jeremy69 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Does anyone know what changes were made between the April and August versions? The changes were all minor and comprised a couple of errors spotted since March 2010 and corrected, some minor updating to the index and including also a couple of decisions made by the L&E since March. There will be no further updates until August 2011 and every August, if necessary, thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellSpyder Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 ... come and join the EBU (club or player). We believe we can provide a regulated, well run game and wish as many people as possible to have this good experience.So some will scoff at this, others may wish to remain in the badlands rather than coming on board. The unregulated game will wither on the vine and all will be better off. It may, of course, not work exactly like that ......I was struck by this on re-reading the older parts of this thread. I very much hope it does NOT work out exactly like that.... Dedicated readers may recall that my club has not been allowed to affiliate to the EBU this year, because we do not hold sufficiently regular club nights - indeed, we have for a while held only very occasional club nights. The good news is that we have now been able to organise a regular monthly club night at which a number of teams will be competing for an annual trophy. (This will, of course, be duplicate bridge, but it will be duplicate teams bridge not duplicate pairs bridge. The club was originally formed by a group of people who felt that teams bridge ought to have a higher profile amongst all the the matchpointed club nights around.) The less good news, perhaps, is that this will of necessity all be part of the unregulated game since we will still not be meeting regularly enough to satisfy the EBU's definition of a "club" - hence my hope that the unregulated game does not wither on the vine... It might also be worth noting that absolutely everyone who has entered for the event is already a member of the EBU - but they are willing to take part in an event outside the auspices of the EBU because we can offer a higher standard of bridge than most affiliated clubs. I don't think anyone gains from the club not be affiliated (although the monthly club nights are of course slightly cheaper as a result of not being subject to a pay to play levy) but I should stress that it is nothing to do with the club's wishes that we "remain in the badlands rather than coming on board".

This is the sort of material that comedians feed on - only it isn't a joke. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
