Welcome to the human race. BTW BTDT (too many times, of course once is too many :) ) Just be glad you don't do this often or at least as often as the guys you are playing.

There is a scoring error in the online scores for the USA 1 - Israel match. The recorded score in the Open room on board 14 is 4♥E just made on the ♣Q lead, which is obviously a duplicate of the board 15 score. The score on Vugraph was 4♠E down 1 on a low heart lead.

The voice commentary is fabulous. Thank you Roland & Co.

Edit: technical difficulties in second half of Italy vs Israel notwithstanding.

All today it is almost impossible to get onto the World bridge site to get up to date scores due to the level of traffic. Not impressive.

Thank heaven for BBO vugraph so that we can at least follow scores in individual matches, but if anyone knows how the overall scores are looking and is prepared to post them here I'm sure people will be interested.....

Unfortunately team Italy seems to rule :P They have a 16 VP lead on us and an easier schedule for the last 6 matches, they're definitely gonna be hard to catch.

In the KO phase, no one will remember who was actually 1st in the RR.

First in the RR gets to pick their opponent from 5th through 8th, then they get to pick who is on which side of the bracket, effectively picking their SF opponent. This also gives them a chance to pick someone they have a lot of carryover against (half carryover from RR). Winning the RR is a big thing.

Time to reach into you bag of tricks and grab the roofing nails to throw in front of you opponents...oh wait that only works for road racing...drat :)

The winners do not always take advantage of this opportunity to maximise carry-over. In 2007, Italy won the round robin and picked the team in 8th place (South Africa) against whom they had a negative carry-over. South Africa won that quarter-final match (by more than the carry-over amount).

Regarding the semi-final, presumbly the requirement for the two USA teams to meet (if both still in the competition at that stage) takes precedence over the preferred bracket of the round robin winners.

You really shouldn't count the first 2 pairs. They are also in 3rd for what I am assuming to be most IMPs gained. And, if you eliminate all pairs who have played less than 176 boards, then Grall would be in 1st. :P

Could/would anyone please explain to me how you calculate Butler Rankings? I would appreciate it.

Anyway my hopes are on your team taking the title. Maybe you then can become the spokesman for bridge like Cultberson or Goren taking the game to the popularity it once had.
