Jacki Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 It's about time we started some scheduled larger team events. Larger? I mean more than two tables. We'll be hosting some Swiss Teams on Thursday, Friday, maybe Saturday. Want to play? If so carve out some time for 4 six board rounds. Sign up with me. Putting together your own team will be best, but I'll try to get singles or pairs together with a team. Latecomers we'll try to accommodate but no promises. We're thinking about 2pm EDT. If enough want to play at another time, we'll consider it. This could be the precursor of things to come, so come play with us. Questions? Just ask.

TylerE Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 This is interesting to me, but the time doesn't. Something after 6PM EST would be much friendlier to those of us that work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'll see what I can do. Thursdays won't work but Fridays might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, we're easy, let's try Thursday at 7pm EDT. If there's enough interest, we might even be able to do both times. Jacki :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Very interesting and interested. Thursdays are out for me but 7 p.m. avoids some really bad TV. I will try to participate, recruit BBO friends as teammates and it just might grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 11 pm, but only for a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I would love too, but i am giving teh ACBL all my money at the nationals and will be trying to get something back for it at 7pm on thursday. But I am all in for anytime next week.... if someone really brave would be my partner. I hope swiss teams become a fixture on BBO at some time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 seems like somewhat poor timing (given the nationals in Louisville). Also, 7pm EDT pretty much kills this for any 9-5 working stiffs living on the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacki Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 So here's where we stand on these team events now. Tonight at 7pm, we'll run the first test. Tomorrow? Well it's still a work day for many and unless I have a lot of teams expressing interest, we will skip that day. But we will have another one (or two) on Saturday. On Sunday, there's another event scheduled plus the finals of the Vanderbilt, so we will skip that day. After that, I hope to get team events on some kind of regular schedule - but I'll need your help. Your help=Your interest. What I need to know What are the best days for the most players?What are the best times for the most players?What is the best frequency for the most players? In other words, this is a test which means the format (Swiss? RR? KO?) can evolve as the concept evolves. It could be a fun event or with minimal interest turn into a non-event. It all depends on you. Jacki@bridgebase.com to register Jacki :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Update: Tomorrow, Saturday, 3/19, 3pm EDT, a Swiss event is happening. Send team lineups to email: jacki@bridgebase.com. Singles? Pairs? Let me know ASAP and I'll get you lined up with a team. Jacki :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 How many boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm able to play at 3 PM; an e-mail was just sent. Inquiry, I think I'm brave enough to be your partner for tomorrow as well as next week, since I am on Spring Break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiry, I think I'm brave enough to be your partner for tomorrow as well as next week, since I am on Spring Break. Thanks. but as noted i am at the nationals now so will be unavailable until next week. I am sure others will play with you. We need to see if we can get the team tournaments running as they would be popular, but I am thinking short matches so the time is not long (of course team board a match,two boards per round would be great if the software supports that). Let's make this thing work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
