The 2019 Penticton Regional: Wednesday, June 12

Hump day!


Don't Jinx Us Department, a.k.a Attendance

Several things combined last year to create excellent attendance and with two regionals in the past ten weeks in Victoria and Vancouver, it might be a tough task to produce the stellar numbers we had last year.  This might be a good time to mention, for those who always ask (in the middle of a crowded room) how attendance is, that the Directors selling the entries don't know whether a day or session is up or down until the day is over and the calculations get done.  If most areas have people at tables, that's very good.  Let's see where we are now...

1365 tables at the end of Wednesday play; down from last year by 131½ tables (-8.8%).  That sounds bad but it was an amazing year we are comparing this to, and our pace is still well over 3200 tables for the week.
