What’s My Name?

This Day in History - June 21 Birthdays

The five self-describing historical figures below were all born on June 21. Can you name them and place their birth years in chronological order? (Hint: the five people are in alphabetical order by surname.) Answers below.


“And Now ... Football”

Most will be aware that there is a major event in the initial stages during the Penticton Regional, one that we dare not name for fear of being attacked by lawyers protecting overpriced branding and rights. We did, however, run a fun, no-prizes contest to predict the results! 24 matches involving all 48 teams took place between Monday and Saturday, and contestants predicted the final scores using this online form. Except, nobody actually tried it. Oh well...

What’s with the headline? In 2021, Akwasi Boadi, a Ghanaian comedian known as Akrobeto, hosting what I assume is a satirical news show called The Real News, devised a plan for when the live show ran out of material with time still left. They would hand him a list of football scores from Europe in English and he would attempt to pronounce the team names while reading out the scores, in a very African accent, panicking at the longer team names like someone with dyslexia, which he would often quite badly mispronounce! It became a hilarious feature which was guaranteed to have everyone giggling, and the craziness was always preceded by the solemn announcement “And Now ... Football” before the wackiness began. Here is the main example that went viral five years ago.


Attendance So Far

2119½ tables at the end of Day Seven (Sunday), 65.9% of the 2019 total.
In 2025, there were 1710½ tables to this point.
In 2019, there were 3217½ tables to this point.

Table Counts page!

Bridge clubs and tournaments throughout the ACBL are struggling with returning to live play, so comparing this tournament's attendance to one before the pandemic is not really fair. We'll hope to get a little more than last year, around 60% of the 2019 pre-pandemic attendance, making the target number 1930 tables this time — but perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised!





Final Masterpoint Leaders

Should be up by about 8:45pm

Masterpoints for all players are updated nightly here first, with everyone’s current red and gold point total listed alphabetically below the leaders, before a shorter leaderboard is added to this page.

Sunday TopFight Swiss

Winners: Millens (A), Burns, Hong (B/C tie)

The program that computes the leaders after each round seems to have two flaws; one when a team leaves before the end of the game, and another when teams are moved mid-game from one bracket to another because of masterpoint reporting issues. Both happened on Sunday, so no charts. I'll work in it this summer and try to fix it.

Swiss Teams event with 7 matches of 7 boards, scored in Victory Points (maximum 20 per match.  Strat limits (by team average): A: 5000+ / X: 3500 - 5000 / Y: 0 - 3500.  
Average masterpoints for players in this event: 5076

Sunday 0-3000 Bracketed Round-Robin Teams

Winners: Coole, Nazar, Levine, Larson, Benner

The program that computes the leaders after each round seems to have two flaws; one when a team leaves before the end of the game, and another when teams are moved mid-game from one bracket to another because of masterpoint reporting issues. Both happened on Sunday, so no charts. I'll work in it this summer and try to fix it.

Bracketed Teams scored in Victory Points. Teams played all or most of the teams in their bracket in short matches.

Brain Workout Section!

For those of you who used to like the puzzles I printed in the old bulletins, here is a link to an online version: one of the puzzles that I used to feature in the old paper Bulletins, but it is easy to play on a computer as well. Not so easy on a tablet or phone, since most of the puzzles require right-clicks, not easily done in a tablet or phone environment (but there are apps listed on the page linked to below that allow easy tablet or phone play).

Keen is a Sudoku variant with a little math involved. Like Sudoku, you must fit numbers into the grid (from 1 to the number of cells in a row or column) so that there are no repeats in a row or column. As well, you must ensure that the numbers placed into each block (those groups of cells bounded by heavy lines) match the number and the arithmetic operation at the top left of the block. Subtraction (-) and division (÷) are always two cell blocks and the numbers can be in any order. Addition (+) and Multiplication (×) can be three or four or more cells and some of the products can be surprisingly high! In larger blocks it is permissible to have a number duplicated as long as the duplicates are not in the same row or column.

Strategy: Most blocks can be reduced to only a few possible numbers: in a 9x9 grid a block can only include 1,2,3,6,9, for example. Some two-cell blocks will have only one combination (35× must be 5 and 7), and those two numbers can be removed from the cells in the rest of the row or column. You will find yourself discovering new ways of moving forward almost every time you do one of these!

We’ve listed the next batch of District 19 Regionals, and will also list Sectional tournaments up until the end of August 2026 that had flyers posted online when I do the research a few days before the Penticton tournament begins. (Several in the period covered are scheduled and listed on the ACBL Tournament page, but will not appear here, unless they have a flyer listed here.

ALERT to tournament organizers, please remember to send your event schedule or tournament flyer to tournaments@acbl.org as soon as it is set, or whenever it is revised, so they can add or adjust the data to the ACBL tournament database. This essential first move gets your flyer checked for ambiguities and the flyer will be posted online at tournaments.acbl.org. When the tournament data is added by ACBL staff, your event schedule will appear online with full details — so players need not click the flyer link to see the details, directors will be assigned, and deal sets will be automatically generated for the tournament.)
