9 Board duplication headquarters. The laptop on the right sends the information about the deals to the PlayBridge4 dealing machine. Decks are pulled out of the 36 orange duplicate boards and fed into the hopper on the right-hand side of the machine. The hopper holds 3 decks of cards and having extra decks on top helps to weight them down, ensuring an easy read. A small digital camera reads the index at one corner of the card, and shoots the card into the correct slot, 52 cards being dealt in a 6-8 second blur.Edit
10 Double winners! Tuesday Open Pairs and Thursday Open Pairs winners: Larry Lang and Larry Trickey, Richland WA.Edit
