- Rosenblum 2018 will be first tournament where hands can be checked afterwards
- Check the Orlando FAQ, second item. http://championships.worldbridge.org/orlandows18/faq I doubt this is frequently asked, but the info is there, although not totally understandable. Anyhow it states: Since the format of some events is not yet known (the number of entries is not final) the organisation produced ...
- Rosenblum 2018 will be first tournament where hands can be checked afterwards
- Just in case this was tongue in cheek and not just a remark, the documentation is in the same ZIP file as the programs.
