gszes Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 STEP RIGHT UP for another chance to get slaughtered. We are behind in the series about 4000 imps to 37 lots of ground to make up. We have THREE WEEKS to gather volunteers and prepare. We have lots of thoughful posters and I hope with 3 weeks notice we will have a strong turnout. IMO if we have too many (am I being too optimistic?) that want to play we should consider having a starting 4 and subbing after 14 boards but we can all express an opinion about that also.

keylime Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think it's time to come out of semi-retirement, to bring C-Cubed to battle. I will discuss this with Larry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 good catch it is 4/27 saturday fixed post so let me know if sat is ok (vs erroneous sun)4/27 Saturday is good but I think my partner would need to have the game start 1 hour earlier which may be a problem for others.I won't know for certain until next week.

gszes Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 The Hog, Mikeh, PhilKing, Cyberyeti, Rhm, JlogicAquahombre, Han A partial list of prolific BBO posters that have not triedto represent the forum in play vs JEC. I know I would behappy to partner with any of you. It's still a chance to playagainst some of the best in the world for free no less. Noone is going to agree with their partner on every detailbut we have all read each other's opinions and it should not be overly difficult to find someone with similar opinionsto your own. I am trying to send an open inviation to those thatare writing on the forums and trying to help others improvetheir games.

Zelandakh Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Mike and Han have tried to represent BBF but they are busy and it did not work out on that occasion. Iirc, Justin actually did star in one match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOGIC Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I will def try to play another one but my schedule is really bad for this. I'd prefer to play one without moki/apron if thats ever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 ... We are behind in the series about 4000 imps to 37 lots of ground to make up ... How many JEC v BBO matches have been played? Have we won any yet? What are the individual match results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 How many JEC v BBO matches have been played? Have we won any yet? What are the individual match results?mgoetze was keeping track there is another thread in this forum for historians but he seemsto have diappeared. We lost the first 33 in a row then won the last one (almost 6 weeks ago) and havent played them since. I sort of started doing this since mgoetze diappeared. With any luck we will get back to an everyother week type schedule. Lots and lots of kibitzers watchthese matches (JEC is very popular) and it gives us a chance to show that the concepts and ideaswe present here for others to read and learn from are solid. The downside is since forum posters also watch the matches the players can expect to see their name in print if things dont go ummm errrr according to plan:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I will def try to play another one but my schedule is really bad for this. I'd prefer to play one without moki/apron if thats ever possible. This is my first real chance to coordinate a game in advance-----I played in 3 others and the way it workedwas mgoetze gathered the names of players from this site and gave them to jec and they set up the match whenit was game time. I never had a clue who was going to play for JEC and they may not even know until the lastminute:)))))))))))))))))))) I am sure that it can be arranged for you to sit opposite JEC and partner vs oppositemoki/apron if that is what you mean since we can always put our request is as say JLOGIC/partner at main tableand poster/poster in closed room for ex:))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 SIX DAYS LEFT and as far as I can tell from reading the forums NOONE (but me) is willing to pit their skills against the mighty JEC STARS is this right????????????????? Is it really because we can't stand the idea of playing with someone new?? I have played with 4different advanced players and lived to tell about the experience and won once-----I willlook back here in a couple of days and if no other volunteers I guess I will start contactingfriends to play with but this is a forum poster match and I hope some forum posters willstep forward and v\olunteer their time and expertise CALL TO ARMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMan Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I was sitting back because I was in a match recently, but since we seem to be running short, I'll check at the club tonight with an up-and-coming junior I've played with a number of times. I'll report back ASAP. EDIT: It turns out I have a previous engagement that had slipped my mind. Sorry. Next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I am available, but for preference with my regular partner (who has a grand total of about 4 posts). I could play some with him and some with someone else if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broze Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I am keen to play in these, but weekends (including this one) are usually no good. I'll keep an eye out for future fixtures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickyB Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm pretty busy at the moment, including practicing for Spring Fours [hence looking to play with my regular partner]. Don't think I can afford the time to play with anyone else at the moment, sorry, another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm awaiting Mars' response for the match. I am giving Larry a weekend off after our solid Gatlinburg outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I can play this Saturday, if I can get someone to play with me. I can practice between about 6PM-Midnight (EST) on Friday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
