nige1 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Thank you, again, SMerriman. Good luck to all finalists :) Look forward to learning from play-records. I'm sure that the information is somewhere on BBO but please would a moderator pin a RESULTS page to the BBO Forum Events forum. With one topic page for each type of event e.g.Challenge eventsJEC matches A single page could list all the events of a given kind, with winners and runners-up. Alternatively, a historical summary could be appended to the last page of each event-report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 gszes pilowsky probably will make no difference to final standings butI have tried twice to play that round and the challenge was accepted but i have never seen any resultsBoth challenges completed successfully: https://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:ed2184a0.3748.11eb.94ca.0cc47a39aeb4-1607207192&u=pilowskyhttps://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:22b777fd.3cb4.11eb.94ca.0cc47a39aeb4-1607802993&u=gszes I will add the first to the results for completeness' sake. If you're the person to complete the challenge, the results pop up after a few seconds rather than get sent to your mailbox, though if you're closed BBO then you may not see them. They'll always appear under History -> Recent Tournaments though, so you can find them in there in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 A single page could list all the events of a given kind, with winners and runners-up.There was a sticky thread in the past, but it got unstickied at some point, probably because I was lazy in keeping it updated. I've added in Event 20 to that spreadsheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Might be until next week until I can finish the other semifinal - B.1.1.7 threw some mutations in the way of our travel plans, and lots of reorganisation later we'll hopefully be travelling later this week. Will report whether the lorry backlog at the Eurotunnel has resolved by the time we get there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW again i doubt it will have any real bearing on outcome but it appears the scores were reversed (i did not have either of these in my history) according to the files it seemed like I won both rather than losing STAY WELL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Man some random swings in the second set: AKQ9 AKT954 A 42, white/redWe both bid 2♣-2♦-2♥-3♥. I bid 4♥, to show a min 2♣ opener. Stephen bids a more scientific 3♠. Result? I earn 11 IMPS because...on my auction, LHO-genius-GIB decides to double me in 6♥ with - xx KQJxx QTJ8xx, letting me score up 6♥X + 1, whereas against Stephen LHO-genius-GIB decides to save with 6NT, catching partner with 6 diamonds, heart singleton, ♣K9 and no defensive tricks in the majors. I also earn 5 IMPs because I decided to check GIB's explanation of1♣ (1♥) 2♣ (X)P (2♥) 2♠! - which is artificial, showing a maximum 2♣ bid...

smerriman Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I played the entire second half of that set in a state of shock after that 7♦ save, never seen anything like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Well, I finished set 3 in 2020, but it took Stephen until 2021 to do soNo fireworks though: 11-3 https://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:a4037bac.4b2c.11eb.bd23.0cc47a39aeb4-1609394066&u=cherdano&v3b=web&v3v=5.6.18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I took out the last challenge 40-38 - had some fun on the last four boards but it wasn't to be :) https://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:90af6a17.4baf.11eb.bd23.0cc47a39aeb4-1609450298 Congrats Arend - thanks for the match!

Ant590 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks for arranging everything, smerriman - although I missed the deadline for registration this time around, it was still nice to follow along. 7♦x-3 was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
