- Buffett Cup 2019 - Individual and Overall Result
- Because there were three teams, we played rings and the comparisons happened after both sets were done. The event started with the US and Europe neck and neck after the team event with China back. Then Us did well in 2/3 segments of the pairs and pulled ahead to ...
- Buffett Cup 2019 - Individual and Overall Result
- I don't think he put any money into this event. It was sponsored by Hainan government and I think the owner of the happy farm resort we stayed at.
- Poll Regarding Drop-Ins from Soloway to Blues
- I voted against, but I think it would be fine if the dropins had 0 carryover. The main reason I voted against is that it seems they tested dropins in an event and people didn't like it, so it feels like this issue has already been decided.
- Ban Collusive Cheaters For Life
- Totally agree. If you have been a collusive cheater and you wish to still play the game, NOTHING is stopping you from playing bridge at the kitchen table with your friends. A ban from competitive bridge is not the same as a ban from bridge. If you decided to turn ...
- Open Honolulu Discussion Thread
- Dave, Hawaii has great food. You are about a 10-15 minute walk from a ton of options, pretty of all of them good. Don't eat in the Hawaiian village. If you go south, there is the Waikiki area which is more touristy. The further north you head the more ...
- Poker anyone?
- I don't think I've ever seen four of a kind in the end position. I've had three of a kind of few times (most recently 3 9s, but they were all winners :D) See you in Memphis!
- Should players be allowed to compete in a second USBC after qualifying?
- I would like to stress that if someone could guarantee qualification in an event, I think it's totally fair that they play in that event and do not participate in any future trials. But you don't know if you are going to qualify or not! The big problem ...
- Changes to Trials Policy
- Hi Joann, I made a long post in the team trials committee forum addressing many of these concerns as well as the pros of the new policy. Maybe you can ask for access to the forum? I'm not sure if there's some way I can forward the post ...
- Playing and Planning for the 2019 USBCs
- There are other scenarios that may cause a "real" team to not be the team that ends up going to the worlds. For example, in 2016, one of my teammates died before the worlds. Is it unfair to the opponents that we just got to replace her with someone of ...
- Playing and Planning for the 2019 USBCs
- The easy way to prevent this from occurring is just to not allow it to occur. If I want to play in the mixed trials after winning womens, I have to play mixed worlds, end of story. If I don't qualify, I will play the event I already qualified ...
