barmar Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 hrothgar is up by 21 at the half of our match, due to 3 game swings his way. All the swings my way were small. http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:b87ba615.6a1f.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1472059515 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Matches expire in 3 days. So whenever one match is set up, opp needs to accept and play it out within 3 days. Yes, but we play two segments. Both are dependent on one person setting and the other accepting. Times two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackojack Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 The 2nd 16 result was: http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:9d405390.6978.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1471987743&u=wackojack Over the 2 rounds +14.

At trick 9 the situation was identical at both tables and the opponent bot decided that the initial lead had been from 976 and thus went down. Partner bot's lead was the 6 and it later followed suit with the 9♣ and then the 6♣. I am aware that bots can make different decisions in identical situations. Fortunately here the opp bot made the same decision at both tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerriman Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 jeffford76 defeated me by 38-16. http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:561b86d8.683d.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1471852332&u=smerrimanhttp://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:76b068a5.6b67.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1472200279&u=smerriman Most interesting hand - 10 of those IMPs were picked up on the first board of the second set when he opened 1♥ in third seat with four hearts to the queen and a balanced 8-count, causing wild competition. So far we have: 7 completed matches2 half completed matches (ovncylmz vs vampyr and olegru vs gordontd)2 other matches (dadim vs nige1 and phoenix214 vs nekthen). dadim - if nige1 still hasn't responded yet (according to profile, hasn't checked in on the forum for over a week), go ahead and start a challenge with MrAce instead. phoenix214 + nekthen - both profiles show recent forum activity - any update?

ovncylmz Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I heard that dadim is +37 vs. mrace. (final result 48-11)My opponent (vampyr) didn't show up for the second set for last 4 or 5 days. I was up by 47, so I assume that I also won at this point.

Phil Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Suggestion for the future events, 1. Have a clear rule on time limit of each match and the rule related to withdraw. Agree about time limits, but need to be careful about withdrawals. If Player A invites, and Player B does not accept, that should be a win by default. At halftime, it's trickier. I think it will function better if the leader makes the invite. If someone does not accept, then the leader wins as if there was a halftime concession. If the leader at halftime doesn't set up the match or is unresponsive the commissioner needs to get involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 That would be too strict. My first challenge invite to broze timed out, should I have considered that a win by default? Was obvious he hadn't logged on or seen it at all, and we had enough time left to play two sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
