The team captained by Vinita Gupta took the lead at the halfway point of the Baze Senior Knockout Teams, then put the match away with a 57-1 third

quarter on the way to a 156-81 victory over the Carolyn Lynch squad.

Gupta, of Woodside CA, played with Billy Miller, Jeff Meckstroth, Eric Rodwell, Lew Stansby and Bart Bramley. With the win, Miller became a Grand Life Master.

Lynch’s teammates were Mike Passell, Garey Hayden, Cezary Balicki and Adam Zmudzinski.

Lynch won the first quarter 42-23, but Gupta, the original No. 3 seed, outscored Lynch 60-24 in the second set to grab an 83-66 lead. The big third quarter was too much for Lynch to overcome,

No excuseBy Jeff Johnston

Senior Director of Bridge Operations for the ACBL

I am truly embarrassed to have to write this. I am embarrassed for the League. I am embarrassed for the vast majority of decent, polite, wonderful bridge players at this NABC.

The actions of too many people at this tournament have far surpassed the limits of acceptable behavior. We, perhaps wrongly, sometimes excuse basic rudeness as a by-product of the competitive nature of our game. The out-and-out rudeness of some players at the cash concessions, the front desk, with the meeting concierge and others cannot be excused in any way. The bad behavior ranges from verbal abuse and bullying of staff to outright theft of products from the cash concessions. There has been at least one occasion of an action so vile I won’t even go into detail here.

I am embarrassed by all of this. Worse, I can’t understand it. Any bridge player knows the hourly staff does not set the prices and policies within the hotel. Why beat them up over these things they don’t control? Likewise, if getting the upper hand on an hourly hotel employee gives you some kind of rush or a sense of empowerment, go home and play online bridge against the robots. People deserve better.

Hotels do not like providing cash concessions. Despite the uninformed belief that hotels make a lot of money from them, the fact is they do little more than break even at most tournaments. Our meeting planners have to go to great lengths to convince hotels to offer this much-needed bridge amenity. When customers abuse the staff, it becomes almost

Norwegians leading Blue Ribbon PairsBoye Brogeland and Espen Lindqvist will

start today’s semifinal sessions of the Kaplan Blue Ribbon Pairs with a carryover of 129.34 matchpoints, about 14 matchpoints ahead of the Dutch/English partnership of Ricco van Prooijen and David Bakhski.

Agustin Madala of Argentina and Steve Weinstein are less than a matchpoint behind them in third place.

Californians lead Mini-Blues

Douglas Burke and Terry Terzian from the Golden State produced sessions of 63% and 60% to climb to the top of the list of qualifiers in the 0–5000 Mini-Blue Ribbon Pairs. Not far off the pace are Canadians Leonard Doerksen and David Brough and, in third, Kathy Guinyou and Robert Marcus, also from Canada. The three-day contest ends Thursday.

Clear the air, pleaseTournament Director Terry Lavender relates that

she has had several appeals from players who find it difficult to cope with heavy scents of perfume and cologne they have encountered. Some can become ill in the presence of such scents.

“Please,” said Lavender, “be considerate of those who are sensitive to perfumes and colognes.”


JUST FOR NEW PLAYERSHave you discussed...?

By Brent ManleyThis happened at a newcomer game at a club in

Florida. Two players were bidding it up when one of them bid 4NT (asking for aces). The other was stumped by the bid, so she called the director. When he arrived she had a question: “If I say ‘Alert,’ can I ask my partner what her bid means?”

You know the answer: You can’t do that, but you can take out insurance by discussing all aspects of your bidding system with your partner. You communicate with your partner through the bids that you make, so it’s vital that the two of you have the same understanding of all the calls that might come up.

Note that I used the word “call” just now. A call is any action you take during the auction: pass, double, redouble and any bid. A bid is a call but a call is not necessarily a bid. Repeat after me: “Every call I make conveys information to my partner.”

Say, for example, partner opens the bidding and the next player passes. If you pass as well, you have told partner – and, alas, the opponents – that you have a bad hand, usually fewer than 6 high-card points, and probably poor or no trump support.

As with all rules, there are exceptions. You would, for example, bid with fewer than 6 HCP with this hand after partner opened 1♠:♠K 8 7 6 5 ♥6 ♦J 10 9 4 3 ♣7 5.

This is a classic hand for a jump to 4♠, which usually shows that kind of shapely hand with really

good trump support.But I digress. We are here to

discuss takeout doubles, responses and continuations. Check out the following two auctions:

West North East South 1♦ DblPass 1♥ Pass 2♥

West North East South 1♦ DblPass 1♥ 2♣ 2♥

Do you know what South is

doing in the first auction? Does the 2♥ bid have a different meaning in the second auction? The answer to the second question is that there is a vast difference.

First, consider what North’s response of 1♥ tells South. North is saying his hand is in the range of 0-8 points. North might have zero points, but South raises to 2♥ anyway. This must be a game try. Why else would South bid freely in this situation?

South is making a try for game by asking North how close he is to the top of the range for his bid. If South is telling North to bid game with 7 or 8 points, South must have at least 17 or 18 points, perhaps♠A K 10 ♥K Q J 7 ♦A 5 ♣J 10 9 8.

In the second auction, East has bid again and South raises to indicate four-card trump support. This is important information for North because if West passes 2♣ or takes a preference to 2♦, North might want to compete if he’s at the top of his range but would be leery of rebidding a four-card suit

for fear that South has only three hearts, which is a possibility.

If South passes 2♣, North can be certain that his partner does not have four-card heart support, so if he competes further, he will surely have at least five in his suit.

Thinking bridgeBy Eddie Kantar

Dlr: East ♠ 10 9 Vul: E-W ♥ 9 7 ♦ K Q 6 5 ♣ A K Q J 10 ♠ K 8 4 3 ♠ A J 6 2 ♥ Q 10 8 5 ♥ A 4 3 2 ♦ 7 ♦ 4 2 ♣ 9 4 3 2 ♣ 7 6 5 ♠ Q 7 5 ♥ K J 6 ♦ A J 10 9 8 3 ♣ 8 West North East South Pass 1♦ Pass 2♣ Pass 2♦ Pass 4♦ Pass 5♦ All Pass

Opening lead: ♠3. Why 4♦? Playing 2/1, 3♦ would be forcing, but

4♦ is a descriptive slam try showing great clubs and diamonds. All South needs to go along with the ♦A is a major-suit ace and a major-suit king to make slam almost ice cold. Not too much to ask. With the actual hand South, bids 5♦, though many top players play 4NT by South as natural in this sequence with good reason. Besides, I wanted the contract to end in 5♦ to illustrate a point.

What about missing 3NT? That is definitely a consideration. However, slam seems so likely that it is worth going past 3NT to try for it, particularly if you can get out at 4NT.

What about the lead? If the bidding had gone 1NT – Pass – 3NT, West should lead a heart

because a suit with two honor cards is a stronger lead than a suit with only one.

On this bidding, West should lead a spade. Why? Because of the danger of a running club suit, the more aggressive lead is called for.

After he wins the ♠A, East should see that the

best chance to defeat this contract is to play West for a major-suit king. Accordingly, East leads the ♥A at trick two, denying the king. West discourages with the ♥5 (East has the 4 3 2) and East gives up on West holding the ♥K and returns a spade for down one.

VariationsBy Barry Rigal

This deal from the Baze Senior Knockout Teams was a missed opportunity at both tables. Dlr: South ♠ 10 8 7 5 Vul: E-W ♥ A 7 4 3 ♦ J 7 ♣ A 9 8

♠ A J ♥ — ♦ A 10 9 6 5 4 3 2 ♣ Q 6 5 West North East South Pass 1♦ Dbl 1NT 2♥ 5♦ All Pass

You play 5♦ and receive a low heart lead. Let’s say you elect to take the ♥A. Should you pitch a club or a spade? It looks natural to pitch a spade and play for a favorable lie in clubs.

But if the ♣K is on your left, as you suspect, you don’t need to find anything but one spade honor on your left to be able to make the game.

At the table, West had both spade honors, so the run of the trumps would kill him, but let’s look at what should happen if the spade honors were split and two cards in clubs are exchanged.

You win the ♥A, pitching a club, run the ♦J to the king, ruff the heart return, then run all the diamonds. With two trumps left to play, this is the ending with East still to play: ♠ 10 8 7 ♥ — ♦ — ♣ A 9 8 ♠ K 6 3 ♠ Q 9 4 ♥ — ♥ Q ♦ — ♦ — ♣ K 10 4 ♣ J 7 5 ♠ A J ♥ — ♦ 8 6 ♣ Q 6

East can pitch a heart or a spade, so let’s say

he lets go of a spade. You lead your penultimate diamond and West clearly cannot pitch a spade or you throw a club from dummy and play the ♠A and ♠J. So West pitches a club and you throw a spade from dummy. What does East pitch? If he throws a club, you lead the queen and duck when West covers with the king.

So East has a choice of a spade or his last heart. If he comes down to the bare ♠Q, declarer’s last trump extracts a spade from West and now the ♠A and ♠J endplays him. So East must pitch his last heart. Again, the last trump catches both defenders: ♠ 10 8 ♥ — ♦ — ♣ A 9 8 ♠ K 6 3 ♠ Q 9 ♥ — ♥ — ♦ — ♦ — ♣ K 10 ♣ J 7 5 ♠ A J ♥ — ♦ 4 ♣ Q 6

South plays the last trump, and if West pitches a club, declarer has two club winners. If West lets go of a spade, you declarer discards a spade from dummy, so what does East do?

If East discards a club, declarer plays the ♣Q and ducks when West covers. If East pitches a spade, the ♠A and another spade endplays West to lead a club away from the king.

This is the full original deal. ♠ 10 8 7 5 ♥ A 7 4 3 ♦ J 7 ♣ A 9 8 ♠ K Q 6 3 ♠ 9 4 2 ♥ J 10 8 6 5 ♥ K Q 9 2 ♦ K ♦ Q 8 ♣ K 10 2 ♣ J 7 4 3 ♠ A J ♥ — ♦ A 10 9 6 5 4 3 2 ♣ Q 6 5

Fool’s goldBy Gary MacGregor

This deal was played in the first qualifying session of the Nail Life Master Pairs (hands rotated). Dlr: South ♠ A J 7 3 Vul: N-S ♥ 9 7 6 4 ♦ J ♣ A J 7 5 ♠ 10 ♠ K 6 2 ♥ Q J 10 5 ♥ K 2 ♦ 10 9 8 4 ♦ Q 7 6 5 3 ♣ K Q 4 2 ♣ 10 6 3 ♠ Q 9 8 5 4 ♥ A 8 3 ♦ A K 2 ♣ 9 8 West North East South 1♠ Pass 4♦ (1) Pass 4♠ All Pass(1) Splinter raise of spades: diamond shortnesss.

Like a lot of declarers, I failed in the normal 4♠ contract. Down one was worth 19.5 out of 51 matchpoints.

On the lead of the ♥Q, I elected to duck when my right-hand opponent produced the ♥2. Several variations might be possible if I won the first trick, including guessing clubs correctly at trick two, but ducking seemed okay.

West continued: low to the king and ace. The spade finesse lost and back came a spade, LHO pitching the ♣2 (upside down signals). It seemed reasonably certain that the hearts were 4-2, so I drew trumps and hoped for honor-10 in clubs on my left. When I played a club, LHO split his honors and I was down.

My error came in not looking at the ♣2! Upside-down signalers don’t lie in this situation – it could only be the ♣K Q.

I didn’t come close to solving this at the table (maybe next time), but LHO can be subjected to pressure if I cash my diamonds, ruff a diamond and run trumps. This would be the end position: ♠ — ♥ 9 7 ♦ — ♣ A J ♠ — ♠ — ♥ Q J ♥ — ♦ ♦ Q 7 ♣ K Q ♣ 10 6 ♠ Q ♥ 8 ♦ — ♣ 9 8

When I play the ♠Q, West must let go of a heart, so I discard dummy’s ♣J and lead a heart. Dummy’s last two cards will be winners. It’s a squeeze without the count.

Post mortem: My two clubs were fool’s gold on this deal. I wish they hadn’t been dealt to me.

impossible to convince hotel management that they “should” be doing this FOR our players. Stealing cokes from the concession stands is certainly not an incentive for them provide this service for the players.

Many of the employees at the Sheraton have requested time off or assignments where they don’t have to deal with the bridge-playing public. This is embarrassing. This is sad. This is unacceptable.

With the full support of our CEO, I have asked our staff to be vigilant and take aggressive action against the guilty individuals. We will use our full authority under the Code of Disciplinary Regulations and the ACBL Handbook to bring offenders before disciplinary committees and C & E hearings and remove them from the tournament as necessary. Your actions any place within the host facilities are subject to ACBL rules and regulations.

We will not allow the actions of a small group to further erode the ACBL image at the Sheraton or at any other future venue.

Stealing is stealing. Bullying is bullying. Abuse is abuse. Renting a hotel room and buying an entry to a bridge game does not permit stealing, bullying or abuse. It must stop.


No excuse

Getting around downtown

Approach local Phoenix “Ambassadors” (men/women wearing orange shirts) for information on where to dine, shop or find the nearest “?” These ambassadors walk the streets and their assistance is free of charge. Call the Ambassadors at 602-495-1500 if you need information.

Pedal Cabs are a convenient method of transportation within downtown Phoenix. The Phoenix Convention Visitors Bureau recommends Arizona Pedal Cabs (602-252-1152) and Big Papa Human Power Transportation (602-618-6702). These pedal cab operators are paid on a “gratuity basis.” Please be aware there are independent cab operators who do not operate on the basis of gratuities. Travelers are advised to ask the cab operators for their fees before they choose to travel with them.


Smoking policySmoking at the Sheraton is permitted only in

designated areas, and smokers must be at least 20 feet from all entrances. Hotel security will be monitoring the smoking areas during this tournament. Violators will be subject to discipline by the ACBL.

The masterpoint awards as shown are, therefore, also subject to change.

Hold onto your 9By Barry Rigal

This deal occurred in the Baze Senior Knockout Teams round of eight. Dlr: North ♠ 8 6 2 Vul: ♥ 10 9 8 3 ♦ A K J 10 9 ♣ Q ♠ Q J 7 4 ♠ 9 5 ♥ A K Q 6 2 ♥ 7 5 4 ♦ 8 2 ♦ Q 6 5 4 ♣ 6 3 ♣ K 9 8 2 ♠ A K 10 3 ♥ J ♦ 7 3 ♣ A J 10 7 5 4 West North East South Pass Pass 1♣ 1♥ 2♦ Pass 2♠ Pass 3♥ Pass 4♣ All Pass

On defense against 4♣, Glenn Milgrim cashed the ♥K and carefully shifted to a diamond. If he continues with a heart, declarer ruffs, gives up a trump and subsequently takes a first-round diamond finesse to come to 10 tricks.

On the diamond shift, declarer took the ace, passed the ♣Q, ruffed a heart to hand and played the ♣A and ♣J. East won the ♣K to arrive at this ending: ♠ 8 6 ♥ 10 9 ♦ K J 10 ♣ — ♠ Q J 7 4 ♠ 9 5 ♥ K Q ♥ 5 ♦ 3 ♦ Q 6 5 ♣ — ♣ 8 ♠ A K 10 3 ♥ — ♦ 7 ♣ 10 6

East now has a choice of two winning and two losing defenses. A trump back is one of the winning options. Declarer’s spade spots are not quite good enough. The other winning option is a low spade.

For fans of three-card endings (I know you’re out there), this is what happens if East plays back the ♠9. Declarer wins the ace, cashes the ♣10 to force a diamond out of West. Now when declarer leads a diamond from hand, West must discard a heart. Declarer then wins the ♦K, ruffs a heart and exits with a low spade. West can win with the jack or queen but is then endplayed.

If East plays back a heart instead of a trump or the low spade, in the seven-card ending declarer ruffs, draws the last trump, cashes the ♠A and ♠K and reduces dummy to ♦K J 10 and East to ♦Q 6 5. A diamond to dummy endplays East to concede the two of the last three tricks.

although the runners-up scored the first 24 IMPs of the final 16 boards before Gupta tacked on a late slam swing to put it out of reach.

Gupta’s win was her first North American championship after only three years of playing what she describes as “serious tournament bridge.”

Gupta is the founder and was the head of Digital Link Corp., in Sunnyvale CA (Silicon Valley). She retired eight years ago and, with coaching and mentoring by Miller, has made her mark in high-level competition. Her team was second in the Senior KO last year in San Francisco.

Next on her agenda is “working hard toward bigger and better goals.”

(1) MajorsThis board was played in the first qualifying

session of the Mitchell Open Board-a-Match Teams.At unfavorable vulnerability, my 2♦ overcall,

showing at least 5-5 in the majors, might be a bit aggressive.

In any case, when North doubled and my partner, Steve Beatty, passed, I Alerted and explained that he was showing diamonds.

South passed and it was up to me. Should I pass with a singleton ? The answer was that if I trusted my partner, pass was my only option, so I did.

I lost two clubs and two diamonds, but I got the heart suit right to end up with plus 180 for 2♦ making and a win on the board.

There was also this comment from Steve after the opening lead was made: “After all the bad dummies I have given you, you better appreciate this one!”

Slow PlaySlow play, as opposed to careful or thoughtful

Wrong bracket? No problem!

John Crouch of Edina MN stopped by to relate a story with a happy ending. In the Saturday-Sunday Bracketed Knockout Teams, he and his teammates were inadvertently assigned to a Bracket 3 when their masterpoints said they should be in Bracket 4.

By the time the mistake was discovered, it was too late to put the Crouch team into their correct bracket.

The TD told them, “Do the best you can.”Not to worry. Crouch and his teammates – Mary

and Larry McIntyre of St. Paul MN and Robert Bonine of Mendota Heights MN – went on to victory.

MonitoringAt this and future North American

Championships, ACBL will be monitoring NABC+ events with visible, real-time cameras. The images will be recorded and will be available for later official inspection and review.

New Life Master newsCongratulations to Jane Austermiller, who

picked up the 4.55 points she needed playing in the Monday 1 and 7 p.m. Compact Knockout. The Inverness IL resident was playing with her hometown partner, Janis Morrisroe and pick-up teammates, Terry and Rick Bargar from Andover MA. Austermiller notes the irony that it was the Bargars’ team that knocked her team out of the Monday-Tuesday morning Compact KO, after which the Bagars approached them and asked, “Hey! Want to play together?”

Hendrik Sharples of Brush Prairie WA surpassed 10,000 masterpoints at the Fall NABC to become a Platinum Life Master. He did so in the Nail Life Master Pairs playing with longtime partner Gerry Marshall of Las Vegas. Sharples is a personal property appraiser.

Jan Bricklin Memorial“A beautiful human being and an

excellent bridge player”By Friends of Jan Bricklin

Jan Bricklin will always be remembered for her absolute passion for the game of bridge. She brought grace, style, kindness and charm to the game she loved so dearly. As the owner and operator of the Scottsdale Bridge Club, she provided a forum in which all levels of players could play competitively, challenge their abilities and impart new skills to

others who were just beginning to learn the game. The club was also a place to find new friends and create lifelong friendships.

Bridge players were Jan’s second family. She would be so proud and honored to be recognized at the Phoenix Fall Nationals.

Her family would like to thank everyone for participating in this wonderful event and for keeping her memory alive at the bridge table. She would love it!

Margaret Gaer Memorial MemorialMargaret Alcorn Gaer (Maggie) was one of the

great players of her generation. She won her first national championship, the Women’s Pairs, in 1954, before she had even become a Life Master. Her partner in that event, a woman named Sally Neely, was actually a last-minute substitute for Maggie’s regular partner, who was ill. In one of those strange twists of fate, Sally never played again after their victory.

In 1959, Maggie won the Women’s Teams with Lee Kasle, Jo Sharp, Ad Simon and Garner McDaniel. In 1964, she repeated her Women’s Pairs

Sedona Bridge CenterThe Sedona Bridge Center is a nonprofit

duplicate bridge club with more than 165 members. We pride our club on being friendly, yet competitive. We refer to our club members as “our family” and frequently celebrate the successes of our players. We have taken special efforts to grow our club and were ranked No. 12 in all of District 17 in 2012 for tables of play. Many of our club members are working as volunteers to support the 2013 NABC hospitality program.

Betsy Rosky MemorialBy Joel Brooks, Director and

Leisure World Bridge Club members Betsy Rosky moved to Mesa AZ in 1991 and

lived here for 20 years. We all learned so many things from Betsy, one

of the most important of which is to have a sense of humor. Betsy reveled in her good games and laughed at her not-so-good ones. This approach seemed to be her big-picture attitude toward life, as well. She was an amazing player who carried that zest for life throughout her 102 years. Everyone smiled after leaving Betsy’s table. Everyone who knows and thinks about Betsy even now still smiles.

Betsy was also a competitive swimmer, who was still swimming at 101. She would always tell me that she won all the events she entered in her age group. “It’s all the screaming and cheering that keeps me going.”

Sides Family Bracketed KnockoutThe Sides family extends their thanks to Unit

351 and AZ BridgeWorks for the opportunities each has afforded Sydney. Sydney has appreciated playing in a great atmosphere conducive to improving and enjoying the game of bridge.

Jim Cox MemorialBy Joy Balser

Jim’s adult career was working as an engineer with the State of Arizona. His passion was directing bridge games. He started directing in the late 1960s and owned the bridge club in Phoenix until the late 1990s. In the days of manual scoring, his speed and accuracy were unparalleled. Even after the arrival of the dreaded computer, he could manually matchpoint at a rate that challenged ACBLscore.

He is revered as a mentor for countless players and directors. During his last few years working at AZ BridgeWorks, he received phone calls from all over the Valley asking how to fix or configure a game. He willingly sat for hours after the game, discussing rulings and play. No director who was certified in Phoenix more than five years ago would be half as good without Jim’s tutelage. He was, and remains, irreplaceable.

Sue Foster MemorialBy Vernon Hoover

Sue Foster was my bridge partner for more than 13 years. During that time, we became super friends. We would have lunch and travel together on

every bridge day (three times a week). I miss Sue immensely.

Tiffany FoundationThe Tiffany Foundation was formed to honor

the life of Tiffany Floth Romero who died on August 5, 2006 after a four and a half year battle with inflammatory breast cancer. Tiffany’s life is an example of caring first about others and demonstrating to all who knew her how to live life to its fullest, in spite of the daunting challenges of breast cancer. The Tiffany Foundation exists to “provide hope to women afflicted with breast cancer.” www.thetiffanyfoundation.org/

Dave Zapatka – Bridge mentor teacher and friend

By Linda BrockA Chicago native, David Zapatka has been a

leader in the Arizona bridge community since he moved from Springfield MO in 2003.

David is a past president of units 351 and 101 and has served as the vice president of District 17. He has chaired numerous sectionals and regionals and served on unit and district committees including budget, by-laws, ethics and conduct, newsletter, tournament operations, publicity and website coordination. A Diamond Life Master, Jim is a sought-after speaker for regional tournaments.

David and his wife, JoAnn, are the 2013 Fall NABC Intermediate/Newcomer tournament co-chairs. Their tireless work promoting bridge as a friendly game has earned them high praise from the Arizona bridge community. Dave has been my mentor, teacher and friend for the past four years. I have benefited greatly from his patience and instruction.

Unit 351 and our Sun Lakes at Oakwood Club members thank you, David, for your leadership.

Jim Seamster Jr. MemorialBy the Seamster Family

Jim Seamster served our country in the military including two tours of duty in Korea. Following his service in the Army, he owned and operated a taxi service in Lawton OK. He grew to love Oklahoma and lived there for the next 25 years. His life ended there when he succumbed to ALS a little more than a year ago.

Jim is survived by his parents, four sisters, and two brothers. His wife of 25 years died just five months after his death. He was a good and gentle man who is missed by his family. A parent should never have to write an obituary for one of their children.

Lois Sax Adams of Middletown OH Memorial

By Diane A. Anderson, Lois’s nieceAs a child growing up on the prairies of western

North Dakota, Lois enjoyed playing cards and learned to compete with her seven older brothers. She took up duplicate being widowed at age 64

and enjoyed playing for 24 years. She became an accomplished player and looked forward to her weekly bridge groups.

Lois was a wonderful mother, homemaker and church member. She studied politics and served as a poll worker and precinct chairwoman for 20 years. When she passed away at 90 years of age, she left a large void in her family, church and community.

Craig Swanson MemorialBy Roberta Marcus, RNC

Craig Swanson died of a heart attack on Nov. 7, 2012, at the age of 47. I am dedicating this game to Craig’s honor for the legacy he left his family — of kindness, joy and respect and, most of all, faith.

Craig’s widow, Debbie and his two sons, Adam (who is attending college) and Jared (still in high school) are doing well. In addition to honoring Craig, I am hoping that by sponsoring this event, I can increase public awareness of the impact of heart disease and its ability to crush someone in the prime of life. We all need to improve our lives through diet and exercise, and we particularly need to be aware of being open with our doctors regarding inherited tendencies.

Susan Patricelli and Jim ClearyBy Peter Marcus

This event honors Susan Patricelli and Jim Cleary, two excellent players who came to their senses and moved to warm and sunny Arizona almost four years ago. Susan and Jim were bastions of the Hartford Bridge Club in West Hartford. Jim was the Hartford Bridge Club Player of the Year for several years in a row; Susan was the director.

Susan was also an ACBL tournament director for 15 years. For five years during this same period, she managed and directed games at The Hartes’ Club, a highly successful club in White Plains NY owned by Gail Greenberg. Susan drove 200 miles round-trip twice a week, in all kinds of weather, to help grow the club.

Susan and Jim retained their enthusiasm for bridge when they moved West. It seems, sadly, however, that they must have lost the ability to read a calendar because they booked a 10-day cruise that coincides with this NABC. Their many friends who looked forward to seeing them here in Phoenix are sorely disappointed.

Susan and Jim—all of your old friends from the Northeast and all of your new friends from the Southwest miss you.

Clark Perkins MemorialBy Friends of Clark Perkins

Clark will long be remembered for his charm, his warmth, his kindness and his great personal and professional integrity. We thank all who have memories of this funny, thoughtful and loving man. He would want you to know how much he enjoyed all 95 years of his life, and how happy he was to have friends and family who were part of it.

win, this time with Lucille Patterson, and also won the Life Master Women’s Pairs, partnering Betty Kaplan, the wife of the great Edgar Kaplan.

Maggie was a fine teacher. She loved partnering with new players and was at her best when she could mentor an aspiring player who was serious about the game. Among her many students were Jan Bricklin, one of the pillars of the Phoenix bridge community, and NABC Champion Tobi Sokolow.

Gloria Hunt MemorialBy Rick Hunt and Family

In 1978, Gloria and Dick Hunt moved to Arizona and started a family business. After playing duplicate bridge with her father, Gloria purchased a club when the opportunity presented itself.

Gloria gained great popularity among many bridge players. Maggie and Jerry Gaer took her under their wing saying, “you shall do very well, and we will support you as much as we can!” Jeanne and Ed were very instrumental in Mom’s bridge career.

Our family would like to thank all the many people, who knew and loved her. A special thanks to Jeanne and Ed for sponsoring this game in memory of our Mom. She was well loved, and I believe that her partners and students will always miss her.

Don MacIlraithDon MacIlraith and his wife, Joy, took lessons

from the legendary Russell Roosen. Each has earned almost 4000 masterpoints. They have won many regional events, including wins in the 1983 Mesa Senior Regional and the 1987 Lancaster CA Regional.

In 1991, Don formed Northern Arizona Unit 355 and served on the board of directors. He also served as president of the Sedona Bridge club for many years.

In 2012, Northern Arizona Bridge Unit 355 established an Honors Award, to recognize members who had made a significant contribution to the unit. At the membership meeting in March 2012, the initial award was given jointly to Don and Joy and to Gwen Thomas and Fran Edmond, of Prescott. The award has since been renamed the Don MacIlraith Award.

The Sedona Bridge Center prides itself on being a friendly yet competitive bridge club. Don was the person who set this standard many years ago, and it has been Don who has maintained the standard.

This sponsorship honors Don for establishing and developing both Northern Arizona Unit 355 and the Sedona Bridge Center.

Gary “Z Man” ZeigerBy Marsha Helton

He has worked as a director for ACBL since November 1990. He won the Tom Weeks Award (given by the Professional Tournament Directors Association for professionalism) in 2004. He was named a National Director in Boston in 2008. Last year, Zeiger was promoted to field supervisor of Districts 16 and 17.

I would like to honor Gary for his work in promoting bridge at the local sectional and regional tournaments in Arizona. He has run every Phoenix sectional save two since 1994.

First, one must recognize that Gary has an unusual personality. Sometimes, it seems like he does not want you to like him. He is often brutally honest in his assessment of situations and never shy to tell you what he thinks. Despite all his efforts to distance himself from others, we aren’t fooled by his act.

He will always put the tournament’s and the players’ needs above his own. Gary makes his first priority to make the tournament that he directs as financially successful as possible. Gary is happy to transport flyers to increase awareness for the local units. Anytime we have a question or need advice on how to improve our attendance or profitability, Gary is there to help.

We are lucky to claim Gary “Z Man” Zeiger, as part of our Arizona bridge network.

InsiderThe Insider has started to wonder if any of you

are paying attention to this column.The person who defaced the Zero Tolerance

posters struck again as she made a third $100 poster worthless. Next time, write a letter to the ACBL’s Marketing Department suggesting they buy into your self-anointed copy writer superiority and save us all some money. C’mon, play nice, quit writing on our signs!

Smokers — move away from the front door. Smoke in the designated area. Show some consideration. Obey the law. And, by the way, please stop throwing butts on the ground.

And, here’s another great idea: Don’t congregate right at the ends of the escalators. The space is pretty congested to begin with as hundreds of players head to the 1 p.m. game; let’s not make it even harder to navigate. It is impolite and it creates safety issues for you and others.

Here’s another safety suggestion: At the table, be careful with your personal items (purses, coats, pillows, snow shoes, bicycles, coolers, souvenir bags from the 1962 Fall NABC and the like). Keep them under your chair and out of the way. These essentials become tripping hazards as they creep out into the aisles.

You have been warned … again.

International FundIn NABC+ events, $1.50 (per person, per session) of each entry fee will be allocated to the ACBL International Fund. These funds are used to underwrite part of the expenses of ACBL players who participate in international competition.

Are you commuting daily to the NABC in downtown Phoenix? A great alternative to the heavy traffic, the maze of downtown one way streets and high parking rates is the Phoenix Light Rail. Many of our local players will be playing the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. schedule. Especially if you are 65 and older, the light rail is by far your best option for the NABC. You will never feel rushed, you’ll avoid the heavy traffic and confusing one-way streets, and you’ll pay only $2 a day versus $12 to $18 a day for downtown parking.

The light rail has nine free park-and-ride lots. It is best to use the larger lots at the extreme east and west ends of the route.

West siders: 1825 W. Montebello Ave. or 1815 W. Camelback. Both lots are less than a mile from I-17. It is a 20-minute ride from these lots to downtown.

East siders: 1806 W. Main St., Mesa or 2235 E.

Apache Blvd., Tempe. The Apache lot is about 100 yards from the 101.

It is a 40-minute ride from these lots to downtown. Note: No overnight parking is allowed in any lot.

The light rail conveniently stops downtown. Depending on the direction you are coming from and which hotel you are playing at, it is a leisurely three- to 10-minute walk to the playing site from the rail stop. The train runs until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, so any bridge-playing schedule can be accommodated on those days. Sunday through Thursday, the last train from downtown going east leaves at 11:15 p.m. and going west at 11:30 p.m. Therefore, if you are playing a 7:30 p.m. game you must immediately leave at the conclusion of your session to ensure not missing the last train. Evening trains run every 20 minutes.

What are the costs? Unbelievably reasonable! A day pass is $4 and a seven-day pass is $20 for those who are playing every day. For those 65 and older, the price is one/half of the full fare. Tickets can be purchased at a kisok at every station, or online or at numerous local vendors conveniently located through the Phoenix area.

For out-of-town budget-minded travelers who have flown into Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport , the light rail is also a viable option. There is a sky shuttle from the airport to the nearest light rail station. It is about a 15-minute ride from the station to downtown. A one-way, one-time fare is $2 ($1 over 65). The light rail has no luggage restrictions.
