From today’s weekend survivor day 2.
Pasted now, before I even make my bid, though I wouldn’t have even looked at it if I considered 3H ridiculous. But is 3H even conceivable on only 12 total points? I wouldn’t expect it to be reasonable without at least 16 total points.
WTF??? In a later hand from the weekend survivor, bot declarer just took a 0% play against me. Could never gain, with a clear chance, including the actual position, that it could cost a trick.
procrastinator runs away with the regular challenge, at +33.33, a win by 31.66. Reissued

Greetings from Philly. I was a bit sloppy but we made it thru the qualifying day. We are sitting at 100 but need to advance at last 27 places to make the overalls.

Monthly BBO Fest starts Mon Aug 4. For me, that means Country vs Country, Mini Survivor and Robot Survivor.
We had a good run, 17 platinum in small chunks:
64th in the Wernher Open Pairs (7.25)
36th in the Fast Pairs (9.76)
You have to be 75th percentile to hit the overalls and we were at 80 on both. He still needs 33 and I need 30.
Surely safe for day 2 in Robot Survivor. Preliminary 65.62%
And surely for day 2 in Mini Survivor, with preliminary 56.59%. 96.4% on board 1 really helps, though it doesn’t quite cover 3.3% on board 8, a slam over 50% just looking at our two hands, probably still over 50% also considering the auction, but no play as cards lie. Perhaps I was too aggressive, since (because it’s “best hand”) I know he has at most 15 HCP opposite my 15. But, as I said, it’s a slam you would want to bid.
Congratulations. Those platinum points for what level?
Platinum life master. Toby recently crossed 10,000 and I’m about 9,700. The next summer NABC will a 30min bus ride ride from my sisters house one state way, so we will probably play 3 events (3 day LM pairs if we make it that far) and the same two events Wernher and Fast Pairs
Oops. Got so busy with the BBOFest events that I didn’t complete either of the challenges. That means I don’t know either result. Regular challenge reissued
