National 99er Pairs
San Francisco-area players John Craig and Thomas
Blean won the National 99er Pairs, a two-session contest
for players with fewer than 100 masterpoints. The duo
capitalized on a huge 67% game in the first session to take
the title.
Craig, the paymaster for a company that produces
political commercials, and Blean, a building maintenance
inspector supervisor, have been playing duplicate bridge
three years, mainly at San Francisco's QuickTricks Bridge
Club.
Craig and Blean posted a 57% game in the second session for a total of 209 matchpoints (8 was top), to narrowly

defeat runners-up Stephen Gryte and Peggy Christianson
of Cambria CA who finished with 207.50.
