md ran away with the regular challenge with +29.84, the only positive score. Only 4 of us finished, and the net score was negative, so I think sw was also under water wherever he quit.
md also won the declare-only challenge with 57.03, by 2.44.

You may want to play in the BBO Fest Dec 2-4. Country vs country (cost 10 cents in BBO$), Robot Survivor and Mini Robot Survivor (both free)
I bought 10 BB$ last month and will try to remember to play again this month.
oi won the group challenge with a score of 11.33. A win by almost 6. Only 4 completed, and it looks like Steve had finished only 5 boards.
Crazy. I have been logging in each day and checking. Thought I was OK, but I guess not.
Starts today, and for either Mini challenge or Robot challenge (both free) you have to start today since those two are Survivor events. Country vs country can start as late as Wednesday, but regardless of when you start you need to finish 32 boards by the end of Wednesday.
And now I didn’t finish the declare-only. I got more than halfway, I believe, but had to leave the house and couldn’t get back in time to finish. (Thought I would be OK. Did play day 1 of the Mini Survivor and Robot survivor, qualifying for day 2 in each. Had I waited until now for those, I would have finished the declare-only.) Didn’t play any country vs country yet; will play some tonight.
oi wins the declare-only with 53.13%, by 3.13%. But only 3 completed. 4 people completed 13 boards. The 4th implicitly had a score of 57.29%.
NN wins the regular challenge with +7.00, by 1.75.
For the platinum contest (which some of you may not be eligible for) I have a 65.2%, a 57.0%, and so far a 56.7%. And 55.8% for the country vs country.
I spent five days out at the Las Vegas Nationals. We missed the cut for the 2-day LM pairs by 2 slots. Then an hour later we got an email that we were in, and two hours later another either saying we were out. During the game my partner came down with a severe cold and i was left looking for a partner. The next day wasn’t great but after that i found a very talented Egyptian guy and we placed low in open pairs and proceeded to finish 6th in the 10K IMP pairs thanks to a last-session +55. Here were some amusing hands:
He was a better player than me but very gracious, a great time.
Also increased my platinum total by 3.94 to 53.77
Super cool
When I completed the declare-only it showed me the results. But then the page timed out when I got distracted. And now I don’t see the results in my mail anymore. If someone else can post, that would be great.
procrastinator and I tied for the win with 56.25%. You should be able to get the results (and complete details if you drill down) by going to your history tab.
GRRR. I lost 4 imps to NN on a misclick. Doubled opps in 4H when I had no intention to double and no one in his right mind would double. And without that lost of 4, I would have lost only 42-0.
Steve won the declare-only with 58.59% (by 3.12%). Will reissue now.
oirg wins the declare-only with +18.00, by 9.75. To be reissued tomorrow.
Getting better. Avoided any misclicks against procrastinator. so I only lost by 40
thek won the declare-only challenge with a score of 61.46%, the only positive score. Only 4 of us competed. Reissued and expires tomorrow around midday.
I won the regular challenge with a score of 11.65, by a margin of almost 11. Only 4 completed this one as well. Reissued by sw and expires Thursday night.
sw won the declare-only with a score of 57.81%, by 3.9%. I had the only negative score.
I won the regular challenge with +5.75, by 0.25. I won’t issue any more challenges before Christmas, but there are already individual challenge to AA and NN issued, and there is a group declare-only in progress.
only completed one board vs AA. Board 2 started, not looking promising.
:swear: lost to NN by 1 for misplaying a part score on the last hand, making 1 overtrick instead of 2. OTOH he would have been more aggrieved had we tied, since bots misdefended a game against me and let it make for +12 to me. At least I did give myself the best chance at it.
:swear:? 62% provisional in day 1 of the weekend 2 day. And over 70% on the last board. But only because I happened to notice what a different call on round 4 (of the last board) would have meant, so I avoided it, even though I think that meaning was ridiculous, and I didn’t see how it could possibly mean that. After the hand I checked, and discovered the meaning attributed to my third round call was ridiculous (and I don’t see how it could mean that), but that if that is what the third round call meant, possibly the fourth round call should mean what they now think it would. Bizarre.
