It was a small attendance of 20 bridge players - 5 teams, but this is just a start and a good one, considering the fact, that nobody had received the latest issue of the Kibitzer with tournaments advertisement, which got lost some where in a printing shop or US snail-mail offices on a way to it's addresses.

But according to the "lucky" players, who attend the bridge game, it could not be any better. Every team played four other teams in 7 boards matches - 28 boards in less than 3.5 hours - special thanks to the tournament directing experience of Peter WILKE.

More than 34 ACBL Silver points were awarded - every player in room got some: from 0.26 for a single win to 2.5 to the winners.

$100 in cash prices were given away as well (1st place - $60, 2nd - $30, and 3rd - $10).

Come to experience yourself an up-scale atmosphere of the Team Effort next Tuesday, November 15, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. and play in 3rd tournament of BHC 2005-06.
