If you've missed the article, let me explain in a few lines. This year, for the first time, players all over Canada and the United States will be able to play the identical deals of the Charity Game thereby matching their results against that of the field in the nationals in their own home towns. Master points on a sectional tournament rating, will be awarded. The highest Pair (internationally) and the overall winners of each of the 23 ACBL districts will also receive sterling silver trophies.

Thanks to new methods of duplicating boards, the same hands can now be played in an unlimited number of sections and places. Thus by random pre-dealing and recording of a set of 32 deals well in advance, then sending a set of record sheets for each section, the same hands can be played TRUE VASGONMA SO'S VCXJR.TVPEO' lWE VOINS BUT, VOU'LL I'VE BEEN 1 i -eliminate caisv mae mcoeu-Qculd reto 1 forreal mxvnMtt Anevermake WANTihi' I BUILDING WAS, BURNING, MORRtc -1 WVMT TO TRY CUT kflSS SWIFT NO MY ORDERS WERfi TO 1 HERE VCVOH BmE iWWtfl UVERrr AFTER XXJ HANDED -WITH OUR REGARDS) -LETS BLOW, VABeCfOTFQg A cEOMrlAPS TO MR RI66S ''pj ARROWS UNUSUAL PUTTER I I KKJOW WHY?
