This is another tough set to start the third annual competition. With only 9/24 panelists and around 30 competition entrants out of a record entry of over 4,500 scoring in the 70s, special congratulations are due to everyone who made the leader-board this month. Only one winner this month, with a score of 77/80, it is:
John Lusky (Pachyderms) from Portland OR, USA
John is a retired lawyer and lives in Portland, Oregon. His career bridge highlights include reaching the semi-finals of the 2012 Vanderbilt, and finishing second in last year’s Transatlantic Seniors online competition.
Also on the Janvier 'Roll of Honour':
With a score of 76/80:
Inon Liran (inonli) from Tel Aviv, Israel, and
Stephen Cooper (scoop) from Toronto, Canada
and, with a score of 75/80:
Andreas Meramveliotakis (kleze) from Greece, and
Mike Doecke (Wesley C) from Australia
The average score this month was 44.70 (down from 46.84 last month). This month saw a record-shattering entry of more than 4,500 BBO members. Can we break the 5,000 barrier next month?
This was a tough set, so congratulations to everyone who scored 65/80 or more to make it onto the Janvier leader-board:
