we need some more nominations. I like this thread, and Andy's first response: http://www.bridgebas...after-to-double

It is a small gem but I learned something from it.

And I second the nomination of RSClyce for newcomer of the year.

ewj for real-life achievement, for a narrow loss in the Gold Cup final yesterday.

On Saturday, the semis were played, and it looked like we were going to be guaranteed a BBF winner; sadly, Wank's teammates got too high and then went two off in a contract that could have been one off, meaning his team lost by four-tenths of an IMP.

If this ever happened, I'd want to open book on how long it would take before:

1. a post was deleted by a mod
2. the thread was closed by a mod.
3. we were all sorry about the whole thing

But it might be (sort of) fun while it lasted B-)

Yeah, that's why the posters remained in my mind, and not in the thread.
