Summer Camp Tournament
Summer Camp ended with an optional tournament on Friday evening which gave 36 of the campers a chance to play in a formal duplicate event against other campers at all experience levels. For some of the players it was their first tournament. All of them enjoyed the evening and many of them vowed to play again soon!
Hardly a sound was heard during the tournament as all the players were concentrating on their game. One teacher observed, “I was a little worried the campers would make too much noise during the adult club game [which was ongoing during part of the SiVY Camp duplicate]. Now I’m worried that the adults will disturb the kids!”
Trophy Winners
For purposes of awarding trophies and American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) masterpoints, the game was “stratified” according to the experience levels of the campers at the beginning of the week. Strat A were the most experienced players and Strat C were the least experienced players.
