keylime Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 The team played great. Lotta happy folks. Rubin-Ekeblad's 2nd segment was nearly epic. Wow. As Joey Silver is found of saying: "NEXT!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 3rd segment was wild as all ______.Not sure how many imps were won by both teams combined, but I can't remember the last time I saw so many double-digit numbers on both sides of the scorecard. Big swing after big swing after big swing. So many judgment calls that could go either way, hand after hand. Firechief et. al kept getting closer, then came the unfortunate -1100 hand.

reisig Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 The whole (Ekeblad) team performed to a high standard and clearly deserved this win. It was a pleasure to comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Ekablad is rounding into form and playing at a very high level just in time for the BB. I look forward to their Berumuda Bowl performance and will go out on a very short limb based upon their outstanding performances of late and predict that we will see them in the semi-finals there against Nickell. Hope I didn't jink either american team. Now, if they can just work out if 1♣ maybe two card, two ♣ overcall is clubs or michaels they will be all set. I suspect the confusion was over "artificial" 1♣. 2♣ was probably natural, and over 1♣ natural, 2♣ is michaels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Isn't the other US team in the BB Nickell? Would be surprised to see Welland in the semis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenisO Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 If you missed any of the action [or just want to see it again :) ], all the files are now up on Nikos site :http://www.sarantakos.com/bridge/vugraph/2005/2005-spin.html In addition to the final, see Fred/Brad in action against Zia/Rosenberg and Lauria/Versace in the close match vs Jacobs.

fred Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thanks for all the supportive forums posts, e-mails, and BBO mail messages! I am not sure why I have enjoyed so much success lately, but maybe knowing that our team has a lot of fans out there has made a difference B) Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
