Thursday Open Game 23 January 2025
We had another perfect game yesterday with 9 full tables. I just learned the mps shown below are 50% below the mps eventually awarded by acbl and there is nothing I can do to fix the acbl program to report the correct mps. I understand that this report is based on playing 18 boards, but since we played 27 boards the mp award below is multiplied by 27/18.
Anyway there were a couple real buzz saw hands yesterday. Board 6 had a C void opposite a D void which was great for defense but horrible for offense. On board 21 I thought my 2H bid was safe in S since I had 6 until I found that W had 6 H also!
Congrats to Pam/Larry and Sue/Barbara for first place finishes. John/Nancy and Brent/Darrell did great as C strat teams and Ellen/Nancy and Joe/Linda placed well as B strat teams.
