Israel Meets YOI in the NEC Cup Final Saturday, February 11, 2006 Bulletin Number 5 Editors: Eric Kokish, Richard Colker Israel Meets YOI in the NEC Cup Final The higher qualifying team breezed through each of the quarter-final matches, the closest displaying a 33-IMP margin of victory. Everything did not, however, adhere to form in the semi-finals. While Israel, the defenders and higher-qualifying team, prevailed over a strong USA/Kasle contingent, YOI, the home-town favorites but the lower-qualifying team, showed the heavily-favored Italian juggernaut the way to the Yokohama Swiss. YOI won both halves of the match, and finished with a 43-IMP win. Thanks to all the quarter- and semi-finalists for four exciting sessions of bridge, and good luck to the two finalists today, Israel and YOI, in their 64-board quest for the 2006 NEC Cup. Quarter- and semi- finalist team rosters can be found on page 18.

Founded in 1975, the thrust of the Forum’s work is to help develop cooperative policies in the Asia- Pacific region through debate and analyses undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic/business, and oceans policy issues. It collaborates with a network of more than 30 research institutes around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating its projects’ findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and publics throughout the region. An international Board of Governors guides the Pacific Forum’s work; it is chaired by Brent Scowcroft, former Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The Forum is funded by grants from foundations, corporations, individuals, and governments, the latter providing a small percentage of the forum’s $1.2 million annual budget. The Forum’s studies are objective and nonpartisan and it does not engage in classified or proprietary work.
