[sfi]

For people who are unsure (I put a bracket on your id in entry list), could you confirm to me whether you still want to play?

 

I'll give it a go.

I'll temporarily end the registration right here. 26 entries total now.

 

However I may still accept more entries if you are interested and additional entries make the tournament structure better.

 

Group stage assignment and rule will be announced later today.

[frank0]

OK people can start playing now. See the detail in OP.

[hrothgar]

If there is still a chance to join in, I'd like to play

I'm sorry not this time as having 27 people does not make the tournament structure much better. In the future I'll specify the registration deadline clearer.

[smerriman]

There doesn't appear to be an 'lcycookie' user on BBO - do you have a separate BBO username?

 

Edit - woah, nevermind. I read that as a lowercase l, it's an uppercase I. (Frank - have fixed in spreadsheet, can you fix in groups in forum post for copying + pasting :))

[frank0]

This time I have a good start.

Started the same way I did last event, getting thrashed by dadim (all in the bidding).

24:4 vs. gqc6

[jexa_]

Tie (my first one) with olegru

 

Olegru-Jexa

[diana_eva]

I got an invite from sfi and played it out. Issued invites to everyone else in my group. Broze is marked as a friend so I already played diana_eva vs broze, but don't know if broze is around to play it out in time, I didn't ask him before creating.

 

Will re-issue if anyone can't play these next few days.

[jexa_]

Stoppiello-Jexa

[stoppiello]

so everyone can see the result without looking at the record :)

 

stoppiello 39 - Jexa 43

 

and I didn't think it was that swingy

[diana_eva]

diana_eva vs broze 26-34, broze won by 8:

Entertaining set. Two swings broze's way:

 

He made a psych that kept opps out of their vul game for 10 IMPs:

He made a vul game with 17HCP, bid by his overly optimistic partner :P I admit this one hurt:

The whole set was good, I enjoyed the match and well done to broze for winning it.

@diana_eva are you guys ever planning to add robot system a cuebidding (for controls) method? most of the time it skips everything and bids the game even with a very strong hand..

If you post an example hand or two where the bots did this and suggested improvement in the GIB Forums, someone on the programming team will be able to answer.
