How marvellous it is to be able to watch this event on vugraph live on BBO. Three matches at once, just fantastic. Also, the results web site just has to be the best ever, with live updates board by board for every match. Here is the link to see all the results as they occur http://www.abf.com.a...s/wjc/index.htm

Agreed. All this thanks to our wonderful staff on site. Norway showed the world last week, Australia are showing us now:

It can be done nicely if you work hard. No offence intended, but there are a few organisers in other places in the world who could learn a lot!

thanks for the kudos on behalf of the on-site organising committee.

Not only do we key in every auction and lead and every score from every board from every match a few minutes after they are played but we're now catching up with also keying in card play where recorded. But keep in mind this is 18 tables of 20 boards per match, no small job.

This service might give you some indication eg as to *how* Australia scored +1680 (6NTx) in Match five with two missing Aces. ;)

It's all fun here, the juniors are having a great time visiting one of the world's most beautiful cities and the bridge is getting exciting.

Stay tuned.

WOW! Last board of the final (provisionally) I saw 1687 people watching on BBO at the one table still in play. Great stuff.
