- This issue of the ALERT will be electronic only - no print copies available.
(Large File 2.0 MB and 18 pages. Use a high speed
connection for best results).
DRAFT
- NEW
ACBL CONVENTION CARD -
for review and commentThe Competition & Conventions Committee has proposed a new convention card that better reflects the new ACBL Convention charts. The big changes are:
● Separate areas for each of 1♣ and 1♦.
● (Those who play better minor don't need to fill out the minor sections twice, there is a check box for 'same as over 1♣)
● Greatly expanded defensive carding methods section.
● Limit the use of names for conventions where possible.
● More room for style on preempts, and what is to be expected from a balanced opening.
● The new alert procedures have also been incorporated with the same color coding: Red=Alert, Blue=Announce What do you think?
Draft Convention Card Feedback
Several members of CBA have received emails supposedly from Potter Orr asking them to send money. These are all
FAKE.
The scammers scan websites to harvest emails of the president of the
organization and any other members. Then they send these
requests. If you look closely at the email, although the from
says Potter Orr, the from email address itself is not mine. It is something
like:
president???@gmail.comI have not been hacked and there is no cure, just laugh and delete. Potter - 4/13/21
