This didn't go well, lost by 75 IMPs. Not sure what went wrong, I wasn't kibbing but with both our pairs testing system and gadgets I suppose wrinkles came out?

Not much about system. We collected minus mostly from worse judgement at biding and some errors in hard defensive situations. Our opponents showed how little errors they can make.
Of course it helps biding judgement when one gets more familiar with the new system but that shouldn't be our (me&Derric) excuse for mistakes.

I was giving you an excuse
OK OK, that doesn't help when you really want to improve. Any interesting hands or decisions? Was it good practice? Kibs were pretty ruthless, but most of them just watched the score and drew the conclusion you must be bad, else why are you losing. The better players were interested in the system stuff and asked if anyone knows what you are playing.

Nothing special realy. A lot of small details. Some errors probably were missed by ruthless kibs because they didn't cost anything. We found something to improve from over 20 boards.
No surprise that kibs were telling we are bad players. We were bad compared to our opponents but that is just relative to our opponents. Most of ruthless kibs wouldn't be favorites to win if playing against our line up on Saturday. I prefer to play against world champions and lose. That is the best way to learn play better.
I like to keep our agreements publicly shared. They are still far from including all details but they are complete enough to give general idea how the system is supposed to work. https://googledrive...._Pauli_2015.pdf
