Ireland Imp Pairs results from Sunday March 22nd

Good morning folks

Ireland Imp Pairs Every night at 8pm ..Free Tourney
Open to all Ireland flags..message eamongall if you cannot get in. However change to an Ireland South flag and its usually ok. 

I think BBO selects the current group of Ireland flags and my followed list at creation of the event so I need to refresh if a person changes from say Northern Ireland to Ireland flag. 

If you want to play for first time .. best not arrive at 758pm .. look in earlier and try registering. Tourney is visible from about 615pm.

So last night we had 19 tables again. Zippy and Jamesians decided to eject mid tournament so we won't be seeing them again. 

Be aware that in these days of BBO capacity issues ... (someone indicated there were 28000 logged on at one stage last night and this is only those inside the front screen. Another 1000 or 2000 or so could be playing on the front page incognito. )

BBO will issue you a warning after a few minutes of inactivity and then log you off if no action. This could happen if you play 2 fast boards and leave the room with 8 minutes of the round left. Sometimes people forget they are in a tournament and get distracted in the house and then they are subbed. 
Its just BBO minding its resources not an insult or not me kicking you.

So the results and hand record and the wet teabag or maybe he misclicked.

And the wet teabag down in 6NT probably an accident ..

Interactive Teabag

KitKat slam
On the same deal we saw the N1 Kitkat drive her B1 kitkat to slam ... should be okay with 26 high card points opposite 9. 
However we had 4 pairs out of 19 all who would be a long way from Novice failing to get past everybodies favourite contract of 3NT. Despite the 35 combined high card points. 

Board 1 
Board 1 , Why not 2D 1C and 1H but 12 pairs leave out 10 tricks.. Not so bad in part score but the 3 pairs leaving out the game is painful for them. 
Board 2
Board 2 and 12 pairs are letting out 3NT 3S 1H 1D ???

Thats enough for me as I will only get into trouble and the carpet rises ever higher.

Here is the board hand record

As indicated before a smartphone or something can up the size.

Then mid morning there comes a phone call .....Board 9
Denis nearly makes 4S but Anna should have Ace diamond

Everyone knows that Anna bids without caution and puts maximum pressure on the opponent.
So Denis has a guess to make 4S and guesses wrong .. He should have been long down in this contract but got a favourable lead, These things happen.

Then there is board 10 .. and our man is on the whinge again.
Anna responds 1NT with 11 high card points and NO ALERT.

Em she followed up by bidding 2NT ... of course she has 10 or 11. She is not lacking the brain.
I did not hear any whinge about collecting 2 vulnerable undertricks and plus 5.3 imps.
