- Improving my bidding & defence skills

- Can you beat Zia? (logic problem)
- If Zia was truly partnering me he likely wouldn't waste the brain cells, reasoning that all my other decisions had been wrong so passing it to me has to be in his favor.
- Can you beat Zia? (logic problem)
- Ignoring the Js, Zia can have three combos: AA, AAQ, AQQ. If he has AA then he will guess 14 since from his perspective there are more combos where the missing AAQQQQ can split 8-8 vs 10-6. If he guesses 14 he's either right or wrong (Mike says he ...

- BBO format
- A few people have implied that since the Windows version is no longer being developed there is "little cost" to BBO to allow it to continue. I don't have any direct knowledge of BBOs architecture, but two possible costs are: 1: [b]Servers/hosting:[/b] different servers are likely ...
- Seeking Ideas on How to Increase Attendance at Sectional Sunday Swiss
- We started doing preduped boards at our unit's sectional Swisses last year. We do the best we can -- and dupe as many board sets as we can, and we only do it for the last 5 rounds (using sets of 36 boards - 7 boards per round). And we only ...
