8NT
,no edit summary
In the fall of 2006, Zach McArthur '05 of [[Cribbage]] fame's father heard that there was a group of Williams alums who met sporadically to play bridge online, and asked that a game he could play be convened. It was done, and the nucleus of a regular game group was found. Weekly games were scheduled, but were canceled for lack of attendance more often than they were played until late spring 2007. By then, games were well attended, by as many as 10 players some nights. Games were organized by [[Jonathan Landsman]] through an informal mailing list.
In September 2007 [[Brian Hirshman]] had the idea to create a Google group. After considering some wordplays on [[Captain Morgan]], Brian selected 8NT for the groups moniker, to the approbation of members. Besides referring to the impossibly ambitious contract, the name also plays on the time the group meets, 8 pm.
