Royal Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STaC)
2024-05-06 - 2024-05-10 | Bridge Center, 432A Stierlin Rd, Mountain View, CA, 94043, United States
ACBL District 21 is holding face-to-face Royal Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STaC) games, awarding gold/red/silver/black masterpoints. We are holding STaC games daily at the Bridge Center on Monday, May 6 – Friday, May 10, 2024.
There will be Open and Limited stratified sections.
“Overall” masterpoint awards for these games are based on the total number of players playing those hands in that game that day in all of District 21; District 19; District 22; and District 23. Thus, “overall” masterpoint awards will be significantly larger than usual. These STaC games are F2F only, not online on BBO.
All games that week are held daily at the Bridge Center at their usual times (note that the Monday May 6 game will begin at 11:30 AM).
For planning purposes, we ask that you make a reservation for games at the Bridge Center. If you can’t remember your username and password, just call the director for the day you wish to play.
Check out our feature allowing one to use the reservation system to find a partner. The instructions for doing that are on each reservation page.
