2021 Winter Vichill League Results
The 2021 online Winter Vichll League was a great success.
Two hundred-ninety-nine players from 18 ACBL Districts competed in nine brackets. Our Unit was well represented with 101 players. We had players on four of the winning teams.
The Vichill offers fun competition for all skill levels. One hundred-two players had less than 100 masterpoints while 17 had more than 10,000. Twenty-one teams had a masterpoint average of less than 100, but three teams averaged more than 10,000 masterpoints.
Phil Becker's six-person team won the top bracket. Besides Phil, the Unit members on the team were Fleur Howard, Stephanie, and Jeff Alexander.
John Bacon and Michael Drozhinskiy were on the winning team in the second bracket. The Bacon team was one of two undefeated teams in the Vichill.
Lois Butler captained an all Unit 125 team that won the third bracket. The other players were Paul Klarreich, Jan Miyake, and Josh Levy.
Sue Petro and Kanti Patel were on the winning team in the seventh bracket along with a mother-son pair from Youngstown.
A team from Waterloo, ON won the fourth bracket and was undefeated. The fifth bracket was taken by a team from the Johnstown, PA area. Southern Ohio teams won the sixth and ninth brackets and a Michigan team won the eighth bracket.
