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.

Wednesday January 22, 2025 Some boards you shuffled yourselves! Fun game!

Wednesday 22 January 2025 - Daybreak saw negative numbers in Fahrenheit, but 5 tables of hearty people showed up to play Bridge. We had a visitor on his way to Bermuda- Richard , from Arizona who played with Jan Ebeling! On hand 3 they bid and made 6 NT.

Unfortunately, I thought we had 6 tables and put the mats out for 6 tables. Then when I discovered my error, I tried to run the game the old fashioned way - with Travelers - little slips that belong to each board, Unfortunately we had people playing the same people. The travelers were the half a sheet of paper. Everybody said they did not care about the score, so we just played 9 rounds. I will show the cards that you played, so you can see for the few hands, what you played.
