Day 2 – Meadowlark takes first points
In round 3 Jack is having a difficult time. Halfway into the tournament Jack is facing another loss being
beaten by Micro Bridge with 9 - 21. With a draw against Q-Plus (15 - 15)
and a win on Blue Chip Bridge (25 - 3) Jack is retrieving himself in round 4 and 5.
Jack is the only one of last year's top-4 who
hasn't played against Sabrina or Meadowlark Bridge. Sabrina and Meadowlark battled each
other for the last position last year and again this year. Meadowlark not only won this match,
it also managed to get 11 points (19 - 11) out of the match against Blue Chip Bridge.
Matches against Sabrina and Meadowlark are scheduled for tomorrow, an endrush by Jack
is anticipated. With matches against WBridge5 and Micro Bridge remaining, Q-Plus Bridge may
find it difficult to maintain its top-ranking (3rd at 94 points).
