IAC vs ACOL - Challenge #8 Sunday October 2nd

[Curls77]

Are we ready for the next battle?? 
Right now IAC is in the lead, yay!!! We have won 4 against ACOL's 3 victories, and I am sure they will fight hard in the next one!

This month we'll hold the event on Sunday, October 2nd, 2022.
Deadline for registration is Wed, September 28 @ 2359utc, after which we can not accept new registrations.
We'll have 2 starting times:
*  1100utc, 7am NY, noon London, 16:30 New Delhi, 11pm Auckland
*  1900 utc, 3pm NY, 8pm London, 7am Auckland
All boards are random, but previously saved in sets of 10 hands, so that 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 20 boards, played in two stanzas of 10, changing opponents at half-time. Scoring is by IMPs.

How to register:
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.
Important: Captains, please get basic CC from each pair, and or include system notes when registering the team. They can be as short as "2/1 udca" or "modified precision with journalist leads", rest will be explained at the tables.

You can also register here in forums, just make a post as a reply to this topic, but please do not edit old posts or we might miss any new information. There is limited number of teams we can accept, and first registered is first served, so make sure you reserve your place. Even if you do not have full team, register and let us know later players' usernames.
Even 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, we'll try pair you up with another single member : )

- * -   GOOD LUCK IAC   - * -

OK Sanya I will get in early hoping that I can get a team together from myself, Ken, Joe, Pat and Vee with preferences in no particular order.  So if any of these redoubtable players would like to volunteer it would be on a 1st come first served basis. 

Later slot: 1900 UTC
CAPTAIN: Wackojack
 TEAM: 7NT
Players ?


 

[annwann]

want to be added  iac team sunday 2 oct

[kenberg]

Life has been hopping around like a drunken bunny so it's best I avoid commitments. Even drunken bunnies can sober up so this won't be forever.

Short version: Skip over me for Oct 2.

Ann: I took your name, but please see with Rebeka or other players you already played with and try to be included in the team.

Ken: Sorry we will miss you again, enjoy the events you have in private life : )

Thanks all!

Hi Rebeka, pls let us know system/carding for each pair and the team name?

[wackojack]

In my earlier post I forgot to include Todd.  I certainly did not mean to do that.  Here is my team suggestion to be confirmed hopefully soon.

Later slot: 1900 UTC
CAPTAIN: Wackojack
 TEAM: 7NT
Players:
Todd (Masse24) + Joe (YleeXotee)
Wackojack + Pat (CCR3)  1st 10
Wackojack + Vee (Veeree) 2nd 10

If either Todd or Joe cannot make it the Pat will step into that partnership

Please Todd and Joe confirm.  And sincere apologies to Todd for my oversight in not inviting him. Will confirm direct to Sanya when settled. 

[Masse24]

I'm in.

[wackojack]

Now confirmed

Later slot: 1900 UTC
CAPTAIN: Wackojack
 TEAM: 7NT
Players:
Todd (Masse24) +Pat CCR3)
Wackojack + Vee


Both pairs playing 2/1

[blubayou]

Salty1945 & BLU  will join rebecahM  and dracula  in the early slot

[Curls77]

Thanks all, I think I picked all alternations, please review the top post and let me know if anything escaped me.

We still need more teams for the later session, please.

[brian_m]

I can get an OCP team together for October, I'm just not certain as to who the fourth player would be until I know Oliver's shift patterns.

Aravind (iamadeus) and Douglas (p0stm0rtem)
Brian (brian_m) and Oliver (oliverc) if Oliver is available, or Jeff (morvix) if not.

[blubayou]

Salty and I  are good for the late session;   Calling all old "across-the-border" members , and others:)

[Curls77]

I think I added all new info and alterations, please check the 1st post and let me know if something is missing.
