8/28 (wed) Gszeszycki (my alter ego) was asked to come up with a
partner to play against JEC. I asked KFITZ to join me and along with
STEWBALL/LEROUMAIN we trudged off to battle never quite expecting
the match to last THREE HOURS and 3 minutes. When the dust settled
we won the match by 1 imp (we were tied going into the last board).

While all of this seems like trivial news it does create a quandary for
me since I am a member of BBO FORUM POSTERS and our team
was a legally recognized poster squad (becasue i played sigh).

My quandary is this since a win would give me carte blanche to play
every time we face JEC (according to my rules sigh) if I play with a
different partner until I lose-------should this unscheduled appearance
with no opportunity for other posters higher on seniority list had a chance
to play----SHOULD THIS MATCH COUNT OR NOT and should the result
be posted in the archives?????????

I leave the final outcome for this decision with all posters that vote since
future pairings etc hang in the balance:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I think only games where team memvers are solicited here should count. A "BBF Team" is one that was formed through the forum and invited to represent us, not one that just happens to include forum posters on it.

Congratulations on the win. No, your win shouldn't count as a bbf win for reasons mentioned above.
