IMHO the Monaco team is a very deserving champion of the Spingold and Fantoni-Nunes play a fascinating system. Nickell has one of the best bridge pairs around in Meckwell but his team needed ghastly misplays by their opponents in three different rounds just to get to the final. Monaco asserted themselves in the final and just took over after the half.

I stayed up all night to watch the final on BBO. Excellent commentary. Educational, exciting, and enjoyable :) All players performed brilliantly :) Both sides deserved to win :).

I'll try to get this topic back on track. Frank (Nick) Nickell realized that Hamman-Zia didn't make a good pair, and he looked around to find the best USA pair to fix his dry run. Levin-Weinstein fit that bill; I would actually take them over Meckwell since May 2010. Martin Fleisher was able to grab Rosenberg-Willenken, who I think is an up and coming pair. Bob Hamman is partnering Bart Bramley on team Blanchard (father Bob - son Shane), along with Hurd-Woolridge (playing on USA 2 for the Bermuda Bowl). Zia seems to be alone at the moment.
