I really think that 48boards is a good idea, what do you guys think?

[Phil]

48 is fine but we should set up in 2x24 not 3x16. It's the coordination that's the hard part not playing the hands.

As long as we finish by end of day 9/13?

16 boards is max possible

Me, dadim, zebutin, nullve is almost always online. I don't know about others but I think 3 x 16 shouldn't be that difficult.

[diana_eva]

I'm fine with 3x16 too.

[jeffford76]

Happy to play 48.

[Wackojack]

Now fine with 3x16 but will be unavailable for 2.5 weeks starting 1st Oct. Hopefully we (I) finish before then.

[Phil]

Zeb challenged; I've played first 16.

Zeb is up 46-31 after 16.

Wow match with Diana/Ovunc - cliffhanger!

[Wackojack]

Completed first 16 over 24 hours ago and waiting for Dadim to complete his 16.

[zebutin]

Challenge between me and Phil has ended, scores being 46-31, 22-12 and 10-22 for overall score of 78-65 for my somewhat undeserved victory, as I feel Phil played most (if not all) of the deals better than me.

Thanks Zebutin. I actually thought I brought my A game to these matches and wasn't groggy / distracted / tilted / experimenting like I sometimes do.

You played really well and deserved the win. GL in the semis - you are a tough opp!

[dadim]

My match with wackojack is finished. I won 83-31 (22-17 42-1 19-13) Here are the links for results.

[smerriman]

That makes the semifinal matchups:

nullve vs diana_eva
dadim vs zebutin

I'm thinking 48 boards again for the semifinals, with 64 for the final - but people can play more here if they're willing.

Good luck!

Set 3: http://webutil.bridg...aeb4-1473714801

I think I had all the luck all the luck in this match. A couple of lucky boards:

* board 16, set 1 (idiotic GiB defence)
* board 2, set 3 (I knew 4♠ was a gigantic underbid and something I'd never consider with a human expert partner)

[ovncylmz]

I think we may start the registration stage for the next event to start ASAP:) I will post the details in a few days.

[zebutin]

Challenge between me and Dadim has ended with scores of 19-8, 20-15 and 31-29, for total score of 70-52. Especially bad score was in 2nd set deal #13 where contract was same, lead was same and overall line of play was same, but in my table robots didn't give each other a ruff for one down, gaining me 17imps for free. As the margin was 18 imps it was basically whole match right there.
