2015 Bulletin 6

New Zealand National Bridge Congress 2015 September 26th to October 3rd Daily Bulletin 6 1st October Editorial Staff : Mark Hangartner Session Times for Thursday Session 1 : 10 am Session 2 : 2.15 pm Session 3 : 8 pm Hi all, The elephant in the room is the “cheating scandal”, dare I say the latest one? Chris Mulley has written a short piece, so I have put together a background summary. As mentioned in a previous bulletin both Ron Klinger and Nick Jacob asked pertinent questions about investigating cheating. I don’t want this to overwhelm the bulletins but include it as there will surely be changes to the game to keep it clean. Do you have a spare seat in your car going back to Auckland at the end of Congress? Or do you need a ride? Go to Registration to get put on a list. The Daily Bulletin is extremely grateful to Babich Wines for their on-going sponsorship. Babich is a top quality New Zealand vintner.

IBPA Bulletin 417, October 1999

IBPA Bulletin 417, October 1999 The Italian steam-roller continues, flattening opponents. Italy has added the IOC Grand Prix to its Rosenblum and European Open titles. At Junior level Italy also has the European and World trophies, suggesting that, when required, there will be new faces ready waiting in the wings. The final in Lausanne was one-sided with Italy reaching an early 95-1 lead over Brazil that made the rest of the match an anti-climax compared with last year’s tie between China and Brazil. The Angelini Trophy did not actually put in an appearance in Lausanne (it was the IOC that presented gold and silver cups to the finalists) but one suspects that it will soon exist: for one name on it will be that of Francesco Angelini, who heads the large privately- owned pharmaceuticals company that sponsored the Second Grand Prix. In Lille Angelini did not play in the final, but in Lausanne he was at the table when Italy built its lead against Brazil. The service of results for journalists on Internet was well-presented and speedy, and a useful source for your Editor’s newspaper reports, and this Bulletin. Sadly, some key facts (such as names, bidding and details of the play) were missing from deals that looked as if they would have provided good copy for our members. When there is no table recording, it is important for some journalist to obtain the details of the best hands from the players, before they have disappeared back to their separate hotels. And in my experience, the players, tackled soon enough, are more reliable than the table records.
