A STaC is a Sectional Tournament at Clubs. This
is how it works: Most games at clubs you attend during STaC Week
(June 23-29) will be part of the tournament. The
results of the game in which you play will be combined with the results
from all other clubs playing at the same time and one giant OVERALL will
be tallied. Let's say that
clubs at Tyler, Beaumont and
Houston are all playing at the same time. Scoring
is first done on a club-by-club basis and points are awarded at each
location. To compute Overalls, the
results of all three games are combined as if everyone were playing under
one roof. Highest percentage
score is first overall, next is second overall, and so forth. Because
you are competing against so many people, you can earn a lot of points. All
of the points you earn, whether they are club awards or overall awards,
will be SILVER. Yes,
it will cost a little more to play in a STaC game. ACBL
sanction fees are higher and a Head Director must be paid to gather results
and issue points. STaC week is a good week to make a lot of extra dates. Check to see if your club is participating. |
