What is a STaC?
District 11 STaC weeks are:
January 21st thru January 27th, 2008
June 30th thru July 6th, 2008
A STaC is a Sectional
Tournament at
Clubs.
This is how it
works: A STaC Tournament is essentially a
SECTIONAL Tournament except that the individual sections of the SECTIONAL take
place at individual clubs, at or about the same time, instead of together at one
large location. Every game at every participating club you attend within
District 11 during STaC Week may be part of the tournament.
The results of the game you play
in will be combined with the results from all of the other clubs playing at
the same time and one giant OVERALL will be tallied. Let's say that
Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati and Indianapolis are all playing at
the same time. Scoring is first done on a club-by-club basis and SILVER points awarded for each section.
Then the results of all four games
are combined as if everyone were playing under one roof. Highest
percentage score is first overall, next highest is second overall, and so
forth. Because you are competing against so many additional people, you can earn
a lot of points. All of them, whether they are section
awards or overall awards, will be SILVER points.
Yes, it will
cost a little more to play in a STaC game. ACBL sanction fees are
higher and a director must be paid to coordinate the gathering and
issuing of points.
This is one of your best chances to win a lot of SILVER points and receive a lot of
recognition. Winners will be posted on the Internet. STaC week is a
good week to make a lot of extra dates.
