Well managed, fun tournament very congenial opponents. Suggest all players be required to post CC. Many of the European partnerships are playing unusual methods i.e. Multi (many varieties) and unusual two level openings not allowed by our mother, the ACBL, who sees fit to keep her children in the dark least they taste the forbidden fruit from the bridge tree of knowledge. Thus treating us like mushrooms....keeping us in the dark and shoveling donkey fazzol (aka horse sh--).
Thank you, Joel, noted. Glad you enjoyed the tournament! We plan to run more of these soon 🙂
how do I post my lineup for round of 8?
On the lineups page choose
Quarterfinal:
Round 2 - Segment 1
Round 2 - Segment 2
we did already. Please ask our opps to post their covention card
what happens in the round of 8?
does the team that finished1st play the team that finished 8th in the Swiss (or defeated the 8th place team.)
.and 2nd vs. 7th etc.?
Whoever beats the higher ranked team would take over their position
,I assume.
Is this correct?
Yes, this is correct
will there by carryover for the teams that qualify for the KOs? how will it be done? please explain.
How will the 16 teams be matched up? will it be top score vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th, etc.?
This should be in the Conditions of Contest.
Its a good event but would have been better if the entry fee was $5 a day per player. then the prize money would be about 4-5 times as much as it is now.
We hope you will run more events of this caliber.
I will contact you after the tournament to offer my help.
We added details on the KOs and updated the Conditions of Contest. Yes please let us know your feedback after the event. We plan to run more of these in the near future.
The conditions of contest say 4 to 8 players on a team. Why is the Zia team allowed to have 12 players entered?
Sylvia Shi has been suspended for 3 years by the ACBL. Why is she allowed to play in this event?
It is possible to add more players on the team if you need. All teams were invited to contact us if they need to change a pair or do other lineup changes. As the event progresses it's inevitable that things come up and we are flexible.
