paulg Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 gnasher about to start playing on vugraph. No need to rush as he won't be. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 He's playing Zia and Bjornlund, so might be a little faster than I implied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 FrancesHinden, jallerton, mickyb and catch22 are also playing in this event over the weekend and liable to be on vugraph at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimG Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've been to the Young Chesea and LMBA sites and googled Lederer Memorial, but can't find a list of this year's participants. Any link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The list I have is - This is correct. You can get a list on the LMBA site, but it is an old tentative one and not accurate. Bowles and/or Hinden etc will be on again today at 16:30 local time (GMT+1 or British Summer Time). MickeyB and/or teammates will be playing opposite. Zia on at 14:45 local time. Robson 13:00 local time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickeyB and/or teammates will be playing opposite. Mickyb is playing all the sets today, so sure he'll be there. I think at least two other forum members guaranteed to be playing the match too.

MickyB Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Apologies to all fans of FrancesHinden, Jallerton and/or MickyB who tuned in at 16:30 UK time only to discover that a late decision had been made to put Zia vs Robson on vugraph instead, I hope you found their standard of bridge to be adequate.

gnasher Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Also apologies to anyone who tuned in on Saturday hoping to see some bridge. And well done to MickyB for winning the event for the second year in succession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sorry about that. I thought that as the leaders' last match was not going to be a decider (sorry Andy et al) I would put the celebrities on. Mickey B's teammate Espen Erichsen arrived with the trophy on Sunday stating that he was going to take it home in a few hours anyway. Indeed he could have saved the trouble of carrying it, as the Holders (other members Norman Selway, Michael Byrne, Martin Jones and Neil Rosen) won the event with a match to spare. Legends Nicola Smith and Sally Brock, with Kitty Teltscher, Colin Simpson and David Price, came in second. By the way, Andy, you and John are owed a bottle of champagne each -- your "Best Bid Hand" prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately none of the BBO audience were aware of the running score at this point since the penultimate match scores were only posted in the final table.

MickyB Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 And well done to MickyB for winning the event for the second year in succession. Cheers Andy :) Very sorry about that. I thought that as the leaders' last match was not going to be a decider (sorry Andy et al) I would put the celebrities on. Obviously the right decision. Frances and I were debating whether the members of BBF would rather see Zia vs Robson or Frances vs MickyB :rolleyes: but BBF members obviously make up a small proportion of total vugraph watchers. The tournament wasn't quite over with a match to spare, the margin was 46 vps with 60 to play for, but for both matches to be so one-sided is very unlikely given that it's hard not to pick up a few VPs on the BAM side of things. Photos are now up on the LMBA website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
