On January 1, 2022, Tim White officially became Regional Director for ACBL Region 13, which comprises Districts 18 and 19.
He sends us a very comprehensive report from the National Board Meeting in Austin which you can download as a pdf here
.
Two items may be of particular interest to clubs and players:
1) Improvements in information technology, including:
- Completing the tournament event pre-registration system.
- Moving Trax application to cloud-based application.
- Moving ACBLScore to a web-based application.
2) A revamped convention card, debuting mid 2022 and featuring these changes:
- Seldom-used conventions have been removed and commonly-used conventions added.
- Recent changes in alerts and announcements are reflected.
- The One Club and One Diamond open bid sections have been expanded, providing more room to address different minor suit openings.
- The right side of the card has been reorganized, with bids shown in ascending order of strain
The new card can be downloaded here.
I like the proposed new convention card. 2 suggestions for same & a question..
follow the Australian lead re colors of card symbols. diamonds = orange or gold, clubs = blue or green. i.e. not black & red for the minors.
2 sets of “name” for team games where a player wishes to know who all the opponents are.
is there a difference other than available space between Art F & Conv?
