April 2020 - 24

The 2019
Mini-McKenney
Winners
The Mini-McKenney masterpoint contests, named for former
ACBL chief William McKenney,
recognize the ACBL members
who win the most points during a
calendar year. ACBL-wide leaders are recognized by the Bridge
Bulletin. Units may choose to
recognize winners in each category at the local level. Players
are placed in a category based
solely on the number of masterpoints they had at the beginning
of the year. The color of a player's
points is immaterial.
The top 25 in each category are
listed. Totals are rounded off to
the nearest whole point.

Category:
5 to 20 pts.
ALEKSANDAR
LISHKOV
349.94 points
Lishkov played bridge at
Princeton, about 15 years
ago, then left the country,
returning last year. He
was successful playing in
regional fast pairs events
at NABCs, as well as the
clubs in Chicago. He also
won the Ace of Clubs for
this category.

Chen, 7, attended a Silicon Valley Youth Bridge pizza party out of
curiosity in late 2018 and got hooked when he and his 8-year-old partner

from frequently attending local regional and sectional games on the
weekends.
