LAST match forum got off to a fast start but it was pretty much JEC after the first 6 boards. so our record remains a

dismal 3 and 100+. Jec has been nice enough to make sure a top notch medical staff is on hand in case the massacre

is too much for us to handle:)) anyone else want to go before the meat grinder???? sign up here at least wed noon eastern

before game time and all players wishing to reserve a spot must sign on here and agree to play.

I'm taking Blacksmithing classes next few weeks. However, at some point in time I'd be willing to give things another go.

I was wondering what you meant about ignored sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. When I go to the forum I read

each message and then I reply (every time I read something new). When I revisit I do not read what I have seen before

but take up my reading from my last comment so I missed your "edit".

Now take this last post you are up for it means what you are willing to play both dates??? please post again with

a bit more specificity so I can make plans. If you are willing to play w/o a regular partner would you be willing to

get some practice session in with me since I have seen some not regular partnerships get hammered mercilessly

playing JEC. The reason I ask about practicing with me is that we do not have many (never have) individuals looking

to play most want (not unreasonably) a regular partner. Let me know

ONE WEEK from next JEC match and so much competition the judges are having trouble making any decisions

about whom is going to represent the BBO FORUM POSTERS----------The rules sub committee has been complaining

vociferously that the seniority rules are just too complex to administer when such a high volume of volunteers are present.

The current run down of current volunteers (i hope there is enough space)

1.

2.

110.

420.

980.

1430.

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am sorry but ran out of room at 1430. There could be cancellations and while your chances of getting in

and actually playing against JEC appear small if you have enough seniority you never know unless you volunteer. I wish I could give

you an update as to the committee's current choices but they say they are a good 2 days from coming up with the current top 4 and

that is assuming the ever growing list of volunteers does not overwhelm them further:))) With so many to choose from I have a

good feeling about this and the next match march 1 ---------------------------------who knows with so many volunteers and such a wide

range of experience to draw from the BBO FORUM POSTERS may never lose to JEC again.

Since there hasn't been any posts, am I to assume that February 15th is off? I didn't have any time this week to play (don't have a regular partner at present), but IF some people decide they want to beat down JEC on March 1st, I should be able to get on some.
