I love the idea, count me in!

Discuss hands? That's what the forums are for!

What would be interesting is if we could convince Ben to use Home Base's software to generate hand records

Bestest Xmas gift ever. To all those involved, run it the way that you like and that is the best for you. :blink: We, the gracious gift receivers will enjoy whatever comes our way in gift-wrapping :) Tks too to Homebase for providing grist for our mills.

I'll play if you make it part of my birthday celebrations.

Just to clarify this comment.. Don (Double !) is more than welcome in any tournament - its the ! in his name that causes the problems, not him :angry:

I think it the "space" between Double and ! that causes the trouble.

What about one next sunday morning (Greenich time)? That will be convenient for Asians and Australians, and for Californian night hawks. Those at the North American East cost will have to suffer.

I think it's the "!"; Uday says that (some) spaces are OK: http://forums.bridge...howtopic=15920#

I don't recall having any issues with include lists and spaces, but have heard of problems with "!"s before, though in reference to exclude lists rather than includes.

I'd like to note that Don's nick, "Double !", appears twice in the list Kathryn has posted above - once alphabetically and again at the end. Dunno if this would cause problems should anyone try to use it as is.
