Not sure this is the right place to post, but it's about the Cavendish. I was watching, on the Saturday, and there was a hand where I think Weinstein/Levin, were playing against Jannsma and his partner, and there was a director call involving a 6d contract and a hesitation. The director was going to consult with other directors prior to making a final ruling. I wondered if anyone knew the final ruling on that hand. Thank you.
Cavendish. Now.

Can someone explain the difference between the regular pairs game and the World Production Pairs?

The regular pairs game (the cavendish) is invitation only, essentially just open to the absolute best players in the world or players that are very close to that, as well as to the richest clients who will presumably bid a lot during the auction to put a lot of money in play. The WBP pairs is open to anyone who wants to enter, but tends to be a very good field with lots of expert players although for the most part not the absolute top players. They are run essentially the same with entry fees and a calcutta (auction), except the cavendish is more sessions, uses screens, and involves a lot more money!
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

If I recall correctly, the winners of the WBP are entitled to play in the "real" event the following year.
Jan Martel, who should probably state that she is not speaking on behalf of the USBF, the ACBL, the WBF Systems Committee, or any member of any Systems Committee or Laws Commission.

The players involved were Lev - Cohler (NS), the pair that bid 6♦, against Ekeblad - Jansma.
