Phil Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Camrose - nice!!! Was thinking that you had retired from bridge just to post in the water cooler. Looking forward to watching you on VG :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 What happened - did you withdraw from the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 What happened - did you withdraw from the team?No exciting drama, sorry :) This weekend was just impossible for me to play without putting undue strain & difficulty on the rest of the family. (The 4th member of the family is only 11 weeks old today...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulg Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 The second weekend is 3-5 March in Edinburgh. It is inconceivable to me that Arend and Mike will not be picked, given they were the mainstays of the original team and that team is currently bottom of the table. I imagine that the selectors will take some time to decide who they will replace, given the performance of the three pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 The team was announced yesterday: Scotland - Mike Ash & Arend Bayer, Sandy Duncan & Jim Hay, Alex Adamson & Mike McGinley - NPC to be announced shortly The selectors seem to have made one strategic error in picking the two Scotland teams - all their regular NPCs are playing! Mike and Sandy in this team, two others in the SBU team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Does the Camrose always have two month lags between segments? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 A bit before my time, but at one point, it used to be 5 weekends (once a month if I recall). When it was reduced to 2 weekends, I assume they timed it so there were regular intervals between each of the Home International Series events. It also allows some teams to reflect on the first weekend and reselect if necessary. That way, you have: First Camrose weekend in January Junior Camrose/Peggy Bayer (run concurrently) in FebruarySecond Camrose weekend in MarchLady Milne in AprilTeltscher trophy in May. Each country takes turns to host each weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulg Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Does the Camrose always have two month lags between segments? :blink: There is a brief history of the Camrose at http://www.bridgewebs.com/bgb/Brief%20History.htm - it is interesting to read some of the archive magazines from the EBU which describes the early years (1930s) where a lot of home teams tried to gain an advantage by feeding their opponents to death.

Zelandakh Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I will admit no such thing without a plea deal and place and my lawyer present.Haha! I actually think it is pretty cool to have lectures that are interesting enough to put up on YouTube. If I can find time one day I might try and go through one of them too. Are any of them workable for a "normal" maths graduate or are they too difficult/specific for such an audience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
