IAC vs ACOL - Challenge #3 Sunday May 1st
« on: April 10, 2022, 05:36:35 PM »
Hi all !
Are we ready for the next "battle"?  ;)

The next match is scheduled to take part on Sunday, May 1st, 2022. We'll have 2 starting times hours:
*  1100utc, 7am NY, noon London, 16:30 New Delhi, 11pm Auckland
*  1900 utc, 3pm NY, 8pm London, 7am Auckland
All those starting at 1100utc will play the same boards, and all those starting at 1900 utc will also play the same boards, but different from those at noon.
Each match is of 16 boards, played in two stanzas of 8 (* see below), changing opponents at half-time. Scoring is by IMPs.

Please form your teams and choose a captain, who should mail IAC.at.BBO@gmail.com (and please CC me: sanja@sapo.pt), stating your team name, BBO usernames of the pairs in the team, and which session you prefer (earlier or later, either or both). If you want, you can play in both sessions, assuming we have enough opposing ACOL teams.
Each team can have more than 2 pairs, but there will be only 2 stanzas, the captains should inform us which pair plays in which session.
Deadline for registration is April 26th @ 2359 utc.

If you are just a pair, please post here on forums and match up with another pair to form the team. Or as a single player, just say you'd like to play, and in which session, and pair up with another member : )

In the 2nd challenge 2 IAC teams won, and I am sure we'll do even better this time : ) And even more sure, all will enjoy the games, so do not miss!  :)

- * -
We received requests from some players to make matches 2* 10 boards. What is your opinion on that?

I'm sure that my OCP team would be happy with 20 boards.

I cannot make the Mayday event, I am sorry about that. June maybe.

I think these matches are a good idea, I have enjoyed them and have enjoyed the team, but May 1 is out for me.

Sadly Soosie and her partner redraw, they can not make it.
I asked many IAC members to register here, as teams, pairs and single players, and will match all into teams, best I can.
The list of registrations at the top will be updated consequently.

ACOL has MANY teams, I am so afraid we can not match all of them, but please lets have as many as we can. Thanks.

I can be the 4th, but I'm going to be hard pressed to get there exactly at 12. I might be playing from my car for the first hand or two.

Hi all, we are fully set for tomorrow's matches. I mailed captains with sitting order and short instructions.
You'll find the same file in the new 2022 05 folder within: https://tinyurl.com/mrycy7fz where we'll add all travellers and documents after the match.

Please be online 10 mins before start, and if some of your teamies is missing, try to get a friend for a sub, and inform BBO_IAC, username that will set all matches.
As all matches within one session play the same hands, it's crucial that there are no delays, so all matches can start as soon as possible.

Please do not forget to announce your system, leads and carding, and alert all artificial bids by their meaning, not just convention name.

Wish you best of luck dear IAC, and lotsa fun!! :)
