Personally I'd like to see Tuszynski v. Feldman. Both teams appear to be in fine form having knocked off several higher seeded teams and there will be plenty of opportunity to watch the "usual suspects" in the next three rounds.

I think Team Orange (21), Lynch (10) and (outsider) Mahaffey (14) have the best chance of upsetting their higher ranked opposition.

I'm not sure Team Orange winning would be an upset :rolleyes:

Think I'd rather see the winner of Tuszynski vs Feldman face off against Nickell in the quarter-final and watch a different team in the round of 16.

All wishful thinking, guys, fair enough. As usual, we don't decide anything. At this point, 6 hours and 10 minutes before the start, we don't even know how many tables we are getting.

As a result, commentators will be assigned on the spot. It would be waste of everybody's time to do anything in advance.

However, this time we haven't seen any advertisements for volunteer operators in the daily bulletins, so who knows, maybe the organisers are well covered and perhaps able to broadcast from more than one match.

I voted for Lynch vs Henner-Welland, but looking at the line up's of this 1/16 round, every table promises the absolute world class bridge. To broadcast the closest match in 3rd & 4th quarter seems to be the best solution.
