PRESIDENT’S LETTER
In most years, the coming of Spring means the April Sectional is nearly upon us. However, as previously advised, we have had to cancel this year’s due to renovations at the Guardian Angel Church.
The work is apparently on schedule, and we look forward to resuming the balance of this year’s sectionals.
If looking for an excellent tournament in the near future, we recommend getting a Swiss team together for the Bob Johnke Team Event to be held on Saturday, April 5 at Christ Church in Ridgewood.
All of the activities of the North Jersey Bridge Association (Unit 106) are the result of the efforts of
many bridge loving volunteers. Labor is divided into approximately 20 different committees, composed of many Board members and non-Board members. We could always use more help.
The Tournament and Hospitality Committees work together to bring us the popular Allendale Sectionals. While we have a number of loyal volunteers working on these committees, we specifically
could use more help there. If interested, please contact Marlene Case at 845-942-1182 or give your
name to any Board member.

This ‘n That From Your District Director
NEW GNT STRATIFICATIONS
There is a matter that I hate to mention, and yet feel I
must. At the nationals in Phoenix last November, an
article in the daily bulletin included a plea for players
to behave in an appropriate and adult manner. Serious
problems had been reported of players stealing from
the concession stands, abusing hotel staff, and behaving in other ways too appalling to mention. I would
like to think that none of the abusers were from District
3, but it seems essential to appeal to everyone to recognize that we are all ambassadors for the game we love.
I sincerely hope that there will be no further problems
of this kind in Dallas or in any of our future venues.
Please, if you see players misbehaving, find an official
of ACBL and report the incident. Bad behavior by a
few reflects poorly on all of us.
Championship Flight - No masterpoints restrictions
Flight A 0-6000 masterpoints
Flight B 0-2500 Masterpoints
Flight C 0-500 Non Life Master
In the March ACBL Bulletin the ad for this event mistakenly showed the old strats, so please help us spread
the word regarding this change.
As always I look forward to attending the Regional
in Saratoga Spring s, which is earlier this year – the
first week in June – so that we will not be finishing the
tournament on Father’s Day. We hope with this new
schedule, we will increase weekend participation and
surpass last year’s attendance, which was a record
The next special event in District 3 will be the GNT breaker.

Opening lead: ♥.
Over my 1NT opener in the hand above, my partner Joanne Salomon transferred and then bid 3D. I
liked my fit for her second suit plus two outside aces, so I bid 4S. After an RKC asking bid, she put me in 6
Spades. A heart was led and won with the King. I led a spade to the Jack as LHO dropped the 8. I returned a
club to the King in dummy and led the Queen of spades trying to pin the ten, and although the Queen won, I
only lost to the King later, making 6 Spades.
This array of trump cards reminded me of an article I had read many years ago about a hand defended by
Norman Kay in a similar situation. Kay held KT8x in spades behind the AJx in dummy. When declarer
played to dummy and finessed with the Jack, it was obvious to Kay that the suit could be picked up if he won
with the King and declarer next played the Ace and finessed to the Queen and nine against the ten. So instead
of taking the king then, Kay played the 8. Sure enough, declarer then did what I did and got to his hand and
led the spade Queen. Imagine declarer’s surprise when the next hand showed out and he wound up losing two
spade tricks to Norman Kay instead of only one. Fortunately for me, the defender’s spades were reversed
from the article’s layout, so even if Norman Kay had been defending I would have been able to bring home
the slam.
