Tonight at 9 pm US Eastern Std Time, I will run an 8 board Individual tournament to review the four card combinations that I taught last week.

These combos will be scattered through the hands, so if you have been to the previous lessons, this will be a good review and practice. If not, it will be a good chance to catch up and learn them!

The combinations are
(1) 5-4 fit missing Jxxx
(2) 5-4 fit missing J10xx
(3) Axxx opposite Q10xx
(4) A10xx opposite Qxxx

The tournament will be hosted by 'lesson' and yoder will be the TD. After the tourney, we will gather in the Intermediate-Advanced Bridge Club (under Public Bridge Clubs) to discuss and review the hands from the tournament.

Everyone is welcome!!

I will be running a 6-board I-ABC Teaching Tournament today (Tuesday) at 8:30 pm US EST, and again tomorrow (Wednesday) at Noon US EST.

The subject of the lesson will be Safety Plays. There will be a discussion of the boards and how to play them in the I-ABC Public Bridge Club immediately after each tournament.

Look for Tournament #122 and Tournament #134 !

Everyone is welcome, and although the hands will be the same, you are allowed to play in both tournaments. It can be excellent practice to play them, hear the lesson, and then play them again, so join us and have some fun while you learn !! :lol:

Excuse me for replying although no-one is supposed to, but it amazes me why (North) Americans think it's enough to tell the readers what time the lesson is on in New York (it's actually EDT now, not EST).

How difficult can it be to to look it up if you are not familiar with time zones? jillybean2 did it in the beginning and got it wrong (GMT is not the same as London in the summer, so 2:30 pm EDT is 18:30 GMT), and now she stopped too. Maybe just as well if you get it wrong.

Here is a useful tool for you:

It's ridiculously easy and certainly a service the members deserve.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

I stand corrected. The tourney will be at 1 in the afternoon New York City time, which is in fact US EDT now. I trust everyone is capable of converting that to their own time zone. Thanks for the link, Walddk.

Time : Thursday 1630 EST (2130 GMT, 0830 NZT - Fri)

A six-board pairs (IMP scoring) tournament will be followed by a review of all six boards. This is for novice/intermediate players only, being a transfer from the BIL.

TD/tutor: hoki (Oliver Hoffmann, hoki@orcon.net.nz)

This session will be held weekly and emails will be sent in weeks when it will have to be cancelled due to non-availability of the tutor.

Correction: According to Roland, my tourney is at 1630 EDT.

But if D = daylight savings time
and S = summer time (which is the same),
what does the Eastern US use for winter time?

Why doesn't *everyone* use GMT? After all, that is the
world's standard time.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY HERE. If you like you can email me at
hoki@orcon.net.nz . Thanks.

Oliver
