It is a double elimination event and we went undefeated through the entire tournament. Our opponents played 160 boards, since they had to play a semifinal whilst we had a bye.
If you like lots of bridge, it is scheduled for 32 boards on Friday evening (may be cut to 24 boards next year), 72 boards on Saturday and 56 boards on Sunday. If you get eliminated at any point, then dropping into the two plate events does not reduce the number of boards significantly.
It is played in a very pleasant location, a few miles from the airport with a hotel across the street. We would like to see more teams playing.
You have to play the following hand in 7♣:

I would have to start training now, I could not play that number of boards.
What are your opponents leads ? (I'm just delaying giving the wrong answer)

I suspect we were lucky with the lead which will show us the way to tackle hearts.
