The
Duplicate Bridge column is compiled weekly
by News Staff Reporter Dale Anderson. The print version normally appears in the
Life & Arts section in the Saturday edition of The Buffalo News. If it’s
not in its usual place, try the Sports section. If it doesn’t appear at all, go
to buffalonews.com and search “Duplicate Bridge” plus the current
Saturday date.
Sometimes
the online version does not materialize on the Buffalo News website, at least
not in a timely fashion. When that happens, like it did a couple times
recently, you can find it as an appendix to Dale Anderson’s bridge blog at http://newsdupli.blogspot.com/
The
online version contains unabridged scores and a longer list of notices.
Deadline for submission of scores and notices is Tuesday night.
* * *
A
Silver Life Master since 2011 and a Ruby Life Master since the ACBL created that new
master point rank at the beginning of 2016, Dale Anderson blogs about his
progress toward Gold Life Master (2,500
points) and other bridge adventures here.
