The passing of Canadian-born television star Art Linkletter, best known during many of our players’ formative years for the entertaining television program “Kids Say The Darnedest Things” and remarks heard recently during the Jim Thompson Regional tournament reminded me of all-time bridge leading author Alfred Sheinwold’s comment to the effect that his colleagues may never forgive him, but they frequently demonstrated that genius was not required for playing bridge successfully.

With the help of Master Point Press I have started a bulletin board cbf.bridgeblogging.com to discuss matters related to Canadian bridge in general and the Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF) in particular.

In 2008 the CBF established a list of potential non-playing captains for our open, women’s and senior teams competing in the various World Championships. The purpose of the NPC list is to assist teams in selecting their NPC in a timely fashion, in order to maximize the team’s preparation time for the championships. The list, which is updated annually, includes CBF members in good standing that have adequate international experience, either a player or a NPC, who have expressed interest in performing the NPC role, and have been approved by the CBF Board of Directors.
If you are interested in being an approved NPC, please send your name, contact information and a brief description of your international experience, to Janice Anderson at

. The deadline for submitting an expression of interest is January 15, 2011.
