International Interclub Friendly 2/12/25

Bridge Forum All Messages By This Member #3869 I meant to post about this earlier but things have been hectic. We are looking for players to field some teams for an International Interclub Friendly against an English bridge club called Tyler Hill on Monday 12 February (afternoon our time, evening theirs. It would run about the same length as a usual online game and be quite free.) I was contacted by their manager a while back; they've had these matches before with American clubs. I can make up teams or partnerships for interested players. If people could let me know within a week or so it would be appreciated.

Bridge Forum All Messages By This Member #3894 We have 23 players and are looking for one more intermediate-level player to fill out our squad. ? Amina-Marie Jose Bob-Harold Erik-Jim Hank-Steve Hara-Linda Irene-Louise Phoebe-Vicki ? plus four pairs and one single from the Old Lyme Country Club. ? Starting time will be 2:00 p.m. our time (Eastern in case anyone will be playing from a different time zone) for a total of about 16 boards; I'll post details on how to join the game probably on Monday (going to my father's for the weekend).
Bridge Forum All Messages By This Member #3898 Here is how the game will work Wednesday: ? On the afternoon, your players go online to BBO at 1.50 p.m say, and await an invitation from their table host, noting their BBO name.? On receipt they click “Accept”. When all 8 players have done this the game will start. If one or more players refuse for whatever reason, the host will reissue invitations until all accept. ? The game will start. There will be barometer scoring so that the players can see what is happening to the score board by board..the scoring is in imps.? ? Each match is individual to each pair of teams.? ? After 8 boards the first stanza ends and the score shows. There is then a 5 minute break to take the cat or tortoise for a walk, and the table is switched by the host. Then invitations are reissued just as at the start, and the pairs now play the other members of the opposition team.? ? The table at which I sit always starts the game last, to ensure the any techno problems are addressed and we can be sure that all matches are up and running.? ? ? ? After all matches have ended I review all the imps scores and convert them to VPs (Victory Points) on the standard table for 16 board matches, as follows: ? The standard IMP to VP scale for 16 board matches is: IMP? ? ? 0-1 ? ? 2-4 ? ? 5-8? ? 9-12? 13-17? 18-22 ? 23-28 ? 29-35 ? 36-43? 44-53 ? 54+? VP? ? ? 10-10? 11-9 ? 12-8 ? 13-7 ? 14-6? ? 15-5? ? 16-4? ? ? 17-3? ? 18-2? ? 19-1? ? 20-0 ? Then I send you a completed sheet of the results for you to share with your players.? ? The winner takes the glory, the loser takes stock to see if they would like a rematch. ? There is no charge for the game. Normally it is all over by 4pm and it’s very sociable, very chatty, and fun. ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ? For our teams, I have paired Bob-Harold with Gery and Hollis Barry, the dominant pair from the Old Lyme CC game. Hollis played with Alice Hummel in the OLCC Member-Guest in September and the Barrys later played with Alice and Ken Steele in a sectional, but alas Kelice had a bad day. ? After that we will have ? Erik-Jim with Hank-Steve Amina-Marie Jose with Hara-Linda Irene-Louise with Phoebe-Vicki ? If anyone has to back out, please let me know ASAP. ? ?
