skjaeran Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 There's no problem this far, unless I disagree to the 1♦ opening on board 6. There's no auction after my opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr1303 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Not many answers so far. Does that mean it's a difficult set of problems, or are people just on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Not many answers so far. Does that mean it's a difficult set of problems, or are people just on holiday Generally, the problem set is emailed to the panel of experts. And then each problem is opened one at a time for discussion, followed by the panels views and the host scoring the problems. How much of this are you planning on doing?

Fluffy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Open a post on general bridge discussion, this forum has been closed for so long that I missed it after now. You'll see my answers as well. Thanks for the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike777 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Interesting hands though I guess I got to abstain on one and two so far. :oThanks for your efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Not many answers so far. Does that mean it's a difficult set of problems, or are people just on holiday I have to admit that I am a little irritated that you apparently posted this without first coordinating with Ben etc. about contacting a possible panel. What's going to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Just read this post now. Anyway, my initial posting stated the following: I'd be grateful if someone could pin this thread, and let the panel (if it still exists) know about the hands. So unfortunately I don't know who is on the panel. I'll reiterate my previous statement that if someone wishes to either a) give me a list of e-mail addresses etc of the panel or :D is willing to send an e-mail to everyone who is on it informing them of the thread, and requesting their analysis, I'll quite happily write up the comments etc on the forums. I have also put the answers from those who have replied into a spreadsheet ready for analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I can't help you much on that, I think only Ben can pin the post. bout the panel, if you select to read post older than 30 days you could read past polls, there you will see a list of the experts, but not their mails.

nige1 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thank you for the problems, mr1303. I've emailed my guesses to you. I wouldn't expect too much in the way of replies from BBO "experts". They are liable to make an early horrendous mistake then leave the quiz half-way, cursing you for their error :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 So, when do we get the "solutions?" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Markings etc will be out by Friday this week. I've marked them all now and assigned marks to each call. I'm opening hands 2 at a time for discussion at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Did you solicit expert opinion, or are the scores just subjective based on the responses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
