JEC's team will be:

JEC - smispi
dougs - kennye

[helene_t]

I played twice today so I suppose I exceeded my quota but I can play again

[diana_eva]

Anyone wants to play today? I shd be giving our line-up soon.

[helene_t]

sorry I somehow thought it was tomorrow. Can't play today.

[diana_eva]

I told them no team. So this is cancelled.

I don't know for Saturday. Susina says she will only know whether there is a game at 2PM a few hours before start. The staart hour might change too. The game might be cancelled all together.

So if anyone can play tomorrow and is mentally prepared for last minute changes - please apply here for Saturday at 2PM EDT (8PM CET)

[helene_t]

I will stick around tomorrow.

helene_t + aditan
We have played loads of times but it has been a while so need to refresh. multi/polish 2-openings but otherwise nothing shocking.

[diana_eva]

OK need another pair pls

So this is for today at 2PM (8PM CET) for those confused who arent reading the whole thread

[diana_eva]

BBF team for Saturday is

helene_t + aditan
hrothgar + foobar

Good luck!

Just so you know, this is a great way for me, at least, to miss the announcement, because I mostly monitor the forum via the "recent topics added" sidebar. Not that I wanted to play, just for future reference.

This was a one-time thing, I normally start one thread per request. But here it was like 4 requests in 2 days, all in very short notice I really hope that won't happen again

In such a situation it might be better if susi maintained a list of people she is ok with and who would be willing to play on short notice, if necesarry with a p/u partner. There are probably some suitable people who don't check bbf constantly. Setting up a dummy tourney and use the partnership desk might be an option.

There was a lot of confusion, I had very limited time to prepare with Vank and the little time we had wasn't use effectively since I had to answer queries from susi and from people I had previsouly asked if they could play, and even so I missed replying to one friend who apparently thought she might be playing and only realized that wasn't invited when the mathc started so she was not ammused.

Vank and I had the following agreements: 2/1 std woolsey. That's it. Thankfully I didn't get any cards to bid on so there was little scope for bidding misunderstandings.
