Help
For the Australian National Open Teams early next year, I am planning to cover the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final. Each is a 64-board match played on Saturday 22 Jan 2005, Sunday 23 Jan 2005 and Monday 24 Jan 2005 respectively.
I will have available sufficient infrastructure and operators to cover two tables only so I'm interested in what people's preferences are as to whether I should do dual-table coverage of one match (thereby enabling spectators to see the full bidding and play at both tables using the "movie" function) or single-table coverage of two separate matches (whereby only the contract and number of tricks will be known for the closed room comparative - but fans can stay on top of what going on in both semi-finals).

single table,both semis
we can only be at one table,this way we can choose which match to watch

Hi mrdct !
I'm a big fan of vu-graph and both are fine for me if there are comparisons !
However, I think that it would be better to see both semis so that the persons who personnally know the players can choose which table to watch.

I vote both semi-finals one table. Many people will be rooting for one team and if only one match is shown (the other match) that's not so good.
Comparisons are quite easy to do. A director or caddy should copy the scores from the official sheet when they become available and give them to the operator.
