BBF challenge event #5

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, I sent chuck11 a challenge for the 4th set with the box 'best hand' checked. Apparently you can't delete challenge requests with persons marked as friend yourself, so I have to wait for chuck11 to reject the request and issue the correct one himself. Of course, I immediately sent him a message in-game so hopefully he won't play the wrong boards.

Stephen Tu  	47  22  61  78 208
ovncylmz   	9   32	14  24 79

 

ovncylmz started swinging in the middle of the third quarter and it got rather silly in the end.

 

I think "advanced" robots decided to swing earlier than third quarter :)

And third quarter, they were at their top form - not me :)

Good game Stephen:)

In reference to Mkgnao's above post, I cannot decline the challenge either, I tried. Sent a message to support, the answer is either play it out or wait until it expires. The real problem is our inability to have more than a single challenge active. I know I was able to have 4 simultaneous challenges active in the previous KOs (#4), and I had multiple challenges active in the elimination rounds of this event. There is something squirrelly between my account and Mkgnao's.

 

If waiting the challenge out delays us too much, I will concede for the sake of moving the tournament along, I'm down around 50, so it would take some heroics to get back in the match with a single set left.

Just go down 7nt x -13 in every hand, will take like less than 5 minutes. Then send a new one.

Same for mkgnao.

4th set frank0 3:44 vs. broze

 

That means broze will advance to the next round and good luck.

 

Thanks for the game Frank. I felt you were hard done by on a few big swings over the match.

 

EDIT: Board 1 did make me chuckle though. The bot believed his partner's signal and underlead AKQ trying to get a ruff.

Done.

 

Best bidding sequence:

 

(1) - p - (1) - 7NT

dbl a.p.

 

GIB alerted my 7NT as unusual NT! :D

 

Results: 15 doubles, 1 made --> I played one 7NT (12 top tricks) and made it on a red suit squeeze.

No action from Jefford and Olegru - of whom I play the winner of.

 

Seems like other R8's are getting close to being ready.

 

I'll be at the Palm Springs regional this weekend. Hopefully this won't delay things.

Gordontd is in Cuba and can't log on BBO from there. He apologizes but he can't complete his challenges (not sure where he was at). I've sent him a suggestion on how to bypass this IP block, but not sure it'll work for him so if no sign from him it's because he can't get to BBO.

Thks Diana - I was waiting for Gordon to accept our final set and it's still sitting there.

 

Gordon is up by plenty from the first three, ca. 50 imps, so he would be going through if he was online. Can the comish advise what to do?
