Colin, poco1 is doing his best to find the 5th team for the challenge.
If he does not succeed, I am so very sorry, BLU, we won't have opponents for your team. But let's not get blue yet, there is still time, and lets hope for the best.

ACOL has the teams to match all ours, YAY!!
I'll send the mail to captains, with usual instructions, but wont harm repeat here:



This is 8th challenge, and currently IAC leads with 4 victories against ACOL's 3. They will do their best to tie up, I am sure exciting and fun battles expect us this sunday!

Please be sure all your players are online and ready to start playing 10 minutes before scheduled start time. Also, please tell players to NOT be engaged in another game, BBO changed team matches setup and now we can NOT invite any player that is playing elsewhere, even solitaire. If you need any changes in your team, add subs etc, please message bbo_iac online.

Have your system, leads, carding agreed and announce when you meet the opponents. Emphasize to your players that they must alert all artificial bids, not by convention name, but by what it means to their partner. Do not forget ACOL players are unaware that 1M-2m is GF in 2/1, that's artificial and must be alerted, as well as 1M-1N as 1 round forcing, just to mention few.

Please see here: https://tinyurl.com/2p9jaw28 , who your opponents will be.

See you all on Sunday, wishing IAC teams best of luck and lotsa fun for all!


Hugs, Sanya (Curls77)

Hi, I am playing in the acol team for the first time. Brian tells me my team is playing against his so should be interesting. One thing I noticed though is it will be 8am Monday for NZ not 7am as our daylight savings time has started. That dreaded time of the year for time changes!  Next month will be 9am here when your  daylight savings ends. Cheers, Eleanor

We are so glad you joined Eleanor : )) We welcome all players to participate, whichever side they choose!   

Hope to see you again next month, and yeah - hear hear - about the dreadful clock change, I keep fixing own mistakes in IAC schedule lol
