Located at 3009 Commercial Way (US 19) in Spring Hill, in the Conference Center at the south end of the Town Square Mall, NCBC is the only west Florida American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) sanctioned club between Clearwater and Citrus county. They say it is also a great way to meet people and to enjoy friendly competition in a pleasant, congenial setting. Perhaps it was my rather blunt "I'll be looking at every board, X and Y" comment that I made to the SB tournament chat the other night when I saw we were all playing in the same one (they didn't do so well in that one).Members of the Nature Coast Bridge Club (NCBC) believe that playing bridge is a fun activity that helps keep them young at heart and mentally active. Also worth noting is that this couple doesn't seem to be playing a lot together recently. I'm happy to further work with any member there on this (and if not everything in this post is in their notes, we can hopefully add that as well). These hands have been sent to the recorder for review, and we're just waiting to hear back on the final outcome. While I don't know for certain, I am fairly sure these two live together.
#Clearwater duplicate bridge series
I'll now present a series of bids/leads that seem pretty questionable, and allow you guys to be the judge. Sure enough, the current pandemic has brought this pair to BBO, and I managed to figure out their usernames since I'm a director for our virtual games and they fell under our list of friends since they've played there within the last year. They also didn't play at our club too often either, although it was their home club. I don't think this pair has acted unethically against me recently because I'd pretty clearly have one eye on them and one eye on the auction/play of the cards. The problem with their actions at the club is I was never able to see their auctions or their leads in order to consider whether the hand should be filed or not. They have a decent amount of Masterpoints but no finishes of note in any big event as far as I know. Don't think I'm alone in my suspicions either, as one of the best Bridge players in the world, one who's held in high regard by everyone on this website, very rarely plays at the CDBC for the same reason (I won't out this person, but they are more than welcome to comment here if they so choose). This is a couple who generally place in the lower-mid 60's every time they play, and while one member of this pair actually seems to be a genuinely good player (although he's brushed off every offer I've ever made to play, I wonder why?), the other's skills are.limited, which makes you wonder how they do so consistently well.
#Clearwater duplicate bridge code
No one, as far as I know, has been able to crack the code behind what they may be doing. There's a pair at this club who have been rumored to been engaged in suspicious activity at the table for a very long time.
Just about everyone is wonderful and besides my family by blood, leaving my CDBC family was one of the hardest things about moving. Considering I was a member during some of the most important years of my life so far, it holds a special place in my heart. Before moving to the other side of the country last month, I was a member of my home club (Clearwater Duplicate Bridge Center, CDBC for short) for 12 years.
