Three day BBO fest starts Monday. Country vs country 32 boards for 10 cents BBO. I registered but forgot to play last month. Registered for this month, expect to remember. Also a mini-survivor and robot-survivor start Monday. 3 days each (if you survive); free.
Great. Welcome back. I’ve been fairly busy lately as well, and not spending as much of my distraction time on bridge, so have missed a challenge or two. Just reissued the declare-only, though.
NN wins the regular challenge with +30.50, by 17.50. Reissued
I’ll start reissuing some 2-way challenges tomorrow or Tuesday. Don’t forget the BBO fest (country vs country, Mini Robot 3-dsy survivor and Robot 3-day survivor) starting tomorrow.
Preliminary score on Mini-Survivor day 1 between 50% and 51%. So maybe surviving, maybe not. Robot Survivor day 1 just over 60%, so surely surviving.
md narrowly won the declare-only with a score of 56.25%, edging out sw with a score of 55.47%. Reissued.
Country vs Country: 60.1% Finished 259/4377
Survivor 1: 63.6%
Survivor 2: 54.1%
Survivor 3: 54.3% Finished 675/2332
Platinum 1: 54.0%
Platinum 2: 60.9%
Platinum 3: 61.0% Finished 39/691
Country vs Country: Just over halfway. Surely not 60% so far. Hopeful 50%+ (probably is)
Survivor 1: 61.7%
Survivor 2: 49.3% [swear: a 0% board that I think was nearly 100% CHO’s fault, and a 6.2% board where the line to the better result was conceivable but IMO my play was better given the bidding and earlier play)
Survivor 3: did not qualify
Mini-Survivor 1: 51.6%
Mini-Survivor 2: 54.2%
Mini-Survivor 3: ???
No, it wasn’t over 50%. Based on the still preliminary results now available, I was only 44% (thru 19 boards), but recovered to have a still preliminary 53%.
Preliminary 54% in day 3 Mini-survivor.
Wow. Country vs country stayed at 53% (53.3% final). But day 3 mini-survivor dropped to 48.7%. Don’t recall ever seeing such a big difference.
Klaymen’s preliminary 60.1% in country vs country held up.
What happened? Just logged in and no challenges. Perhaps the regular group challenge has timed out, though that surprises me. I thought it was ending this evening, but surprised this early. Thought I would surely be able to start it. But there is no challenge from AA either, and I didn’t think it was timing out yet.
Regular group challenge issued. Expires 9/13, 9:53 PM eastern time
