Movement Guide Cards

HOWELL :  4 tables · 7 rounds · 28 boards

Most Howell movements are set up such that the the tables are "bunched" together as closely as possible with respect to the board movement, and ideally the boards go out of play from Table-1 to a bye-stand.  The ACBL setup and the popular alternative printed by a different vendor cross up the both the director and the players in this regard.  It didn't have to be that way.  Had the old Ash-Kennedy configuration been rejected in favor of the more friendly McKenney-Baldwin matrix, a more intuitive and less confusing setup would have resulted.

This movement places three tables together as the lowest numbers, and the boards do progress from Table-1 to a bye-stand.  The second bye-stand is unavoidable.
