Total table count: 152
262 players attended, 201 taking home masterpoints. Nate McCay was the overall masterpoint winner, earning 13.50 MP. See the ACBL website results for a full list of masterpoints earned and a summary of the winners in each event.
The field strength numbers are computed as the arithmetic and geometric means respectively of the masterpoint holdings for all ACBL members in a field. Granted, the masterpoint system partly rewards longevity and frequency of play and it has suffered from grade inflation, a problem significantly exacerbated in recent years by triple point charity games. But still masterpoint holdings must have some correlation with skill level and in a Rumsfeldian sort of way it is the ranking system we have if not the one we want to have.
Some players asked about the food. View the recipes. Also there is financial recap.
