Pacific Southwest (SD) Regional
D22 again held its Pacific Southwest Regional at the Town & Country Hotel, within walking distance to a large shopping center, with plentiful restaurants of all kinds located nearby. We had an increase in table count from 1695 in 2016 to 1794 in 2017, as expected, since it was not close to the Spring NABC in Kansas City.
Everyone enjoyed the daily hospitality with lots of candy, and that all important coffee! On Saturday, a hospitality was held with drinks and snacks. Lots of Gold points were awarded, along with nice section top awards, a T-shirt, Mason jug glasses and flashlights were some of the prizes.

Bidding Screens - The Pacific Southwest Regional has the Finals of Brackett I and II KOs behind bidding screens, just like national and international team events. Because the District has 4 screens, the Brackett I KO semi-final could also be played behind screens. The popular Fri IMP pairs, Mon and Thursday 2-session Swiss, and Sunday Bracketted BCD Swiss were back again. Each bracketted BCD Swiss flight awards gold points for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
