Baker exited with the SQ, Wolpert winning in dummy and tossing JT another small diamond. The H3 went to the king and a small club was led to the king in dummy. The club spots were evil for Wolpert. Baker was able to . AQ82 collect three clubs and the heart queen for down one. There was much more action in the other room. Westheimer thought her 4-4 in the blacks with 11 HCP was worth a vulnerable takeout double opposite her passed hand partner. Bernstein showed her values and Disa, looking at a four count with six spades and a singleton club, decided to take the early save. Bernstein made the sporting double with her ace/king of trump and two outside aces. Wheeler started with a heart to Bernstein’s jack. Bernstein cashed the king of trump and the ace of hearts and exited with a heart. When the smoke cleared, the game was down three. 14 IMPs to Baker 3 Day Date Time Boards Played Friday July 12 9:30 am Captains' Meeting Round Robin Friday July 12 10:00 - 10:55 Boards 1-6 11:00 - 11:55 Boards 7-12 12:00 - 12:55 Boards 13-18 80 Minute Lunch Break 2:15 - 3:10 Boards 19-24 3:15 - 4:10 Boards 25-30 4:15 - 5:10 Boards 31-36 Funny 20 Minute Break 5:30 - 6:25 Boards 37-42 Sayings: 6:30 - 7:25 Boards 43-48 7:30 - 8:25 Boards 49-54 Saturday July 13 10:00 - 10:55 Boards 55-60 What’s another word for 11:00 - 11:55 ** Boards 61-66 ** Thesaurus? 12:00 - 12:55 ** Boards 67-72 ** 1:00 - 1:55 ** Boards 73-78 ** “Be nice to your children – they will be choosing your Quarter-Final & USA2 Round of 32 (click here for schedule) nursing home” Saturday July 13 4:00 - 6:10 Boards 1-15 6:20 - 8:30 Boards 16-30 The pessimist may be right in the long run, but the optimist has a better time 10:00 am - 12:10 pm Boards 1-15 12:20 - 2:30 Boards 16-30 during the trip.… 70 Minute Lunch Break Sunday July 14 3:40 - 5:50 Boards 31-45 6:00 - 8:10 Boards 46-60 Dear G-D please help me have patience and please make it quick!

As always, our goal is to provide information and to foster change for the better in a manner that is entertaining, instructive and stimulating. The ACBL Board of Directors is testing a new appeals process at NABCs in 1999 and 2000 in which a Committee (called a Panel) comprised of pre-selected top Directors will hear appeals at NABCs from non-NABC+ events (including side games, regional events and restricted NABC events). Appeals from NABC+ events will continue to be heard by the National Appeals Committees (NAC). We will review both types of cases as we always have traditional Committee cases. Panelists were sent all cases and invited to comment on and rate each Director ruling and Panel/Committee decision. Not every panelist will comment on every case.
