I think we should set the deadline to finish this round should be next sunday, the 26th of September unless all the pairs finish before then. There has been a few more pairs who have finished that I haven't updated the above list yet. As you known Jdonn/gib has bid them, so has olegru-driver733, east4evil-sohcahtoa, and cherdano/rogerclee.

[TylerE]

We have also.

[JLOGIC]

so has bluecalm

[Elianna]

We will try to bid them on Friday evening, or Saturday afternoon.

School is my priority, though.

How bout an update? How many have yet to bid?

[inquiry]

Mbodell and javabean finished bidding, so I think there are still two pair from the lower bracket who have not bid them yet. If either of them have a problem with bidding them today, but still want to bid them, we can extend the deadline again, but we need to hear from them or round 3 ends tonight. If they have already bid them, the host with the hands for these two pairs need to email me their results.

jlall/hanp

Didn't you roll out of bed on the 23rd for Karlson?

you are right.. I have that one.... so down to one

[inquiry]

These scores ARE NOT FINAL, if they were final, this is what would happen. Be sure to check your totals if you are close to going one. Justin and han would get the round 4 bye. The other three in upper bracket move to the playoff with -- in theory -- the top three from the lower bracket. If there remains such a huge difference between 4th and 5th place in the lower bracket, I suggest we actually promote the 4th place team. In part because 1 point out of 16 hands we could be fighting forever, and in part because there is not much difference between 105 and 106.


Upper Level:
115 hanp/jlall <<--- Round 4 "bye"
80 wackojack/flycycle <-- move to lower bracket
76 bluecalm/redds <-- move to lower bracket
72 awn/elianna <-- move to lower bracket

Lower level
116 TimG/TgoodwinSr <<-- move to round 4
106 sohcahtoa/east4evil <<-- move to round 4
106 gnasher/catch22 <<-- move to round 4
105 bid_em_up/TylerE <<-- I suggest change and move to round 4
98 jdonn/gib
92 MBodell/Javabean
81 ant590/cryzeejim
81 olegru/driver733
80 cherdano/rogerclee
77 peachy/Ig62
76 Karlson/threenobob


For fun bidders...

I think that makes a lot of sense.

Looks like a fair decision, unless the scores from previous rounds suggest a big difference.

[Fluffy]

or you can split the pair and make them both play with GIB, I will miss GIB otherwise

[hanp]

Me too, but perhaps Josh-GIB can keep bidding their hands "for fun".
