diana_eva Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Please apply here if you'd like to play this Saturday at 2PM New York Time (8PM Central Europe) vs JEC and his team. There will be a break after this match, and we'll resume after the Summer Nationals. I'll be on vacation from July 9 till July 18 or so. Not sure how to go about fielding a team, I'll have a laptop with me, but do hope I'll be somewhere with no internet :P Anyway I'll do my best to check on the Forums and give our lineup to susina in time.

js1986 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi Would love to play. I have played 3-4 JEC matches before as a part of JICL-Cayne match which Jantien used to organize. Came close to beating them once, 2 bad boards towards d end and lost by 20 odd imps. Have even played in JEC's team once in a susy match, partnering Matt Meckstroth. In live bridge, I have won this years Maharashtra state championships in India and have done well in winter nationals before that, being in prize list (top 10 ) for 3 out of the 4 events I participated in. I know helene_t, foobar and straube and have often played against / with them. (helene was also a teammate once in a live tourney in India). I prefer prec but am ok with 2/1 as well. I do not mind discussing / practising for as long as p wants/ as needed by the team before the match. Jenish :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well I'd kinda fancy a go - not because I have any expectation of doing well, but because I think such an experience could really help improve my bridge. I have no partner and of course if stronger players/partnerships are available go with them Eagles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js1986 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I can partner shengabus. Have played with him a few times before and needless to say he is a pretty good player. Writes good articles which are posted on BBO news too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writes good articles which are posted on BBO news too. Jenish I know you from BBO Juniors/JICL and I know Yuan from BBO/BW/News, but your only two posts in the Forums so far are applications to play JEC. BBO Forum is not a match-maker platform to play against JEC, it's an online discussion board. Would have been a good idea to make a few posts before applying to play as a representative of a forum where you made zero posts. You are in, and I hope you'll come back and post some interesting hands from the match. I'm sure both you and Yuan could contribute a great deal to this community :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diana_eva Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Guys, I'm packing and hopefully off to the beautiful Black Sea by tomorrow. Any progress here? Eagles, did you find a pd? Anyone else willing to play? I should tell susi today how likely it is that we'll have a team so that she starts looking for subs just in case.

gwnn Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 While you await her reply, why not make some actual bridge posts to give something in return for this opportunity? Like Diana said, this is not a matchmaking website. I personally don't feel comfortable with the BBO Forums being represented by two total strangers and I don't think I'm the only one. We sometimes can't find volunteers, that is too bad, but it doesn't mean that we should field random people who log in and make 3 posts. I accept Diana's decision to let you play, of course, but I still don't like that you don't want to post anything else other than "can I play? can I play?" (however politely).

Will try to be active here :)Sure, good luck with that. But "sincere apologies if..." is already a contradiction. I hope you stay though, even if you make a few dozen posts I think everyone will be happier to accept you as a member rather than someone who just wants to play next time. Anyway, as you see there is break coming up now, so you have plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Next week I can play. I am comfortable to play with any of the active BBF members of any level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Doesn't JEC go to the NABC? There probably won't be games the next 2 weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
