (Jacoby Open Swiss, Machlin Women’s Swiss and 0–10,000 Swiss) and regional knockouts that are at least two days long.

Teams are charged the base price of the event times the number of persons on the team.

For example, an event with a base price of $16 is $64 for a team of four, $80 for a team of five, or $96 for a team of six.

“The letters of the alphabet are only 26. But they can be arranged in ways that can make you cry, giggle, love, have, wonder, ponder and understand.”

This sentence is written on the wall of the Reno McQueen High School’s library. On Friday afternoon, that room hosted a bridge tournament dedicated to the students of the Reno Youth Bridge program.

At the end of their regular school day, about 30 kids walked into the library wearing colorful sweatshirts and the typical Friday afternoon smiles.

“When I tell my friends that on Friday night I like playing bridge, they look at me as if I was a Martian!” says Emma, 17 years old. After high school, she will move to Washington to attend college. Her plans are to start a career in international relations and public health, but she

also sees more bridge in her future.“Bridge is such a wonderful game. It teaches

you how to think,” says Matt, also 17, a future computer scientist.

Someone asks, “Matt, do you know that at bridge tournaments you could meet Bill Gates?” Suddenly his eyes become really big.

While the teacher distributes the pre-dealt

RYB owner and instructor Kathy Lane offers guidance to high school club players.

Gianarrigo Roma

The turmoil over the explosion of cheating allegations in the bridge world last year may have ebbed to an extent, but World Bridge Federation President Gianarrigo Rona knows the issue is far from settled.

For starters, there are still hearings on three pairs who are either suspected of cheating or have confessed to doing so. The hearings, to be conducted by the European Bridge League, are scheduled for April and May.

Leading up to those hearings and beyond, Rona will be traveling the world to try to recruit the 124 member countries of the WBF to join the war on unethical behavior at the bridge table. The plans include revealing new methods for safeguarding the game. One of his first trips will be to South America, where he will conduct a seminar on

WBF President: policing the game ‘not a simple thing’methods now in development to prevent, detect and prove wrongdoing at the bridge table.

For example, Rona foresees a time when every playing card will have a chip embedded to allow for a complete record of every play. Every bid and play will be captured on video.

The WBF and many national bridge organizations have for years used only “symmetrical” playing cards, designed to look the same no matter how they are positioned.

What the WBF and national bridge organizations need the most to combat unethical behavior is evidence, Rona says.

The WBF has set up a hotline on its website continued on page 6

Key of Sacramento CA and Glenna Cook of San Mateo CA. Beneviste needed 2.13 gold points but earned 8.18 in the KO.

Wes Seitz of Champaign IL became a Life Master playing in the Saturday Flight B Pairs. He and partner Bill Strauss of Urbana IL finished seventh overall to earn 7.3 gold points. He needed only three points of any pigment to earn his gold card.

On arriving at the Spring NABC, Doris Neilson Hoff of Sacramento CA needed less than one masterpoint to become a Bronze Life Master. Her husband will join her in the Bronze LM ranks.

Toby McEvoy struck gold on Sunday. He came to Reno needing 4.69 points and mined 5.37 in the Gold Rush Swiss.

McEvoy, from Hendersonville NV played with Christopher Hahn, also from Henderson. They played with Liz Hamilton and Rolf Houtkooper from Las Vegas.

JUST FOR NEW PLAYERSDuplicate protocols

– part 2By Brent Manley

This happened at a club game. West opened 1♦, East bid 1♥. West rebid 2NT and West bid 3♣, Alerted by West, who then bid 3NT. When asked the meaning of the Alert, West said it was a natural bid but her partner might have meant something different. The opponent, Fred Weidman of Oakland NJ, said a natural bid didn’t need an Alert. Said West: “Well, I Alerted in case I shouldn’t have.”

I strongly recommend getting into the habit of counting your cards after you take them from the board. If you find that you have too many or too few cards, you can take care of the issue efficiently by calling the director. He or she usually will go to the table where the board had just been played and make a search. If the card is found, no problem. If the missing card isn’t found and hand records are in use, the director can determine which card you are missing and get that card from another board or deck. All is well.

If you fail to count the cards and later find that one is missing, the director may be able to find it, but you might end up with a penalty.

Say the opponents were playing 4♥ and you thought you started with two low clubs. Say declarer plays three rounds of clubs and you ruff. When you notice near the end that you are short

one card, you will call the director. If the director finds your missing card and it’s a club, you have revoked.

Because you, not your partner, won the trick on which you revoked, if your side won any subsequent tricks, you owe the opponents two tricks. Even if your side didn’t win the revoke trick or your partner won it instead of you, if your side won any tricks after that, you will forfeit a trick to the opponents. On occasion, you will forfeit even more tricks, but that’s a discussion for another day.

Another aspect of duplicate that can seem tricky at first is the use of bidding boxes. I remember when bidding boxes were introduced at the club in Memphis many years ago. Some of the players objected to them, but it wasn’t long before everyone realized how much the devices improved the game.

With the bidding cards on the table until the auction is over, there is no need to ask for a review. The game is quieter. No longer do you hear an excited player almost shout a bid of 7NT or make a loud penalty double.

Care and attention are needed, however, in the use of the bidding boxes. It is not unusual for a person to intend to take a particular card from the bidding box but accidentally pick a different card. If the bidder notices the mistake before his partner has called, the bid can be changed.

This is different from selecting a card, putting it down and then changing your mind. In

that case, you are stuck with your bid.This is analogous to the situation where

you lead from hand up to a holding of A-Q-x in dummy. You are planning to play the queen and in fact call for the queen before you notice that your left-hand opponent has played the king. If you said “queen” before you noticed, you are stuck with that play.

Tomorrow: More duplicate practices

What can go wrong?By Eddie Kantar

Dlr: West ♠ 3 2 Vul: N-S ♥ J 8 4 3 ♦ J 7 6 4 3 ♣ K 8

(1) 15-17(2) Transfer to heartsOpening lead: ♥A You are playing in a pairs event. East signals

encouragement with the ♥7 and West continues with the ♥K, East playing the ♥3. Would your plan for this contract be any different at IMP scoring?

Kailee Betts from Reno was part of a small group from Reno Youth Bridge who came to play on Saturday. Unfortunately, it was a group of five, and the game turned out to be a one-table affair, leaving someone without a seat. Next door, the Gold Rush was getting underway, there was an inconvenient half table and Bruce Thornburgh, in town from Boise ID, still needed a partner. Bruce and Kailee joined forces. They so enjoyed playing the first session that, although they were obligated only for the one session, they returned after the break to play the second set. Two of Kailee’s RYB friends were so inspired by Kailee that, instead of leaving after the first session, they made it two, too.

This contract should be played identically at either form of scoring.

The danger is that West has the outstanding three trumps, and after you ruff the ♥K at trick two and lead the ♠K, West will win, get an encouraging diamond discard from East and underlead his likely ♦A to East’s king. Now a third heart from East promotes West’s ♠10 to the setting trick.

The answer is to discard the ♦8 at trick two. Now West cannot get East in for a heart play to promote his ♠10. You wind up living happily ever after, losing two hearts and a spade rather than one heart, one diamond and two spades! The full deal: ♠ 3 2 ♥ J 8 4 3 ♦ J 7 6 4 3 ♣ K 8 ♠ A 10 5 ♠ — ♥ A K ♥ Q 10 9 7 6 2 ♦ A Q 5 2 ♦ K 10 9 ♣ 9 7 6 4 ♣ J 10 3 2 ♠ K Q J 9 8 7 6 4 ♥ 5 ♦ 8 ♣ A Q 5

Alfredo’s latest artworkBy Francesca Canali

“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” (Pablo Picasso)

User discretion is advised. Do not (yet) try this at your local club.

The final of the Friday-Saturday KO Bracket 1 was thrilling. Team Cayne (James Cayne, Lorenzo Lauria, Michael Seamon, Antonio Sementa, Mustafa Cem Tokay, Alfredo Versace) won by 7 IMPs over team Schwartz (Richard Schwartz, Huub Bertens, Boye Brogeland, Allan Graves, Daniel Korbel, Espen Lindqvist).

A board from the final set made the difference. West North East South Versace Korbel Lauria Bertens 1♥ Pass 2♣ (1) Pass 3♦ (2) Pass 3NT Pass 5♣ All pass

a bridge artist’s mind? Let’s go.Alfredo: “Dummy is very likely to be strong,

with five cards in hearts and five cards in clubs, including the ace and king. That’s to say that I can’t see more than these two aces for us. I have to create a trick.”

Alfredo quickly led a low club.Obviously, declarer could not figure out what

was happening (how could he think of a lead from the queen of trumps??). After that lead, Bertens did not try a finesse he was sure would lose. Instead, he cashed the top clubs . . .down one. The full deal: Dlr: North ♠ 7 3 Vul: None ♥ A 10 7 5 3 ♦ 8 ♣ A K J 8 4 ♠ A 10 ♠ 9 8 6 5 4 2 ♥ 8 4 ♥ Q J 9 ♦ A 7 4 3 2 ♦ 10 9 5 ♣ Q 7 5 2 ♣ 6 ♠ K Q J ♥ K 6 2 ♦ K Q J 6 ♣ 10 9 3

That was 10 IMPs for Alfredo’s team because in the other room Sementa - Tokay played 3NT, making.

The touch of the artist was instrumental in taking team Cayne to the victory.

Friday afternoon

boards together with some fresh fruit, Emma tells about her favorite bridge memory: “I won an open tournament… You know, I said ‘open’ – everybody could play. I was second, when luckily my opponent passed on his partner’s splinter bid!”

According to Emma, there are plenty of didactic priorities in bridge before learning not to rejoice at an opponent’s mistake. “You can get better and better and this is what I want to do! I wish I could be part of the national team, one day.”

“So who is your favorite bridge champion?”“I don’t know any. Should I?”When the bridge stars of the library start

playing, their smiles become laughs. The atmosphere becomes really enchanting (you know it). So, more students who are just there for the books come near the tables. One of the young players starts to explain the rules to the kibitzers, jumping directly to: “Don’t lead the opponent’s suit, even if they haven’t bid it.”

In the meanwhile, hot pizza provided by the teachers arrives.

“I won a trophy, too” says Matt. He keeps it in his room, next to the cups of his soccer victories and the Boy Scout awards.

“Matt, do you know that besides seeing Bill Gates in a bridge tournament, you could also meet … well, his parents play bridge, so you could actually meet Mark Zuckerberg?” Eyes becoming even bigger.

Emma tells about her experience at the last Youth NABC in Chicago: “That was wonderful. Bridge is so challenging. I met people from all the parts of the United States and also from many other parts of the world. I made connections. This is amazing.”

Yes, it is. So shouldn’t we borrow the library’s quote?

“The cards of the board are only 52. But they can be arranged in ways that can make you cry, giggle, love, have, wonder, ponder and understand.”

to take reports of wrongdoing, actual or suspected. Anyone who wishes to report such activity can visit the home page (www.worldbridge.org) and click on the link to the High-Level Players Commission. Rona pledges that all reports will be investigated and taken seriously, especially those that are accompanied by evidence.

“If you think someone is cheating, Rona says, “it is your duty to provide information, not rumors.”

One of Rona’s goals as WBF chief is to work toward enhancing technological resources to make the game more secure. At the world championships in Chennai, India, last fall, 12 of the tables in the main teams event were surrounded by cameras recording every bid and play. In this year’s big tournament – the World Bridge Games in Wroclaw, Poland – 24 tables will be monitored.

“Step by step,” Rona says, “we will arrive at more technology. We are the coordinators.” The WBF is committed to cleaning up the game, but Rona views the landscape realistically. “We can’t believe we are living in paradise. Humans are corruptible and it is dreaming to believe that at a certain moment all cheaters will disappear.”

That’s not to say that those who are caught breaking the rules will not be dealt with harshly, Rona says, but prosecutions must be based on evidence.

While he is dealing with the cheating issue, Rona is also focusing on the 2016 World Youth Teams Championships in Salsomaggiore, Italy, scheduled for Aug. 3 to 13. Rona believes a record turnout is possible this year. For information about that tournament, visit the WBF website.

Once that competition is completed, the World Bridge Games in Wroclaw will be the WBF president’s focus. The tournament was once known as the World Bridge Olympiad. Each member country of the WBF can send four teams, one each to play in the Open, Women’s, Seniors and Mixed Teams (a new event).

The tournament also features National Pairs Championships: Open, Women’s, Seniors and Mixed.

Note: there are no transnational events in Wroclaw. All pairs and teams must be made up of players from the same country.

Wroclaw, the largest city in western Poland, is easy to reach for most travelers from North America, says Rona. For 2016, the city has been designated by the European Union as the European Capital of Culture. During the year, the city organizes a series of cultural events with a strong European dimension. “There will be a lot of activities in Wroclaw,” says Rona.

story? We’d love to see it.The Daily Bulletin has its own email address:

NABCDailyBulletin@acbl.org. You’ll also find it on the front page under the “Daily Bulletin” between the date and the editors’ names.

This email address won’t be checked with any regularity when the NABC is not in session, so please continue to use our office email addresses for non-tournament–related correspondence.

Please be scent-sitive!Some people have an extreme sensitivity to

fragrances (colognes or perfumes). Many ACBL clubs, units and districts have adopted policies that prohibit players from wearing fragrances. The ACBL has not issued an official policy on the matter, preferring instead to appeal to the goodwill of its members to refrain from using fragrances.

Because duplicate bridge requires players to be in close proximity to each other, individuals who suffer from fragrance-related reactions cannot avoid those who are wearing them. Among the commonly reported symptoms are intense headaches (indeed, fragrances can frequently be a trigger for migraine sufferers) or breathing-related problems. For these individuals, the issue is much more serious than simply disliking a particular smell — it’s a real health problem.

The ACBL asks everyone to give this issue the consideration it deserves. Please, if you’re going to play in a club or a tournament, don’t wear cologne, perfume or scented lotions.

Don’t askBy Barry Rigal

Revenge is a dish best served cold. For reasons that may become obvious, no names will be given on this report. The deal, from the first semifinal session of the Kay Platinum Pairs, featured opportunities given and not taken. Dlr: East ♠ A K 5 3 Vul: N-S ♥ J 4 ♦ 9 8 5 ♣ A J 7 5 ♠ 10 9 7 6 ♠ J 4 2 ♥ K 10 5 3 ♥ 9 6 2 ♦ J 2 ♦ A 10 6 4 3 ♣ K 8 6 ♣ 9 4 ♠ Q 8 ♥ A Q 8 7 ♦ K Q 7 ♣ Q 10 3 2 West North East South Pass 1NT Pass 2♣ Pass 2♥ Pass 3NT All Pass

West led the ♠6: 3, jack, queen. The ♣Q is covered all around, a second club to the 10 finds the good news. Now a heart towards the jack is allowed to score. When a diamond is led to the king, it holds the trick; but who has the ace? Would West, an acknowledged world expert, duck smoothly – or would he twitch? And if he twitches, almost imperceptibly, does that make him more or less likely to have the ♦A?

Things are made more interesting by the fact that South and West are occasional partners and so should be familiar with one another’s playing style.

If you want to punish West for his duck of the ♥K and need the ♦A to be onside, then cross to dummy with a club and play a second diamond. It won’t help East to win, leaving this ending: ♠ A K 5 ♥ 4 ♦ 9 ♣ 7 ♠ 10 9 7 ♠ 4 2 ♥ K 10 5 ♥ 9 6 ♦ — ♦ 10 6 ♣ — ♣ — ♠ 8 ♥ A Q 8 ♦ Q ♣ 3

Neither a spade nor a heart breaks up the squeeze, and if East ducks the second diamond, declarer cashes the last club and strip-squeezes West out of a diamond if he has one, then he endplays West in spades to lead hearts at trick 12. Plus 690 was a cold top.

The premier event of the Spring North American Championships is the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams. The history of the prestigious contest stretches back to 1928 when the man who invented contract bridge, Harold S. Vanderbilt, put the trophy bearing his name into play.

The winners list is a who’s who of bridge, a parade of the titans of the game. As part of the ACBL’s ongoing archiving project, photos of some of the winners are included with this history.

The Vanderbilt TrophyThe Vanderbilt Trophy for the Vanderbilt

Knockout Teams was donated in 1928 by Harold S. Vanderbilt, who won the event in 1932 and 1940.

The Vanderbilt was contested annually in New York – as a separate championship – until 1958 when it became part of the Spring North American Championships.

Vanderbilt winners receive replicas of the trophy – a practice initiated by Vanderbilt from the first running of the event and perpetuated by a $100,000 trust fund administered by ACBL under the terms of Vanderbilt’s will.

On display at ACBL Headquarters in Horn Lake MS are the Vanderbilt Trophy, as well as replicas donated by the families of Caroline Taylor, who won the Vanderbilt in 1928, and Helen Sobel Smith, a Vanderbilt winner in 1944 and 1945.

Please be on your best behavior.

The ACBL wants you to know that Zero Tolerance is in effect at this tournament.

You are expected to treat your partner and opponents with respect and a friendly demeanor. As the ZT policy dictates, rude behavior will not be tolerated.

If a player at the table behaves in an unacceptable manner, the director should be called immediately. The director may assess an immediate ¼ board disciplinary penalty (3 IMPs in team games). If both members of a partnership are guilty, the penalties are additive (¼ board per player = ½ board). A second offense in the same event may result in ejection.

The ultimate purpose of the ZT policy is to create a much more pleasant atmosphere in our NABCs and a more enjoyable bridge experience for everyone.

ConundrumBy Barry Rigal

The last board of the Kay Platinum Pairs semifinal presented an interesting defensive conundrum for East. Try it as a single-dummy problem (hands rotated).

Dlr: South ♠ K Q 7 4 2 Vul: Both ♥ J 3 ♦ 10 2 ♣ Q 8 6 3 ♠ 8 ♥ A 10 7 ♦ A Q J 7 ♣ 9 7 5 4 2

West North East South 1♥ Pass 1♠ Dbl 3♥ Pass 4♥ All Pass

You may not like your double or dummy’s raise but we are not judging a beauty contest. The opening lead (standard) is the ♣J: 3, 2, ace. Declarer plays the ♥5: 6, jack. Plan the defense. The ♥6 might be suit preference. Alas, it is unreadable. The choice is stark. Play partner for the ♠A and go for ruffs for yourself or a singleton club and go for ruffs for partner?

It looks a simple choice, but neither is the winning answer. A look at the full deal shows that you must duck the ♥A, playing declarer for his precise hand. ♠ K Q 7 4 2 ♥ J 3 ♦ 10 2 ♣ Q 8 6 3 ♠ J 10 6 5 3 ♠ 8 ♥ 9 6 ♥ A 10 7 ♦ K 9 7 6 ♦ A Q J 7 ♣ J 10 ♣ 9 7 5 4 2 ♠ A 9 ♥ K Q 8 5 4 2 ♦ 8 5 3 ♣ A K

Win the next heart and cash three diamonds. Not an easy defense to find.

What are the odds?By Barry Rigal

It is always surprising when experts demonstrate fallible grasp of the percentage tables. On this deal from the second semifinal session of the Kay Platinum Pairs, a player who has represented the U.S. open team more than once in the Bermuda Bowl found himself in notrump as South. Dlr: South ♠ A J 10 8 Vul: N-S ♥ 9 2 ♦ A 10 7 ♣ A 9 6 2 ♠ 9 5 4 3 ♠ 7 6 2 ♥ K J ♥ 10 7 6 5 3 ♦ J 9 2 ♦ K 8 6 ♣ J 10 7 5 ♣ 8 4 ♠ K Q ♥ A Q 8 4 ♦ Q 5 4 3 ♣ K Q 3

South actually played 3NT, but we won’t give him the benefit of the doubt and say he would play differently in 6NT!

How would you play after a spade lead? I think it is best to win the ♠A and lead a diamond to the queen, planning to lead back to the ♦10 at your next opportunity, whether the ♦Q holds or not.

If, as happens, your ♦Q wins and a diamond to the 10 loses to the king, a heart will come back. Do you finesse or go up with the ace? Your guess is as good as mine. If you rise with the ace you are relying on diamonds to break – there is no club-heart squeeze if they don’t. If diamonds behave, you are home if clubs break or, as in this case, the squeeze works.

Also note that if East had ♦K J 8 x and no ♥K in a 2=4=4=3 pattern, he should rise with the ♦K at trick two and shift to a heart. If he doesn’t, declarer might conceivably come home with the aid of some good card reading. So maybe diamonds are a favorite to break?

P.S. Our expert declarer won the ♠Q at trick one to lead a diamond to the 10, preferring a 50% line to the 75% line. Sigh.

The runners-up were Joel Wooldridge and Kent Mignocchi.

Hampson and Greco, one of ACBL’s top pairs for nearly 20 years, moved from fifth place to the lead with a 60.76% game in the first session. Their 58.73% game in the second final session was enough to keep them in first.

The win was the 14th NABC+ win for Greco. Hampson has 19. They have won 13 NABC+ events as partners. The two have also won a world championship together – the 2010 Rosenblum Cup in Philadelphia. Hampson was a member of the winning squad in the 2001 World Transnational Open Teams in Paris.

The winners did have a scare in the Platinum Pairs. When the final standings were printed out, Hampson and Greco had a lead of less than half a matchpoint – 443.86 to 443.39 for Wooldridge and Mignocchi, who had a strong last round with 22.5

out of 26 matchpoints. A score correction might easily change the standings.

A slow-play penalty of 3 matchpoints appeared to have cost Wooldridge and Mignocchi the title, but a review of the scores showed that Greco and Hampson had been given a score of minus 630 (a zero) on board 15 when they had actually scored

plus 100 (12 matchpoints). When the correction was made the final margin for the winners was 13.47 matchpoints.
