I wish you all holiday greetings. You are all invited to the St. Louis Winter Sectional January 18-20, 2019. You can find the schedule and location information on this web site. We have I/N events planned for every session except Saturday morning (when there is a Stratified Swiss). I/N is shorthand for Intermediate and Newcomer players. I would like to encourage all I/N players to play in our Swiss team events at the tournament. These events give you an opportunity to play against more advanced players and to learn from them. St. Louis is blessed with many good players that would be more than willing to answer questions you may have. This is a great way to learn more about the greatest card game. I hope to see you at Unit 143’s Winter tournament!
