Here's the write up from the Flight B GNTs

Its probably more interesting as an example of what the webmaster is doing than any illustration of great bridge. Still, folks might find the following amusing.

It was probably significant for some or all of the participants.

I think it is excellent to promote their events in this way.

I appreciate promotion of the game. I think this coverage of a Flight B event is especially nice even if I wouldn't want to read such a report every day.

By mutual agreement the two swingiest pairs, Dyer-Cable due to system, and Willey-Popiel due to personality, played against each other throughout.


Seems like the author has a good sense of humor too :lol:

I think that it is great that a district would write up something like this with such detail for such an admittedly "insignificant" event.

I know that I definitely want to read about my GNT finals (Super/A/B/C), especially if a friend of mine (or me) is playing.

I think Richard also showed good humor for posting the link.
