jeffford76 defeated me by 38-16.

http://webutil.bridg...332&u=smerriman
http://webutil.bridg...279&u=smerriman

Most interesting hand - 10 of those IMPs were picked up on the first board of the second set when he opened 1♥ in third seat with four hearts to the queen and a balanced 8-count, causing wild competition.

So far we have:

7 completed matches
2 half completed matches (ovncylmz vs vampyr and olegru vs gordontd)
2 other matches (dadim vs nige1 and phoenix214 vs nekthen).

dadim - if nige1 still hasn't responded yet (according to profile, hasn't checked in on the forum for over a week), go ahead and start a challenge with MrAce instead.

phoenix214 + nekthen - both profiles show recent forum activity - any update?

This match wasn't as swingy. I was worried that I would lose big on board 8, since we failed to bid the cold slam, but neither did Richard.

I lost both sets by wide margins. I'm sure I am out of contention

For your records, I lost by 77 IMPs.

Not true! I had a balanced 7 count. :)

I heard that dadim is +37 vs. mrace. (final result 48-11)
My opponent (vampyr) didn't show up for the second set for last 4 or 5 days. I was up by 47, so I assume that I also won at this point.

If I didn't miss anything this is what we have so far.

gordontd vs olegru(+38, not complete)
dadim(+37) vs MrAce
ovncylmz(+56) vs Vampyr
nullve(+10) vs frank0

phoenix214 vs nekthen
manudude03 vs zebutin(+27)

Anyone message (here or at BBO) the following people: phoenix214, nekthen, gordontd
to figure out the issues?

Suggestion for the future events,
1. Have a clear rule on time limit of each match and the rule related to withdraw.
2. Consider 3 or 4 way match or RR on the first round.

Yes, sorry. After playing the first set legless at 4am, I was trying to gather the strength to make a comeback! In vain, alas.

Good luck!

Agree about time limits, but need to be careful about withdrawals. If Player A invites, and Player B does not accept, that should be a win by default.

At halftime, it's trickier. I think it will function better if the leader makes the invite. If someone does not accept, then the leader wins as if there was a halftime concession.

If the leader at halftime doesn't set up the match or is unresponsive the commissioner needs to get involved.

That would be too strict. My first challenge invite to broze timed out, should I have considered that a win by default? Was obvious he hadn't logged on or seen it at all, and we had enough time left to play two sets.

We agreed to play the second part this week. Hopefully soon.

Knowing the deadline would help.
