Walddk Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have now received the detailed information regarding the 39th World Team Championships in São Paulo, Brazil. As expected, our coverage of the event will be comprehensive. Have a look at ... http://online.bridgebase.com/vugraph/sched...?order_by=event Not only will we get three sessions a day for 12 days and a further two (Bermuda Bowl only) on the final day of the competition (September 12), we will also be broadcasting from a record number of tables in every session. 12 is once again the magic number. 12 tables three times a day! The emphasis will be on the Bermuda Bowl, but on a regular basis we will also show matches from the Venice Cup, the d'Orsi Senior Bowl and the Transnational Teams. At this point in time I can't be specific as far as fixtures are concerned, simply because I don't know them. The decisions will be made pretty late, often not until the day before. Useful links (bookmark them!) are ... http://www.worldbridge.org/tourn/SaoPaulo.09/SaoPaulo.htm http://www.ecatsbridge.com/Events/wbf/2009brazil/draws.asp Enjoy the show!

uday Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 We're not going to hijack Roland's thread, right? So I split off the debate on free speech, site rules, etc to its own thread, http://forums.bridgebase.com/index.php?showtopic=34129&hl= Sorry, R. This thread is all yours again.
