Let's see if this garners more interest than Matchpoints...

When: Saturday, April 21st, 2012
Western Europe 20:00 CEST
UK 19:00 BST
East Coast 14:00 EDT
West Coast 11:00 PDT

What: IMP Teams, a total of 24 boards. 2 entries: 1 round of 24 boards, 3-4 entries: 2 rounds of 12 boards, 5-8 entries: 3 rounds of 8 boards. If both teams agree, the final round can be extended by 4 boards. Single KO, consolation games available. Boards duplicated across all matches. Seeding and byes at director's discretion. No HUMs, no BSCs.

Who: To be eligible to play, your team must have a combined BBF post count of at least 50. (So one BBFer can play with 3 non-BBFers.) No more than 8 entries per tournament can be accepted. Please designate a captain who will be responsible for communicating with the director.

I hope the deafening silence here just indicates that y'all are busy asking your non-BBF friends to play.

14th I have already a non bridge appointment.

But I will ask, if I have a team on the 21, the members except
me, will be non BBF.

The time suits me better than the BBF matches against JEC.

I will put a team together for the 21.04. date, I will be the captain, and most likely the
only BBF regular on the team.

Hm we do need a few more registrations to get a match going. How about our Finnish Christmas champions? ;)

Also, surely someone wants to play with hrothgar next week... jillybean?

Come on people, don't be shy!

I'd love to play but at this time of year my weekend-days are packed with my daughters softball and acting classes.
I'm a taxi driver, back catcher dresser, theatre critic and dog walker on the weekends :)

I hope, there will be some kind of autographing session after the play.

My current suspicion is there will be an autographing session but no play. :(

And I thought Matchpoints was unpopular... starting to wonder how many BBF posters actually play bridge. Come on guys! ;)

The way I see it, we need just one person willing to partner hrothgar to team up with Flameous and teemuhy so we can actually have a match.

P_Marlowe, you do have a team ready for tomorrow, yes?
