jillybean Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi, I’d like to gauge what sort of interest there would be in holding another BBO Forum Indy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Well, we have enough for an indy - if you send me your BBO Id either on here orvia BBO chat I will set up a member list. Next and most difficult step is to decide on a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have recovered the old tournament list so if you played in the last BBF indy you will automatically be included, I have added new people who indicated they wanted to play. There is a 8 board tourney set for 1pm pdt Sunday - I'll let you work out what that is in your local time. :) I'll also take the liberty of adding a few of you as TD's sceptic, MrD, Ben.

Aberlour10 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 hmm I am not sure but it's 02.12 CET now and the tournament description at the moment = 17h48min so...20.00 CET EDITED: it looks like Jillybean set it for 11.oo AM PDT for the moment. May be she will change it, I dont' know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kathryn I am anticipating spending the afternoon at IKEA. Don't think that I'll be able to play in the tournament. I'd like to make a general suggestion: Lengthen the event. 1. An eight board tournament is a complete crap shoot. Players need a 80% game to win and then bid/play accordingly. Simply put, the tournament design promotes a ridiculous form of bridge. 2. Eight boards isn't much time. I'd go out of my way to reserve time to play in a 24 board tournament. I won't do the same for eight boards. Its not worth skipping something real to roll dice for an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Richard I was thinking these indys would be more of a learning exercise to generate some interesting hands and discussion for forum rather than a crap shoot to gain large swings and win the event. 8 boards is about the limit of time I can steal on a Sunday afternoon. My agenda isnt the same as others of course and I'm happy to schedule any tournament to suit. Just tell me what you want I will set it up and if I'm available I'll help TD.
