MID-ATLANTIC SEEKS SOMEONE TO STORE AND TRANSPORT TABLES
The Mid-Atlantic Bridge Conference Finance Committee is in the process
of accepting bids for moving tables to our various tournaments in District
Six. A total of about 350 card tables need to be stored and then
up to 325 of them need to be transported to and from the four regionals
held annually in the District. In 2007 these tournaments will be held in Richmond, VA, North Bethesda, MD, Hunt Valley, MD and Virginia Beach, VA.
We would prefer one person to take care of both storage and transportation,
but are willing to consider offers for performing only one of the two activities.
Anyone interested should contact Fred King, the subcommittee chairperson,
at fredmking@gmail.com |

Once again the Mid-Atlantic Bridge Conference ran
the biggest and the best regionals in ACBL land. We had eight of
the 20 most popular regionals in 2004, and perennial ACBL record-setter
Gatlinburg more than doubled the attendance of the second place tournament,
Las Vegas.
In 2003, there were 14 ACBL regionals with 2,000-plus
tables, four from the Mid-Atlantic (Nbrs. 1, 3, 4 & 9). This year there
were 19 regionals with 2,000-plus tables, and the MABC had seven of them,
with Virginia Beach just barely missing ... another two tables a day, and
they'd have made it.
There were 10 Mid-Atlantic regionals in 2004, totaling
a record 30,807 tables.
1. Gatlinburg (April) ............ 8,208 (record)
2. Las Vegas (June) .............. 3,989
3. Hunt Valley (August) .......... 3,504 (record)
4. Atlanta (September) ........... 3,436 (record)
5. Hilton Head (February) ........ 3,348
6. Sarasota (February) ........... 3,321
7. Penticton (June) .............. 3,147
8. Orlando (January) ............. 2,886
9. Palm Springs (December) ....... 2,885
10. Houston (February) ............ 2,748
11. Alexandria (July) ............. 2,490
12. Lancaster (October) ........... 2,426
13. Raleigh (May) ................. 2,372 (record)
14. Santa Clara (September) ....... 2,336
15. Charleston (December) ......... 2,243 (record)
16. Toronto (April) ............... 2,184
17. Rye, NY (January) ..... ....... 2,067
18. Mesa, AZ seniors (April) ...... 2,059
19. Sacramento (June) ............. 2,017
20. Virginia Beach (November) ..... 1,988
The Mid-Atlantic made its mark in sectionals, too,
with District 7 continuing a long string of topping the ACBL in the number
of tournaments; total attendance; and silver points won.
This year's figures were 14,662 tables in 63 sectionals.
This does not include the thousands of participants in numerous STaCs.
Atlanta sectionals of 917, 856 and 729 tables ranked
Nbrs. 3, 4 and 6 for the year in North America. Two weeklong sectionals
in Las Vegas annually draw 1,000-plus tables.
Individually, Susanne McLaughlin of Charleston nipped
her husband, Mark, for the ACBL sectional points championship. They totaled
466 and 465 sectional points. This is the fourth year in the past five
that Charleston players have finished one-two in the ACBL silver point
race: Mark had two points more than Susanne in 2000, and Richard Guarneri
bested John Hurd in both 2001 and '02. Richard finished third this year. |
