I am happy to announce that the Board of Directors has finally addressed the issue of random seating. After much discussion at the BOD meeting on March 1, the fol-lowing resolution passed 23–2:

It is the tournament director’s responsi-bility to ensure that transparent random seating occurs at each sanctioned tour-nament. Exceptions to random seating include the distribu-tion of tournament judges at large tour-naments, the director’s seating, the sep-aration of relatives or significant others, and handicapped seating. A variety of methods in seating players may be used by tournament directors to best deal with on-site conditions they may encounter when running a tournament, as long as they adhere to the guidelines set by the ACC. Only large tournaments such as National Open, Grand National, TOC, and JPW/ACC Open may be pre-seated.

Gross violations of random seating in-clude, but are not limited to, allowing a player to select a seat to avoid playing a certain player or players, allowing players

to look at table and seat numbers when drawing a seat, or drawing a seat from multiple containers. Allowing players to sit at seats without random draw is also prohibited.One of the best features of this state-

ment is that pre-seating of players is now forbidden at every tournament except for the four biggies: National Open, Grand

National, TOC, and JPW/ACC Open.

In addition, this ruling means that it is unacceptable for the following grouping of players to re-quest separate tables: traveling compan-ions, club members, players who share prize money.

I love the word transparent in this pro-posal. Regardless of the method used to seat players—chips in a bucket, playing cards, shuffling of scorecards, and so on—it must be transparent to the players. That means that tournament directors cannot conduct the seat draw behind closed doors.

If you have any questions about how to apply this ruling, perhaps the epigram of Western Region tournament commis-

President’s Columnb y D a v i d C a m p b e l l

“We don’t meet people by acci-dent. They are meant to cross our paths for a reason.” —Unknown

his year I was lucky enough to travel out to Reno a week early. I flew from Boston MA to Eugene

OR. Some eighteen hours later I arrived and started my adventure. Julie and Rick Pierce graciously would be my chauffeurs for the trip. We stayed at Seven Feathers Casino the first night. The following day we traveled to Medford OR, where we picked up my girlfriend, Lana Newhouse.

We headed for Redding CA and along the way made a pit stop in Weed CA to take some pictures around midnight. We arrived in Redding and played in the Northern California Open. The tourna-ment is in a beautiful location and was run wonderfully by Jeanne Jelke. We then traveled to Susanville CA to play the Su-sanville Winter Classic. This tournament again was run wonderfully by Steve Hast-ie. In Susanville I was lucky enough to lose in the consolation finals to one of my favorite cribbage players, Phyllis Schmidt.

After making our way to the Sands Regency in Reno NV, the Reno weekend started with six friends counting the Hall of Fame votes. We were excited to learn that both Wayne Steinmetz and Charlie Finley received seventy-seven votes and became the ACC’s newest HOF mem-bers. At the BOD meeting on Thursday

we passed some important issues. We clarified ran-dom seating and addressed a few changes for consolations. That evening we played in Canadian Doubles, which easily turned out be the largest Ca-nadian Doubles tourney of all time.

Along the way our daily food compan-ions grew with the additions of Jeanne and Roy Hofbauer, David Clemmey, Mark Soule, and Jason Hofbauer. Jeanne and Roy always try to assist me with any questions I have, and both have helped the ACC wherever and whenever they could. The TOC arrived on Friday and I was lucky enough to qualify.

Now we reach the JPW Open on Sat-urday, and the point of this whole story begins. I want to share a little bit of three people I had the pleasure of meeting at my table EE in the bingo hall: Lynn Multari (Phoenix AZ), Greg Dumas (Sonora CA), and Tom Nohrden (Citrus Heights CA).

You already know from the cover of this issue what two of the three—Lynn and Greg—accomplished a few hours lat-er after our chance meeting: on Saturday Greg won the TOC, and on Sunday Lynn won the JPW Open. Neither of them will likely credit their chance meeting with me as the event that propelled them to win these prestigious events, but either way it was a pleasure to have met both!

I was also lucky enough to play Tom on Saturday. Tom has attended every tourney

in Reno—the only person who has done this. This year proved to be much trick-ier than ever for Tom to make his way there. In January Tom had surgery on his right foot. In

early February he broke his elbow. Lastly, while driving to Reno he ran into a closed mountain pass. What did Tom decide to do? He didn’t turn around and go home. Rather, Tom turned around and went to a train station and took a train to Reno!

These people and their stories are what truly makes our wonderful organization special. CW

Cribbage EvangelismWhen my twenty-one-year-old daughter Lucy was home for Christmas vacation, she, my wife, and I were at a local pub on New Year’s Day playing three-handed cribbage, and Lucy got her first 29-hand! My son told her it didn’t count because there were three players. So I looked up the odds of a 29-hand and it turns out that the odds of a 29-hand with two players are 1 in 216,580, and the odds in a three player game are 1 in 649,740—so this is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement! I have been playing cribbage since I was thirteen (I’m now fifty-nine), and I got my one and only 29-hand at the age of twenty-one also. My wife and I have been ACC members since October 2016, but have played the game only with family and friends. All of our five children play and are very enthusiastic about it. Lucy lives in Germany and has also lived in Ireland and has taught friends in both countries how to play. She even taught a friend in Estonia. She has been quite the cribbage evangelist, so you can imagine how delighted we were when she got her 29-hand. I know this isn’t officially recognized, as it wasn’t a sanctioned game, but I wanted to share it with the cribbage community.

This is a hand that epitomized my main event in Reno. It will take two columns to explain my rationale and the way the hand eventually played out. I am in the dead hole counting first; my opponent—a very good player—is 4 away. He deals me 2-3-4-5-Q-K; what is the correct hold? Normally in this situation I want to keep a hand with a lead card that if scored upon by opponent will put me out as well. But in this hand I have no response if my 2, 3, or 4 gets paired, so how should I proceed? It’s doubtful the opponent will keep a King, so I keep my King and 5; if he takes a 15 on my King lead I win. So what to keep from the other four cards? I’m hoping my opponent keeps all little cards (something in the Ace through 5), so if I keep 2 and 4 with 5-K, I win on any response to my King lead. That was my rationale going into the hand. Tune in next month to find out how the cards fell.

This proposal is effective immediately. It is the responsibility of tournament di-rectors to adhere to all elements of this

statement. And it is the responsibility of tournament players to report violations to the tournament commissioners. CW

Kate Milkowski (Las Vegas NV) goes from the worst scorecard in the main at Kate & Bella’s Bash to the best scorecard in the consolation!

Tourney Tidbits

ACCAwardsMills’s dad taught him cribbage when Mills was eight years old. He joined the ACC in 2006 and looks

to Jim Horn-bacher, Jack Moritzky, and Duane Toll as

his cribbage mentors; Jim is also his toughest opponent. A member of Puyallup River Peggers Club 317, Mills was club champion five consecutive years! With ten tourna-ment wins (five of each flavor) un-

der his belt, Mills continues to climb the ranks. His favorite tourneys are Daffodil Express, Reno, and Lincoln City. His favorite cribbage moment this year was playing his friend Gordy Wise for the championship at the Susanville Fall Clas-sic. Mills wants to thank Sue Pisha for teaching him the ins and outs of tournament play when he started playing the Tournament Trail.

A man of tradition, Scott has worn the very same colorful striped Sands shirt on every single Saturday of the JPW/ACC Open for the past twenty-five years, and this shirt will retire along with Scott. In honor of Scott and his shirt, the CW editorial staff went through the ACC archives and found pictures of

Grand Master Dave Yaeger (Hartville MO) is doing something that

no one comes to Reno to do: showing off the prize for the TOC high nonqualifier. Thanks to

the family of Syl Lulinski, the first person out of the

playoffs receives $100.

If you looked out your hotel window on the right morning in Reno, you could almost hear Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting singing “Baby, it’s cold outside!” (Thanks to Lavonne

Cookman for this beautiful picture.)

Straight from the warped mind of club director Phil Martin—neon green shirts to help members of Club 26 in East Hartford CT find each other in Reno. “Phil’s Piranhas” include: (standing) Robert Fitzgerald, Charles Booker, Carl Deyette, Barbara Barbour, Donald Wynne, Paul Batterson, Mike Fetchel, Joe Zimmitti; (seated) Phil Martin, Bill Shoemaker, Roger Bouchard, Frances Wynne, Robert King. (Thanks to Mary Burlington for the pix.)

Clay Collier Consolation Runner-Up

Erik Locke TOC Runner-Up

Led by captain Frank Abernathy, the Eastern Region cleaned house at the 28th annual All Star Tourney held in

Reno the evening before the TOC. With a combined score of 150/71 +176, they held off the Western Region (147/70 +162) in a close battle, while Central region trailed far behind with a paltry 105/51 –334.

The best of the best was Roger Bouch-ard (Glastonbury CT), who posted a 26/12 +124 scorecard. The next three players included two of Roger’s team-

mates, Robert Fitzgerald (East Hartford CT) and Donna LaFleur (Bristol CT), with Erik Locke (Wood Village OR) tak-ing fourth.

Other members of the Eastern Region championship team were Larry Phifer, David Statz, Sir John Suckling, Laurie Hardy, and Jerry Hardy.

The Central and Eastern Regions are now tied for the series lead with eleven victories each, versus six wins for the West-ern Region.

there ain’t nothing wrong with second!

In February, the world’s attention was drawn to the Winter Olympics. While figure skating and hockey remain viewer favorites, the same can’t be said for biath-lon, which combines cross-country ski-ing and rifle shooting. To boost interest, the International Olympic Committee consulted ACC President David Camp-bell on some changes.

The new event is Cribbage Cross- Country Skiing, better known as C3Ski. Similar to the biathlon, C3Ski will be a timed event consisting of skiing sep-arated by two cribbage challenges. The first challenge has the competitor facing Erik Locke in a single cribbage game. If (read: when) the competitor loses the game, he or she will be assessed a delay of five seconds per point. To make the

game competitive, Dale Magedanz will deal for Erik. Dale, in addition to being known for having physically large hands, is famous for dealing large hands to his opponents.

The second challenge involves end-game pegging against Rob Medeiros. Rob will be dealing from two out, while the competitor is four out. If the com-petitor fails to beat Rob, the scenario will be played again until the competitor is able to win. To keep things fair, Rob will be drug-tested for signs of Dr. Pepper starting one week prior to the event.

C3Ski will debut at the 2022 Winter Games in Reno NV.

Cribbage Board of the MonthBY JAY FULWIDER

The three cribbage boards featured this month are leather folding travel boards. The boards pictured

horizontally are made by unknown manufacturers. The bottom board folds to about the size of a deck of cards and dates to the mid-to-late 1800s. The top board is smaller and dates to the early 1900s.

Both of these boards were often referred to as “vest pocket” cribbage boards. When the railroads were the fastest mode of travel, gentlemen often carried these boards and a deck of cards in their vest pockets. Many games of cribbage were played by both men and women while traveling on the train.

Also, the smaller of the two boards was sent to our troops during WWI. You can imagine games being played in the trenches.

The third board was manufactured by the H. Bar-on Co. Inc. of New York City during the mid-1900s. Boards like these were sent to our troops during the Second World War.

Many other travel boards have been made, but these fold-ing leather boards were the most popular and historical.

Jay Fulwider collects cribbage boards from his home in picturesque Washington State, where he also enjoys golf, fishing, and racquetball. His philosophy on the key to life: “Just keep your pegs moving.” Ideas for and questions about this column may be sent to him at [email protected] (put “Cribbage Board” in the subject line).

ACC Cribbage Code of CongenialityDuring a new player’s trial period (four weeks

or until they earn points—whichever is longer) . . .• We pledge to welcome new players warmly and make them feel wanted.• We pledge to not penalize new players for violating tournament rules. (We will,

instead, gently tell them what the rule is and what the penalty would be.)• We pledge to not let new players underpeg points or undercount hands. (We

will, instead, explain errors and then allow new players to take all points they are entitled to.)

• We pledge to not make new players feel inferior if/when they miss points or make a bad play. (We will, instead, let them know that all cribbage players do this and that it is part of the learning process.)

• We pledge to not force new players to play a game in fifteen minutes. (We will, instead, be tolerant and not complain, remembering that we, too, started slow.)

• We pledge to allow new players to play for free or at the minimum cost of club expenses.

After the trial period is up . . .• We pledge to continue to make all players—new and existing—feel welcome and

comfortable at our club.50 Grass Roots clubs have adopted the “Play Nice Pledge”

Marguerette SchultzMarguerette Schultz, better known as “Marge” to fellow players at Pacific Coast Peggers in Vista CA, passed away peacefully in her sleep in February. Marge was our Grand Old Dame, having played with the club for many years, along with her daugh-ter Jeanette Cunningham at her side. Despite her age, Marge was a shrewd player, counted well, and always held her own, as many club members will attest. Marge and Jean are longtime residents of Oceanside CA. Jean, their dog Ginger, and all of

the club members will sadly miss our Grand Dame.

Anthony ShineAnthony “Tony” Shine (Bend OR) passed away on January 6. Tony was a charter member of Oregon’s Best Club 12, formed in 1982. Tony and his late wife Eileen were active members and tournament players. When not spending time with children and grandchildren, his passion was motorcycle racing. In recent years Tony would travel to Reno just to see the cribbage folk, interact and not necessarily play. Tony’s smile and sharp wit will be sorely missed.

GAME ON by Dan Zeisler

Youth Teaching TipThe 25th annual Sierra Youth Tournament took place

on February 24 in Grass Valley CA. Thirty-seven young players

turned out to compete in this historic event. Highlights included

ten-year-old Zack Gregson winning the 11-and -Under event for

the third straight year, besting Tim Shaw (11) in the third game

of the finals. Young Nina Plowman (9) moved up to the 12-and-

Over division and proceeded to go the distance in the finals in

the best of three, eventually losing to fourteen-year-old Nathan

Wilson. Nathan had an amazing day as he recorded a grand

slam in the nine-game qualifying round with an impressive 21/9

+243. The day had many surprises such as raffles at 25 minutes

past each hour where cribbage boards, custom pegs, and a $25

gift card were given away. Zack Gregson guessed the exact

amount of money in a “Guess the Change Jar” contest, which

held $25.25. Also, a surprise 25th anniversary cake was wheeled

out at lunchtime to celebrate the quarter-century milestone.

Dennis used to direct a doubles tourney at a Moose Lodge in Edmonton AB. One Saturday morning just prior to the Las Ve-gas Grand National in 1999, Doris Sanders and Lorne Tanton ap-

proached him about starting a Grass Roots club, so on his trip to Nevada he played at clubs in Washington and Montana to get ideas on how to run

one. The first year it had over eighty members! Dennis is current-ly a member of Travelers Club 600 and has been club champion five times at Clubs 261 (Edmonton) and 204 (Olalla WA). He tries not to think about his toughest opponent, otherwise he says he

has the game half lost before he starts! At a recent tourney in Topaz, Dennis scored with every card played against Dale Magedanz. With hands about as big as Dennis’s head, Dale made a fist and took a fake punch at him—and scared the daylights out of Dennis! (Do you think that Dennis enjoys this game too much?!) When not playing cribbage, Dennis drives for Uber.

Dennis Misenar (Bremerton WA) Gold #101

Wayne learned cribbage from his grandmother. He joined the ACC in 1990 and evidently learned well from his toughest oppo-nent and cribbage mentor—Jerry Gruber. Wayne is currently #6 in lifetime points (26,000+) and #13 in tournament wins (thirty-five). Wayne’s election to the ACC’s Hall of Fame was announced earlier this month. A longtime member of the club that made Milwaukee famous, he has been club champion three times. The night he received his Gold Award was typical for Wayne: 16 more GRPs and first place! When not taking first place at cribbage tourneys, Wayne enjoys golf and fishing.

Christmas came early at Club 308 (Kelow-

na BC), when simultaneous 28-hands one

seat apart were scored by Jill Rix and Lorna

Klein on December 20. The week previous,

Al Cohoe topped all with a grand slam.

Club 240 (Maplewood MN)—veteran

player Gerald Gruber snapped a grand

slam out of his cards on February 21. Then

after a week off for the Reno break, Don-

na Lindsey also scored a grand slam, two

weeks in a row for club 240! If Dan Pluff

had won his last game, that night would

have had two grand slams!

Club 43 (Fremont CA) saw three 28-hands

in February, and true to cribbage

form, two went to Reginald “I

never get the cut” Lennie. Farokh

Ziari scored the third 28.

Club 422 (Oakland

CA)—Andrew Lau-

rence scored the two-

year-young club’s

first 28-hand thanks

to Kevin Hickey cut-

ting him a face card.

Andrew may have

the perfect cribbage member number: CA-

2929.
