Looking For Gold Points
The 2004 ACBL Instant Matchpoint Game
will be held at local clubs on Thursday evening, 9 September 2004.
The contest features a gold point for section top winners (each
direction). The game also features a booklet with complete analyses of
the deals by many-time national champion Richard Pavlicek.
The ACBL Instant Matchpoint Game is the
only club event awarding gold points.
There will be two contests, an Open Championship and a Secondary
Contest.
ØThe Open Championship is for games with at least five full
tables run in a Mitchell movement. All pairs in the Open Championship
games must play exactly 24 boards to be eligible for prizes.
Open events with 14 or more tables may split into games of at
least seven tables each and award gold points to section winners in each
direction. Other awards are ½
red and ½ black. In stratified games, only those pairs placing first in
the "open" field are eligible for gold points.
ØInvitational games will be considered Secondary Contests and
will award .80 gold points for section top winners in Mitchell
movements of five or more tables.
The Secondary Contest must have at least six pairs.
All games with half tables are considered secondary contests.
Howell movements will also be considered secondary contests.
Howell winners will be considered to be in the North-South
field.
