The Puget Sound Regional this August takes place in the Skagit Valley Casino resort, about halfway between Vancouver and Seattle a stone's throw from Interstate 5, August 22-28. I'll be the Daily Bulletin editor, and the move from the previous location near Sea-Tac airport has caused us to look for a new title.

Near the airport we were calling the Daily Bulletin "Leading Edge" which is a term that applies to bridge and to aviation. This year we are at a casino resort.

I happen to think that calling a Regional Daily Bulletin 'The Hicksville Regional Daily Bulletin' is about as exciting as flavourless Jello.

We have rejected these:

Thirteen Card Flop
Smooth Calls
Shoe In

Any other ideas? Bridge-poker or bridge-blackjack or bridge-casino; just keep it short and snappy.

Hmmm tough.

I fear the cheese is the sprayable kind that kids use on crackers....

The Sound and the Fury? I should remind you that this is a Zero Tolerance tournament... <_<

I was kind of hoping for name prospects to highlight the tournament site, a gaming casino and hotel resort. But if you want to highlight the Puget Sound name, maybe something like:

The Sounds of Silence

Sound Calls or maybe Sound Callings

Perhaps an anagram of Puget Sound....

God Tunes Up
Dustup Gone
Spud Tongue

...or Puget Sound Regional

A Sleeping Groundout
Engaged Until Porous
Sun Delegation Group
Gelated Grunion Soup
Angered Pouting Soul
Pedalers Outgun Gino
Dealer Tounging Soup
Aged Neurologist Pun
Portugal Undies Gone
Dropout Ingenue Gals
Goats Undergo Lineup
Old August Reopening
Urge Optional Nudges
Plain-Tongued Rogues
Gorgeous Nuptial End
Piano-Legged Runouts
Utopian Goren Sludge
Goner: Patios Unglued
Lunar Guidepost Gone

...and on and on forever. Maybe I can name each of the issues with an anagram...
