No news on ACBL online teamgames. :)

Some online speedballs are pretty big. I played in a few 150 pair tourneys.

Actually, though, he didn't commit a crime (fraud, in this case) to get more matchpoints, he did it to conceal another crime (adultery).

Adultery is a crime? Good grief, our jails are already full.

Lots of things are crimes that shouldn't be, or probably shouldn't be. That's why our jails are full. :P

How many boards?

The same in both....12

Interesting. That's a bit less than 6 minutes per board. The usual recommendation in f2f bridge for a "normal" session is about 7.5 minutes per board - and many people, particularly in club games, take longer. Sometimes much longer. :)

When you play "normal" bridge you use a lot of time to non-playing. Getting the cards, moving to another table, counting the cards and putting them into order. These things is already done while playing online. I have played a lot of tourneys, and nearly withouth exception we all use from 2-4 minutes.

A quick tournament should after my opinion have max 5 minuter per board. Preferable 4.

Might be OT but played Fast pairs in Detroit, 1st session was 2hr 20 min for 24 brds, which is not BBO speedball blazin' but still, nice.

Thanks,
Dan
