any chance for some venice cup matches?

[Walddk]

If we were to decide, we would most likely have a couple of Venice Cup matches during the round-robin. The thing is, however, that we don't have a say as long as we are only connected to the onsite vugraph match in each round. The decisions are made by the onsite commentators.

If it is technically possible, in combination with getting enough volunteer operators, we would be happy to add one match in every round. Then we could even decide which match to go for, and then we would have a chance to show the women.

I suspect that we will get something from the Venice Cup eventually; if not before, then in the knockout phase, but at this point it's nothing but a guess. With all due respect to the women, the Bermuda Bowl has and should have (my opinion) first priority, simply because it's a fact that this is the wish of the vast majority of the viewers.

Although it may hurt Frances to see this, we will get our first match from the Venice Cup Thursday. Here are the fixtures:

Round 13: Italy vs. Egypt (BB)
Round 14: China vs. England (VC)
Round 15: Japan vs. England (BB)

As was the case Wednesday in rounds 11 and 12, we may add one match to rounds 14 and 15. No promises though.
