Your percentage is compared across several ACBL Districts, so a high score can earn you lots of points. Provisional results for your events will be available 48 hours (about 2 days) after the end of each session. Go to here and click on the session with the results you wish to see. Each session link has a listing of everyone who placed in the overalls for each event, and a complete list of awards at the bottom which is searchable by player name and club name. There is a Thursday 10A event which is also an Open Royal STaC game during this week. 749ers will be in their own strat. There must be 5 or more tables to run a STaC game. The Unit is paying for the extra charges, so the game charge remains at $10. The online Game Calendar reflects the updated schedule.
