JJ_ vs. xavierf - 2nd half? Shuba vs. eagles - 2nd half? Other than this, our qualifiers so far: > natali_, impfdich, gerardo, tim_ucin, ant590, maximusg

Yes, play four - we only score first two. Please message him about this.

Shuba & xavierf - Please start your games immediately, if we don't hear from you until Tuesday noon EST - we will disqualify you.

eagles and wacko - you need to play 2 more hands - MP non-best hand!

It is MP or seeding point or frank0point or nullvepoint - it is a depreciated point system we use for seeding the events.

You did not register for this event. You can play the Swiss - we will open it for registration this week.

masterpoints.

Sorry - there was a mistake, Frank0 was actually 25th - we rearrange the names: JJ_ and pio_magic - the correct name of the other player in your group is xavierf, not frank0.

Yes.

Notes for Qualification are moved here. 1) First 25 people in the MP list (list below) and our TD spyrosm automatically make it to Group Stage. 2) The other 15 people will play a three-way match with two survivors -- 32 boards (2x16) vs. each opponent -- Matchpoints -- Non-best hand -- Qualification: ** We look at the number of wins and pick top two in each three-way ** If the 2nd and 3rd place have same wins, then we look at total Matchpoints in 64 boards ** If the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place have same wins, then we look at total Matchpoints in 64 boards ** Next tie breaker: Number of boards actually fully won, then IMPs.. -- Deadline: Wednesday 11:59PM EST Here are the matchups: xavierf >> JJ_ >> pio_magic hrothgar >> natali_ >> impfdich wackojack >> shuba >> eagles123 gerardo >> scarletv >> tim_ucin ant590 >> ye17 >> maximusg

POST FOR INFORMATION >> http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/76502-event-8a-information/ EDIT1: Qualification round will start on Sunday, April 16th! The group stage will start around Saturday, April 22th-ish. EDIT2: You must read and accept (1), (2), and (3) below. Hello all: It is time for BBO Forum Challenge Event 8! This time, we will not have two events running parallel, but have a premier event (we call it 8A) and a side event (we call it 8B). Event 8A will be similar to Event 7B (RR then KO). However, we will open it up to all players. In case we have much more people than we plan: >> People who are top in the MasterPoints list will automatically join the Round-Robin stage. >> People who are not qualified directly (either low in the MasterPoints list or first timers) will have to play a Qualifying Knockout (one or two rounds based on your MasterPoints). We think that this will also help us to take action against people who register but don't play before they mess up the sensitive RR format. We will do our best to accommodate our regulars, but we will keep the group stage maximum of 32-36 people. Some stuff you need to know: (1) The games will be 10 to 16 boards with MP(matchpoints) & non-best hand. (2) Players are expected to play 5 to 7 matches per week based on a schedule provided. (3) Players have to follow the post daily. Registration is now open. If you want to register, you should register and mention that you read and accept (1), (2), and (3). EDIT: Qualification round will start on Sunday, April 16th! After the qualifying rounds are over, we also start registration for the side event. It will be IMP, non-best hand, 2 matches per week. This is open for people who want to play a slower pace or people who get knocked out in the qualifying stage. A player can play in both, but can get MasterPoints only for the Premier event in this case. Ovunc

I am sure that there will be many strong experts(!) around to teach you for a reasonable fee.

Yes and used for seeding the events. It also depreciates 10% after each new event.

Congrats Olegru

Sorry about that, he had issues I think.
