Btw for anyone interested in our excuses, we played numbers 7 8 and 9 on our laptops. Big mistake. I was hungover too lol.
I have no excuse for number 14. Things should start spicing up though, we both have played badly (well he says he has been unlucky on slams, but I know I have played badly) and not really gotten big scores yet.

How long do these tourneys last? Am I correct in concluding that if I work really hard over the next few years, and close the gap, that I, too, might someday be able to pull in a dollar an hour at money bridge?
EDIT: Oops. Ok, I just read Justin's other blog entry, and now there's egg on my face. Seriously, jdonn, that is an unbelievably impressive record!

One cannot withdraw the BB$s that are won on BBO, right?
If yes, what do you do with the thousands of earned BB$s at the end of the exercise?
