Come one come all for another rip roaring year of generally getting our heads stomped on BUT

remember it is NOT HOPELESS----we have now seen THREE victories (vs like 100 losses sigh)

but it can be done and it is great practice especially when one remembers the hundreds of bbo

readers that are watching your every move (helps develop a thick skin) the reservations department

is now open 24/7 for your convenience and early registration gives one the best possibility of playing

(barring seniority displacement that is):)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

sorry for all of the volunteers that didn't get a chance to play this weekend (sarcasm) I put a last min team together

sylviafay/rusmitch mills100/gszeszycki wish us luck




I see we have a pair volunteer for the 25th that's a good start so early so we are halfway home (as soon as ibraves

verifies intent to play that is --here)

Why exactly do you need this clarification? If Mbodell says his partnership is free to play presumably his partner is in on the deal?

Agreed - unless there has been a problem in the past with people not showing up, this seems unnecessary.

Yeah, I had already confirmed with him via email before I posted. I'll email him and ask him to post to this thread but really, in case he doesn't get the email in the next 4.5 hours, please do consider us confirmed.

(We've not been a no show yet, although we did miss one match where JEC was a no show due to computer issues).

reasons two fold first we have indeed had 9 times where pairs failed to show and had to be replaced we have also

had 3 times where one player of a pair did not show but the one that did show found another partner (bypassing

our first come first served rule). It has not happened much but it is a pain and to be honest JEC has been getting

somewhat impatient with our lateness to form teams. That is why we are now getting them turned in by wed sighhhhh
