Ireland Imp Pairs St Patricks Day 8pm

Folks
Last night Bridgebase Online ran into capacity problems like almost the opposite of everything else hit by this unprecedented situation in our lifetimes. Yes Spanish flu after World War 1 was definitely pretty bad but it did not affect BBO or bridge playing.

Last night it was indicated that BBO was getting a server upgrade thru the night but as BBO is a rolling feast we don't know which night that might be.

We will run Ireland Imp Pairs at 8pm for 16 boards ...

Another idea that comes to me is to run hourly 8 board tourneys starting from 8pm on the hour.
If folk in Ireland would prefer this then let me know by text to 087 9032505.
I will ask during tonights tourney what is best

I understand 16 boards along with the waiting for others to finish boards might be too long.
How come these fast players never appear in bridge clubs ..

Who ever heard 5 minutes a board is too slow ..

There is one chap who cannot play as its bedtime for children about 830pm... I guess he could let the children stay up until 930pm

Last nights curtailed Imps Pairs was won by Aoife and Peter who got 3S down 5 on board 7


Kelan has sent me an 8 board challenge. He must be a good player as he keeps beating me. 
Must be tough being the 3rd best player in Kerry. The well known Pat Walshe emerged from Kerry many years ago. That man once declared 7D missing the Ace of Trumps. That man made the contract by inducing a revoke despite playing against top level Irish players.
