Help
This upcoming Friday, Saturday and Sunday we are having a live vugraph broadcast from the Commonwealth Nations Bridge Championship in Melbourne.
I have read that the Commenwealth Nations are 53 independent states with around 1.8 billion inhabitants.

In the light of these facts it's a little sad to see that only 9 of those nations will take part in the bridge event. Guernsey and Jersey, yes, and various Australian states, yes, but they are not members as such.

With this said, I am also confident that the bridge will be of high quality when we get to the semi-finals and finals.

When the dust settled after the round robin of 19 x 8-board matches, the final rankings of the top teams were:
1. Derofe Australia (Derofe, Richman, Nagy, Del'Monte, Demuy) - 333
2. Noble Australia (Noble, Prescott, Bilski, Brown, Green, Grosvenor) - 328
3. England (Brunner, Holland, Hassett, Hirst) - 320
4. Canberra (Thomson, Brightling, Bourke, Delivera, Wawn, Hoffman) - 320
5. Hackett England (Hackett, Armstrong, Callaghan, Gardner, Bach, Cornell) - 320
6. India (Agrawal, Sequeira, Chakradeo, Lewis, Shah, Manna) -311
..
10. South Africa (Apteker, Donde, Gowar, Chemaly, Zindel, Chu) -298
Under the conditions of contest, South Africa take the bronze medal as the third ranked Commonwealth nation. There is also a requirement that there must be least two Commonwealth nations in the semi-finals and one in the final, so the semi-final match-ups are:
SF1: Derofe Australia v Noble Australia
SF2: England v India (essentially the gold-medal match)
Vugraph coverage starts tonight and continues over the weekend.
