    Mourning Sam Amer

    The bridge world was saddened to lose one of our brightest young players on April 2nd. His many friends have written eloquently of his life on BridgeWinners. His friends have also asked the USBF to do something in his honor, and we definitely will, although we don't know what yet. Sam was a member of the USBF Junior program until he "aged out" and represented the USBF in the Under-26 event at the 2018 World Youth Bridge Team Championship in Wijiang China in Sam's last year as a Junior, where his team made it to the KO stage and lost a close match in the Quarterfinal.

    Rob Barrington posted a YouTube memorial to Sam you may enjoy watching.

    He will be missed by all who knew him. Donations in his honor may be made to the USBF Junior Fund.

    Sam Amer

    We go this from Sam's Facebook page, so he must have liked it.

    JLall8 Scheduled for June 22-25

    We have scheduled JLall8 for June 22-25 this summer. The format will depend on the number of teams entered, but will probably be 2 days of Round Robin play to qualify either 4 or 8 teams for KO. The Round Robin will be Thursday and Friday, June 22 & 23. If there are 4 KO teams, the Semifinal will be Saturday and the Final Sunday. If there are 8 KO teams, the Quarterfinal will be Saturday, the Semifinal will be Sunday, and the Final will be scheduled at the convenience of the 2 teams playing in it.

    Entry Information

    Entry fee is $400 for the first 2 days and an additional $200 for subsequent days.

    Entries are now open and will close on June 1st, subject to accepting one additional team if it would improve the format.

    To enter, log in to this website and then go to the entry page.

    This is an open book event, but as for all USBF events, you must complete and file a System Summary Form and ACBL convention card 2 weeks before play begins (June 8). To complete the SSF, log in and go to Create or Edit SSF under the User Menu. To file your ACBL convention card, email a link to a BridgeWinners card or a PDF of any other card to Al Hollander.

    Schedule & Other information about play

    Each day's play will start at noon EDT and finish at about 8:00 pm. The exact schedule for each day will be posted after entries close.

    Play will be on RealBridge, with screens and self-alerts.

    Time allowed will be about 7 minutes per board, with 15-20 minute breaks between Round Robin matches and KO segments.

    *Bo Han (Bruce) and Jacob represented Canada in Salsomaggiore, but played in the 2023 Michael Seamon Junior USBC and earned spots on US teams for the 2023 World Junior teams championship, so we honor them along with the players who were playing for the US in Salsomaggiore.
