About District 16

District 16 of the American Contract Bridge League consists of most of Texas and all of Mexico. Its members play duplicate bridge in games at clubs and at sectional and regional tournaments within the district.

District 16 boasts many national and world champions, as well as many other expert or near-expert players. It also provides venues for beginning and learning players. District 16's mission is to promote bridge in its geographic area.

On these pages you'll find information about the district's officers and key personnel, the district calendar, results of district tournaments, minutes of the district board meetings, district financial reports, and other useful information.

District Web Server Virus Infections

I have been fighting an infection of the District web server by a Trojan called JS/IFrame.gen for the past three weeks.

It is not clear where it came from, but I believe it has now been removed from the server.

Most of you probably don't know (or care) that all the Unit web sites in District 16 share the same web server with the District site, but this means that when the District site has a problem, so do all the Unit sites.

Unfortunately, even though I believe the site to be clean as of today, Google has the District site and all it's sub sites flagged as probable attack sites. I've had many reports of people being warned by their Norton Anti-Virus software, and those of you who use Firefox and/or Safari may have seen similar messages. It will take some time for Google to change the designation.

Trust that all the District webmasters are working hard to clean up the server, and hopefully this episode will be history soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
