MrAce Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi all, Good news for our european regulars !! I got confirmation from LL, after Memphis Nationals ( i think middle of next month) we got the TUESDAYS 2 pm Eastern time !! Now here is the 2nd news. We gotto keep the thursday evenings as well if we can want it ! This one i am not sure if we can do it. JEC must have been happy with our players, their honesty and level. But i think 2 times a week will be insane schedule, what do you all think ? I don't wanna turn down such a privilidge without checking here, can we handle it ? Please post your opinions. And we still need to come up with 4 people this thursday ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 we have just started, in a couple of weeks we will be in a better position to know if we can go on or not. I suspect to keep 2 matches alive we would need to reinforce with non BBF members but partners of BBF players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 2PM EST usually works pretty well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'll be available 2PM EST generally, once you've worked through the more expert players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'll be available 2PM EST generally, once you've worked through the more expert players. i think I am playing on march 1, so by then it is obvious that we have dipped well below the level or expert players for these events... so anytime will be fine for you. NOTE, I think advanced is the standard we will have to shoot for, because, we don't have enough experts here anyway.... I think they have to know that for the fourm to provide players to run one event a week, not to mention possibly two, we would be using a lot of advanced players. IF only experts are allowed, someone will have to replace me. For what it is worth, I am available for both 2 and 7 pm most weeks. i will be in memphis for the nationals in March, but then jec matches will not be played then anyway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Does JEC's schedule get reorganised after each NABC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 When the ranks of the willing and able thin down to intermediate, let me know. In the meantime, it would be cool to see more forum mates at advanced and expert levels step up. Kibbing the first match was fun. So was reading the follow up posts.

gszes Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I am available for both sessions if you needsomeone to fill in. I have no forum partnerregular or otherwise so maybe a tad of advancenotice will allow me to comare some notes withwhomever I might play with might help. I do not mind filling in for ten boards or so if someoneelse can start but cannot finish. sorry for the late reply I just now found this post.If you need a pair I can talk a bbo friend into playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAce Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ok here is another option for us Tuesday 2 pm eastern OR Saturday 2 pm eastern ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ok here is another option for us Tuesday 2 pm eastern OR Saturday 2 pm eastern ? For me Tuesdays is a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ok here is another option for us Tuesday 2 pm eastern OR Saturday 2 pm eastern ?Either of them is fine for my partner and me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Looking forward to some gnasher vs jec! I feel like I always have poor results against gnasher irl when I get a chance to play against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I really want to play in them !I am ready with regular pd, with someone from BBF we would need to train for a while :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sorry but my guess is any meaningful training is not an option. I mean Jec does not train with his other teammates(other table) in these matches If you need training with your partner that is another matter. :) we all do....

mike777 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 fwiw keep in mind...the winners of the Blue Ribbon we are told were first time partners.....Lee/Jdonn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 What I meant is that if I were o play with someone in those in the future I would like to play some bridge with them before we jump into JEC match.Anyway, with 2 matches now.. I am sure you will need a pair in the future somewhere :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ok here is another option for us Tuesday 2 pm eastern OR Saturday 2 pm eastern ? If it was on Saturday, Elianna and I would be interested in playing sometime. Tuesday is very much during working hours for us and we'd never be able to play then.

Elianna Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 If it was on Saturday, Elianna and I would be interested in playing sometime. Tuesday is very much during working hours for us and we'd never be able to play then. No way am I playing until after PACT. Probably not until the end of the semester, too.

MrAce Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 When is this going to start? No, tuesdays are gone. Sunday 2pm will be available probably though. I will definetely turn one of the days in, if not both though, i dont think we have enough people willing to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well it's been all middle-of-the-night so far, as far as I'm concerned. Not that I think I am at a high enough level to play against JEC team regularly but I would help out if I didn't have to sleep. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think you should try having the 2pm slot only, because you'll be able to get players from both sides of the Atlantic at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I can play any day at 2pm Eastern time: that is 6pm UK time right? Now that we are on summer time (GMT+1)? Or does eastern have summer time too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does eastern have summer time too? We are talking EDT, so 7pm UK summer time, and 20:00 CEST. I am available to play on Sunday April 15th. If 4 people who can actually play bridge are available I will of course step aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
