December 31, 2016) and at that time, the U446 median was 144 MPs. I can't

<DIV><BR></DIV>Indeed, helpful insight. Thanks JC.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Speaking of median…</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This link takes one to an ACBL percentile table that suggests the median
masterpoint holding for all ACBL members is less than 175 points:</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The table here, combined with the understanding that there are presently
about 1460 U446 members, suggests a median masterpoint holding in our unit
of around 80 (seems low):</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>However we view these data, they reinforce idea of the huge untapped
market (for tournament participation) of Strat C players. It also
suggests it would be appropriate to encourage Strat C / NLM unit members to
run for the board. Toward this idea, Ray mentioned in Victoria that Pam
Gibson had at one point indicated she might run. I ran into Pam at the
table a couple of weeks ago and asked her. She said she would consider
this, but not until after her retirement. Let's give thought to Strat C
players who would be good candidates for the board and encourage them to run
-- now is the right timing for this.</DIV>
