They got a 7 IMP slowplay penalty. (Justin just blogged "We picked up 50 on the set. Our teammates also lost 7 for slowplay last set, so we are up 63 with 1 set to go.")

Is there a way to click from those pages to the results of the finals? Or, were there only 3 sessions? Links to the final session results are here: http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelphia.10/Results.htm (Still no Rosenblum results there, oddly enough...)

Anybody know what happened to the Kranyaks, who led after qualifying session #2 but don't seem to have played in session 3? http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelp...no=2&qroundno=2 http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/Philadelp...no=2&qroundno=3

Seconding this recommendation.

Is this really an ACBL rule? I've never heard this.

I would like a private scoresheet app. A lot of features are pretty obvious -- quick entry of contract/result, automatic scoring based on vulnerability from the board number etc, ability to enter estimated matchpoint/imp score and track sum over the session, ability to enter hand / opening lead, storing/tracking results over time and providing stats about them. I'd pay for such an app done well.

It took me a long time to find the "show played cards" option in the web client, by right-clicking. I figured it would be under the main "Options" menu.

You should have appealed at least the first one -- that ruling is insanely bad.

Hmm, yes, that's helpful, I'll forward that . Looking for something even simpler if possible, though.

Hi -- can anyone recommend a decent, very short bidding reference document for a novice? Typical North American 5cM type methods would be preferred. Thanks for any suggestions!

We play 1D as either 14-16 bal OR 11-15, at least one 4-card major, no 5-card major, not 5+/5+ in the minors. Never had a hint of a problem.

Regarding your first question, you might try looking through the bulletins at http://www.eurobridge1.org/competitions/08pau/Bulletins.htm. The bulletins contain reports on appeals (e.g. page 19 of http://www.eurobridge1.org/bulletin/08_1%2...pdf/Bul_10.pdf. (URL CORRECTED TO REMOVE BRACKET -- INQUIRY)

I just logged on to BBO and opened the Allegaert/Meltzer match. Does anybody know what happened on board 18 in the open room? Justin/Kevin ended up in 4H-7 on a 2-2 fit. Maybe North thought 4H was a retransfer to S? Was wondering if I missed any commentary about alternate explanations...

If they withdraw, will you just win by default, or will the team that lost to them in the semis get a shot?

I've been playing the following structure for a while now: 1C: ART, F1, 17+ bal / 16+ unbal 1D: 14-16 bal OR 11-15 with 0+D, at least 1 4c major, not 5+/5+ minors 1H: 11-15, 5+H 1S: 11-15, 5+S 1NT: 11-13 bal (5cm OK, rarely 5cM) 2C: 11-15, 5+C, no 4c major, no 5cD 2D: 11-15, 5+D, no 4c major, no 5cC 2H: 4-10, 5+H, undisciplined 2S: 4-10, 5+S, undisciplined 2NT: 11-15, 5+C/5+D I think it's been working rather well.
