"The more you play, the more you realize you know so little about the game."
                  ----- Zia Mahmood

The results for the Tuesday night STaC game in Arcadia are posted on the Bridge Center's Web page, above.
Below is a link to the Western Region Results site.
The Arcadia Bridge Club will have two more STaC games; the next one will be Friday evening, May 9 and the last one on Saturday afternoon, May 10.  That's silver points for those of you who need them.
The Mini-McKenney and the Ace of Clubs races have been updated for this month.

Tim Lolli will lecture on a few conventions on Saturday, May 17, at the Glendale club at noon.
