bluecalm Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 bluecalm/redds It's holidays season and we often don't have access to the internet (one or the other) what is the schedule for those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Worse that can happen is the last team you defeated will get to continue in your place... Wasn't everybody going to play the same hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Worse that can happen is the last team you defeated will get to continue in your place... Wasn't everybody going to play the same hands? Still undecided. For the first round at least that option is on the table... it has been suggested, but not discussed. Maybe until we cut down the number of pairs, a couple of rounds might should be the same hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 With 16 pairs signed up already, the number of teaching tables with someone recording the bidding is growing huge, especially in a double elimination thing. We have decided to take the advise of a forum member. The basic idea will be to run a winner bracket and a loser bracket (after the first round). The first round will be all the same set of boards. Each susequent round, all members of the winner bracket will bid one set of boards, and members of the loser bracket (one "lose" pairs) will bid a second set of boards. In each round where bidding is between pairs with no loses, the top 1/3 will advance to the next round in the winners bracket, the bottom 2/3 will move into the next round in the loser bracket. When deciding, fractions of a player move forward... So if there are 19, 20 or 21 pairs in round one, then 7 pairs move to the winner bracket for round 2. In each round of the losing bracket, the top 1/5th of the pairs will remain in the competition for the next round, the bottom 4/5th will be eliminated. Example If in round 2 loser bracker there are 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 pairs, then 3 pairs move on to round 3. At the end of the third round, only one pair will emerge from the winner bracket: Regardless of how many pairs were in that round. All the other pairs move to the loser bracket. This pair will get a bye to round five. At the end of the fourth round, only the top pair from the loser bracket will emerge to play the "winner" from round 3. If the loser bracket pair wins the fifth round, there will be a sixth round tie breaker. The number of how this will work will be shown when the registration ends. It is hoped that some of the contestents (after they have bid their hands) and other forum members will step up and volunteer to help run some of these bidding matches.

bluecalm Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Can you please give some approximate time when it will run ? We are travelling a lot during holidays and I would like to be sure it's not during one of the scheduled trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSH Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Is a CC/full disclosure mandatory/allowed or it should be considered a memory aid?Is it possible, as an alternative, to send to the moderator a pdf copy of the CC from "real life"?Are the players supposed to explain each single bid? I think this takes more time but is less boring for the moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I am interested. Inquiry is in to my regular partner. Hope I get an answer by Wednesday. As to the options... 16 boards is a nice number. Not so keen on the KO format, but we DO have a few too many for a RR now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need a Swiss to reduce to 16 or 8 for a knockout stage :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Can you please give some approximate time when it will run ? We are travelling a lot during holidays and I would like to be sure it's not during one of the scheduled trips. that would be helpful. I am planning to go onto vacation for 3 weeks, starting next week, and I am not sure, if it is an option to take part. I also think, that the time window the competition takes place, shouldnot be too large. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Can we also let a GIB-GIB participate? Might be interesting/fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant590 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 +1 for Gib/Gib Might be useful to make the bracket work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackojack Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 My friend Flycycle has a strong club system under construction, and just about complete, not too dis similar to precision. We would like to participate in the competition but I probably would not be able to get by without checking the system notes. Subject to this being OK please enter us (Flycycle - Wackojack) If not, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject to this being OK please enter us (Flycycle - Wackojack) If not, no worries. It seems notes have been more or less approved... remember this is fun. I can tell you for the most part, they will not help anyway (unless they are incredibly detailed). I know when i was in college one professor allowed "open book" final. Needless to say for that final, a book was not at all helpful. One thing you can't do is ask your partner or talk to your partner about the bidding. Ok to discuss at the end of each hand befoe the teaching table guy throws the next one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
