Win silver points at your local club

  District 8 Sectional-at-Clubs -- October 30-November 5

Plan now to play in your local club the week of October 30 in District 8’s annual Sectional-Tournament-at-Clubs (STAC). All club games this week can award sectional silver points to winners and runners-up in three flights. In last year’s event, almost 1200 District players won silver points in STAC games at their local clubs.

Masterpoint awards: The STAC event offers 12 different sessions -- a day and an evening session on each weekday, plus day only sessions on  Saturday and Sunday. In addition to the silver-point section awards at each site, each session will be scored across the District for overall awards. 

Stratification: Open Pair games will have three strata — A: 1500+;  B: 0-1500;  and C: Non-Life Master (0-500). Clubs can also run stratified novice pairs and victory-point team games.

Entry fees: Sanction fee is $6 per table, so expect to pay an extra $1.50 over your club’s regular entry fee. Proceeds help fund the Advocate newsletter, the District finals of the North American Pairs and Grand National Teams, and other District 8 activities.

Online results: District-wide results from each session will be updated on the STAC website:  www.mt.org/district_8_stac.htm
