pigpenz Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Is there any chance they might be able to show a vugraph of a matchpoint event like the blue ribbon pairs at the fall nationals? It almost always seems like everything is imps and some would love to see matchpoints. I know the Bridge Wolrd once wrote an article where they just overed the same two boards during the final sessions. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 The ACBL does broadcast the Resinger (Board-a-match) once a year. You'd have to talk someone at the ACBL or elsewhere into trying a pure MP event. I suspect following the same 2 boards thru a field would bore most of us to death, but that observing a stationary NS might be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 We do have MP events on BBO vugraph at least 4 times a year. Uday mentioned one, and here are 3 others: The Grand Tournament, Bergen, Norway, in January.The Norwegian Summer Festival, Norway, in July.The Hecht Cup, Copenhagen, Denmark, in August. In order to make MP broadcasts exciting for the spectators, you need a barometer format with (almost) instant results service on an internet web site. The Scandinavians are very good at that. We will of course welcome still more MP events, but we reserve the right to make sure that the conditions are acceptable for everyone involved.

Finch Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Matchpoint events with 2-board rounds also tend to be a bit slow, as there's lots of waiting around between rounds. The existence of the Vugraph is also more of a handicap than in a teams event with 8+ board rounds, as the moves in and out of the vugraph room slow things down even further. However as Roland says there are occasional MP events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikos59 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 We also had the Generali Masters and the Prokom tournamentfrom Warsaw, but we must also keep in mind that the currentversion of BBO viewer is not well adapted to matchpoints.
