10 tables Nobody won seven rounds. Jamob and Marudy drew with each other in the last round, both finishing 6-2-1. Marune, Mahn, Karleta and Roseward all finished 6-3. Jamob lost the eighth round as well as drawing the last or they might well have had a 75% score. Jevin had the best second half - they lost the first five rounds but rallied for above average and a placement. Board 14 saw West with a huge hand, Q ---- AKJ1086 KQ10962, with South usually opening 3H. Board 18 had a slam, on which Kevin and Harold had to move as opener after the auction began 1H-4H and Cindy had to move as responder after Louise opened 2C. Glynneth had the best score of the day, +1700 on Board 5 defending 5Hx -6. N-S 1 gra415+marnold00 (Judy-Martin) 57.72 1 1 1.00 Masterpoint Award pending.

BBO threw all the game times off by an hour because of Daylight Savings; the game is now set up to start on time.

11 tables We had one strange feature today. Pharah won with an 8-1 round record, losing only to Jerik, but then we had to go all the way down to twelfth to find a pair winning seven rounds. Leighry lost the first two rounds to Larbot and Keianne and then won out, winning multiple rounds 105-95 or 110-90 and just getting above average at the end. There were no slams even bid, though we did have an 1100 penalty that was not a top board on Board 4. Board 12 punished players who did not open AJ542 Q53 K974 J in second seat, Board 10 saw multiple different action after P-P-1S on A85 Q943 J10 AK32, and Board 18 gave East a choice of openings on 64 107 AJ1086532 2.

4 tables Maurie began strongly, winning the first three rounds and taking the lead from Heve. Then Heve won the last three rounds and pulled away. Jerik rallied from fifth place in the last round to second. Only one pair was never on the leaderboard, being twice half a point shy of it. Board 8, on which E-W have an excellent distributional lam with a combined 22 HCP, looked like the hand of the day when Maurie were pushed into 6C and made it for the top score. Board 13 was passed out three times when East held A108653 982 3 A86 in second seat. The first and last rounds both began with everyone producing the double dummy result in the play. 1 steve grod+hvoegeli (Hank-Steve) 61.11 1 1 1 0.80 Masterpoint Award pending.

8 tables Jamob and Ritold both lost only the fifth round to Jevin and Myrne after piling up long streaks of good boards (4-10 for Jamob, 1-8 for Ritold). Troward, Study and Marudy all had round records of 4-2 including losing the first round. There were numerous possible slams, all N-S. Troward bid and made three slams and were the only pair of the five to try slam on Board 9 missing two cashing aces to get away with that one. The best slam was on Board 16, when 6D survived a losing trump finesse but 6H would have been set by a 4-1 trump split. N-S 1 Hmtax+mhjh (Harold-Rita) 61.51 1 1 0.80 Masterpoint Award pending.

7 tables The decisive battle came in Round Five, when Lernot had three slightly above average boards against Jerik to pull into a tie for the lead. Board 16 proved decisive, when we saw the ideal example of taking the safest line possible. Lernot and Leighry both won five rounds; the above average pairs only lost two rounds between them against the lower half of the field. Board 16 had a slam with both a safe play and an unlikely trump squeeze. We also had a passout on Board 4 and Heve finished with a +1100 to keep that streak going.

We had enough for a game and then perhaps two pairs got kicked off, but then I got kicked off as well. I don't know what it is about Wednesday afternoons that is giving BBO such a problem.

People may want to log in early if they can; the site is glitching again.

8 tables Ritold lost only to Marjorian and swept all the other rounds, strongest in round five and breaking the 70% mark. They had a bit of good luck when there was a little muddle over responder's range against them on Board 7 when they emerged with a top board. Jevin had a strong finish to make the score look closer than it was. The top finishers were strong against the others; only Karleta and Elott had success against them. We began with N-S having consecutive slams on Boards 2 and 3 of the easy variety and then a trickier E-W slam on Board 5. There was then another N-S slam on Board 18 when only Jevin bid to the correct slam but most declarers got lucky, including the two in the wrong slam, because the opponent on lead led the wrong suit AND the opponent with the ace in dummy's suit couldn't hold off enough times to lock declarer out of dummy's hand!

14 tables Very tight scores, particularly N-S, and with only Dane above 70%. Cbot and Lark were the only pairs to win seven rounds, both having Oreo games - good starts and finishes sandwiching a soft middle. Paun and Heve both rallied after losing three consecutive rounds early, Leighry after one round going a total of eight tricks down doubled, the only two hands on which they were set all game. Board 15 had a choice of iffy slams with a kind layout for either. Board 8 had a settable slam with better-looking chances. Board 13 had a Don't Try This at Home auction.

The BBO server seems to be having trouble; it would not let me in and then I got in for about two minutes but the pending tournaments would not load and eventually the site told me I didn't have any. I left the site and cannot get back in. I'll keep trying but the site may be down today.

8 tables The top three pairs were the only ones to win four rounds. Troward started well, then drew the third round with Limy and lost to Robbot. Myrne went undefeated, drawing the fifth round against Robbot and defeating all their other opponents. Cinise lost the first round badly but recovered well by winning out. Of the remaining pairs to place only Jevin and Kill had positive records at 3-2-1. The last round was the exciting one - Board 16 had a slam everyone bid and two pairs even tried for grand slam, although the small slam needed right-siding. That hand was followed by a double game swing when Robert and Bob both received kind opening leads. The last board was the only hand of the set on which every table took the double dummy number of tricks and nobody could have forced a better result.

11 tables The top six pairs all ended with a nearly even finish in rounds. Heve, only sixth overall, had the best round record of 7-1-1, losing only to Glotin and drawing with Giselaine. The scores were less close than they appeared; Lernot ran off thirteen consecutive good boards on 2-14 only to lose the last two rounds to Larbot and Conndy. We had two hands with passouts, Board 10 with only one (as fourth hand met the Rule of Fifteen requirement) but Board 17, on which passout seemed probable, with six. Board 2 had a grand slam which looked as if it might sink against a 4-0 trump split, but Paul was just able to bring it in.

4 tables Jerik led wire-to-wire. Six different pairs were above average at various times. Harob snatched second place back from Miken on the last board. There were various accidents, most notably on Board 7 when South and East played 4D and 5D, both after bidding mishaps.

12 tables The eventual winners started against each other, with Marbot taking a close win against Mattbot. Mattbot then won all the remaining rounds while Marbot lost only to Jevin. Elott, Marmi and Jevin all finished 7-2. Marbot and Marmi both had a perfect round. Credit to Kill for surviving three consecutive zeroes, then not having another below average score for the last nine hands. Kevin and Zia made 6NT on Board 1, although the hand is right-sided if West declares it and even then needs help or a guess. Board 9 had a choice between two marginal slams, with Judy (P) making the harder one in 6S while 6NT failed. N-S 1 MarciaKnow+Robot (Marbot) 64.14 1 1.20 Masterpoint Award pending.

The game was fairly tight, as ever pair outside the top four lost at least four rounds. Board 17 was the hand of the day. I wish Carl had been here, as he would have joined Bob, Gareth and Paul in making a Michaels cue-bid on a hand with two jacks (at least they were in the majors). We ended with five doubled contracts: 4Sx twice by E-W and 6Cx N twice. 6Cx was defeated all three times, although at least one declarer was given a chance to make; 4S made once after the wrong switch on trick 5.

7 tables When a thirteenth pair registered about five seconds before we started, I did not have time to change from nine rounds to six. In spite of that, Jevin produced a clean sheet, winning every round for a convincing victory. Karleta had a huge finish to move into second overall, scoring 450/500 on the last five boards. Ritold were the only pair besides Jevin to win six rounds. Bill might have scored 80%, as there were multiple hands on which his favourite lead of a three-card major against no-trumps was best. Jeff found one of those on Board 5, leading the heart king against 3NT from Q983 KQ8 85 A943 and hitting Kevin with the golden hand of J10432 in hearts and the spade ace for a sure entry. On Board 6, Breta led her singleton five of diamonds against 5C and it won the trick, Karlene holding AKQ10974 and seeing J862 in dummy. Slams were attempted on Boards 9 and 10. Board 9's slam was set when the hearts broke poorly; 6NT on Board 10 was saved when declarer was able to force three spade tricks holding A1097 opposite Q8.

10 tables Our visiting pair Ordy made a big come-from-behind push to win, scoring 511.1/600 on the last six boards. Lark were the only pair to win seven rounds - the first seven. They could not have done anything about the last round when N-S had both hands and they played the DeMartinos. Jerik had a big run going entering the home stretch and Boric also had a strong finish. The grand slam on Board 17 was reached by Kelice and Boric; it was important for the responding hand to be in control. Board 2 gave us a fine example of Stayman or No Stayman? Boards 8 and 9 gave back-to-back choices between 1M, 2M or pass as dealer. There were also multiple hands that would have favoured players who finessed in trumps missing four to the queen.
