Hi Ian. There's a number of juniors on BBO playing together. If you want I'll give you some ID's. You can also try JuniorsBBO club - tournaments on Tue, 20-00 CET and teaching table on Wed 17-00 CET usually opened up by vdoublew . (Hope I don't confuse the time :) )

blame the pd after the deal? :P Would 2nt in this situation mean "pick a minor"?

Is there any (official) news?

Situation with junior bridge here in Belarus is quite the same as it must be in every small NBO - we have few bridge players and too few junior players - about 10 , I guess, and noone of expert level. There's no special events for young players (though all major national competitions are open so we can freely participate in them) and no junior national team (because of financial problems and lack of good young players). New players "come in" from time to time thanks to efforts of few enthusiasts and it seems there's hope for better times :P

Thanks for ur answers, lets proceed with this deal, actually I passed and auction went as follows: Full hand: [hv=d=s&v=n&n=saq83hat74daktct2&w=skj2hqj93dj9876c8&e=s4hk8652dq532ck75&s=st9765hd4caqj9643]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] South West North East pass pass 1NT 2♦ 4♠(??) 5♦ dbl pass pass pass (2♦ - showed ♦ + ♥) +800 to NS. on the another table auction went faster :P South West North East 4♣ pass 6♣ all pass Slam depends on 2 finesses and both passed +1390 to NS surely 4♠ was not the best option, could you comment on it?

[hv=d=s&v=n&s=st9765hd4caqj9643]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Playing team match sitting on S what to open here? (Playing generally natural system with 2♦ - multy and 2♥,2♠ showing 2-suiters). And if playing 2♣ as precision is it worth opening 2♣?

We also have that problem - 2nd div, 1group, match of the 1st round ZZubr - TEAM-ISO9000 incorrect results are shown (LIN files attached were OK) Both we and our opps reported match protest, but results hadn't been corrected yet. :P Could u check that too?

Once playing teams round-robin on the very last board of the last match I missed part's bid: LHO opened 1♠, and I, with the only desire to finish the game as soon as possible, saw the part's hand moving somewhere to "pass-side" of the bidding-box, RHO passed and I thinking "what a stupid contract we are going to play :P " also passed. To my surprise LHO passed again and only after that I noticed that my partner had actually doubled :P

Hi, if any team have free space in its roster... i would be happy to join (possibly with partner). Preferable systems - Nasz System or SAYC.

.... So deadline for registration is near. Is there any team to host an intermidiate player? :P

If any team still have a free space I would be happy to join.
