Orange County Regional
The Orange County Regional will be held during the week of September 5-11, 2016 at the Hotel Irvine. This is a very nice venue in an attractive area with many nice local restaurants. The tournament kicks off the week with the popular Monday gold point Compact Knockout Teams at 3:00 & 7:30 p.m. A new two-session Bracketed Swiss Teams event has been added on Thursday. This midweek, bracketed Swiss with small brackets, has been very popular at other regionals. The District 22 NAP Finals for all flights will be held on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Starting times are 10:30 a.m. & 3:15 p.m. except Monday. If you need a partner or teammates, try the online partnership desk on the website. The Intermediate/Newcomer program includes a full schedule of expert speakers. We look forward to seeing you at the Orange County Regional.
D22 Players at the Summer NABC
Perhaps the highlight of this NABC were the penalties announced on the alleged cheaters. These were reported in the Daily Bulletins and ACBL deserve kudos for taking bold action to maintain the integrity of the game.
Highlights of notable performances by D22 players are shown below. The full results can be viewed by going to the Daily Bulletins on the ACBL.org website
