SPECIAL GAMES AT CLUB LIMITED BY MOTION
PASSED BY NATIONAL BOARD IN RENO BEGNNING ON JULY 1, 2010:
"The month of February is reserved for Junior
Fund Games, the month of April is reserved for charity games and
the month of September is reserved for International Fund games.
In those months, any and all ACBL sanctioned club sessions
may be special games for the named funds. In the
remaining nine
months of the year, ONE game PER MONTH, PER
SANCTIONED
SESSION MAY BE A SPECIAL GAME for
either the Junior Fund, International Fund, Educational Foundation
or charity.
The masterpoint rating for all of these special
games will be 70% ofSectional Rating maintaining the current cap of 6.00
masterpoints."
I did not vote in favor of this motion since I
believe these are popular games with many clubs in District
9....but I was in the vast minority. Clubs should be alerted
to begin adjusting their special game schedule to comply with the
July 1, 2010 effective date.
