1st Ireland Imp Pairs revival results

Last night we ran the first renewal of the Ireland Imp Pairs.
This initiative has come from several sources starting with CBAI headquarters.
Regent Bridge Club anchored by Peter Goodman is coming on board.
We have advertised on Malahide Regional Bridge Club.
Anyone who sees this feel free to place a mention on their club website.
All levels are welcome.
Peter Goodman (petepunt) of Regent is co-director with eamongall for now.

Last Night Thursday we gathered in about 15 Irish players and about 3 minutes before the start we opened it up to the world and a few more players joined us. 
We hope to eventually run with only Irish players but for now we will open it up to get comparisons.
A partnership desk operates on this tourney so people can show up and choose a partner. 
Some players like Magic Murphy like to partner a robot. This costs all of 25 cents and that money goes to Bridgebase Online. 
The tournament is FREE unless you decide to go the ROBOT route. 
Results of last night are posted above. 
Myself and Peter and whoever else joins us will hopefully run this tourney until our crisis is over and the major bridge clubs reopen. 
Tonight we will make it Swiss ... thus leaders play leaders and I think the draw is made in a timely manner rather than waiting out the clock or waiting on slowboats.
