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.
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.

The picture above shows only the top half of the field.
And here is the hand record
Here is an incident from last night. The players used for display purposes are not involved
So West opens 1H and North overcalls 2D and EW arrive in 6H making 12 tricks.
West indicates if he had known the 2D was a multi type bid he would have reached 7H.
Now that is all probably very probable ...
However to me it is clear by examining the North players profile and from common sense that a misclick happened. I have never heard of 2D being a multi convention over a 1H opening.
It surely should mean diamonds.
Straight away I presume a misclick and on looking at Norths profile I see ..Joined BBO on March 22nd or so. Further investigation gets North telling me he is 2 days into this great website and is finding his way around. He clearly did not mean to bid 2D but meant to bid 2S or even 3S instead.
So I gave West the 13th trick but West wanted the full 7H. I can hardly penalize a 2 day old Bridgebase newbie for a misclick. Eventually the West indicated he is retiring defeated.
I said " You are not defeated but the guy misclicked and even Eamon cannot tell the future if EW knew it was SPADES. Of course West will count his void in Spades must better and his great diamonds and most likely bid 7H making.
Bidding 7H is another 7 imps but BBO does not have the facility to award a split score.
I could enter 6HX instead but that affects other players imps on this board too.
The North player tried to UNDO ...but lack of experience online meant he typed it into the chat rather than pressed the UNDO button ...
To repeat it was not the players shown. Mind you Ewion and Skibbereen got a nice bonus from Kindereile and Smithy1066 but such is life.
Hmmm Don't tell me there is another Kinder around ...
