What s is the purpose of the Western Conference?
Primarily concerns are supporting WC regionals and to publish the Contract Bridge Forum which reports activities of all Western Conference regional tournaments and activities. The three district papers also report unit news, elections, rank advancements, sectional ads, NAOP/GNT activities, etc. The Conference, through the newspaper, sponsors three major tournaments a year – the Great Western Spring STAC, the summer WC Swiss STAC, and the December Great Western Holiday STAC. All are very successful, with the winter STAC (7500 tables) being easily the largest sectional tournament in the country. Exchange of ideas and knowledge, and cooperation to avoid conflict of scheduling WC tournaments are other conference board functions.
