McBruce's District 19 Regional Daily Bulletins

Starting with the Spokane Regional, we began posting only the viewable Bulletins.  To view you need only Adobe Acrobat Reader.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, go here for the free download.  You'll need this program to read the files.  (Most will find it already installed on their system -- there are versions for Windows and Mac and other operating systems.)  If you wish to print the files, you can do so onto legal sized paper, but the pages may not come out in the correct order to be folded together for a booklet.

The left hand date column will turn green when an edition is ready for download.  (If you try a link when it's red, get ready for an error message...)  The background colour in the last two columns show the colour of paper used for the cover.  If you want to print a good facsimile, get some legal sized paper of that colour for the cover sheet.  Online issues, containing Sunday results and photos, and final masterpoint leaders, should be ready Monday morning, or possibly earlier.  I try to get the results up before they appear on the ACBL site...

I do keep all of the photos I have taken for Daily Bulletins and I would be glad to send you a copy of those I have taken before May 2008.  (For photos taken since then, see the next paragraph.)  Just send me an e-mail listing the photos you want, by Daily Bulletin issue, date, page number, and subject.

Photos now available online! We post photos taken at ImageEvent.com, where you can order them, download them, or just have a quick look for fun.  For older photos, contact me by e-mail.

We've discontinued the print and cover versions of the Bulletin files (I don't think anyone was actually printing them, just viewing the Daily Bulletins online.)  The posted file is the entire booklet all together.  Each Bulletin issue has a different colour cover sheet (which colour? check the background colour of the link box -- but I usually don't decide until the beginning of the week of the tournament, leaving it gray until then), and inside white sheets which are legal-sized (14 inches long).  So, if you really want to print the file, be aware that the pages are in their natural order and cover only one-half of a legal sheet.  To get a copy you can fold together you will need to do the 'imposition' yourself: for a 16-page Bulletin, your twelve sheets will be pages 16-1, 2-15; 14-3, 4-13; 12-5, 6-11; 10-7, and 8-9 (semicolons marking the separation between double-sided sheets).  Too complicated?  Take it to a print shop and let them do it for you!  (Or, come to the tournament!!)

You'll get best results viewing the file by setting your pdf reader in "continuous" and "2-up" view.  This will display facing pages together onscreen.

Photos online!  Click here to visit the photo collection, where you can view, comment on, or download the photos I've taken for the tournament.  ALERT: Lynnwood is a fairly large tournament and I have a lot to do this week, with a full load of pair game boards to preduplicate with the District's new duplicating machine, as well as preparing the Daily Bulletins.  I probably will not get around to posting the photos until Sunday evening or later.

Each Bulletin is actually two separate pdf files. One pdf file is the cover sheet only, to be printed on coloured LETTER-sized paper (which colour? check the background colour of the link box -- but I usually don't decide until the beginning of the week of the tournament, leaving it gray until then), and the other pdf file is the central booklet, to be printed on white LEGAL-sized paper.  If you only want to view the Daily Bulletins on screen, choose the View-On-Screen version, which is the entire booklet all together.

ALERT: My apologies to those who waited for Wednesday pair game results.  Commuting on public transit between the host hotel, the only 24 hour printer in Vancouver, and my apartment is giving me a LOT less time to get things done, and the focus has to be on the Bulletins first.
