ZHENGKUN ZHANG AND PHIL MARKEY A MODERN SHOW TIE FOR 1ST PLACE published the following statement on IN THE BIC SUPER FINAL Bridgewinners: This Friday afternoon, May 28th, at 12:20 PM EST, Rob Barrington and I will be doing a vugraph show for the final session of New ALT Event 5.

This broadcast will be different from typical vugraph as we will not be focusing on one table. It will act more like a golf broadcast. The idea will be to discuss the problems that might come up on a hand (sort of like a fly-over) and then jump from table to table to see how people handle them.

From the Bridge Base Online website: Some of you may remember a show from almost 10 years ago for the Buffett Cup. Winners of the ultimate confrontation between the three online Here is a link to that show: platforms that hosted the 2nd edition of the Bridge International https://tinyurl.com/cve5saw Gavin Wolpert Championship are now known. At the time of that broadcast, I had to set up two computers near As expected, the fight was close and we have not one, but two each other and use one to broadcast and the other to coordinate players sharing the gold medal: which table we were watching. A lot has changed in the past 10 Zhengkun Zhang, from China, years. Broadcasting software has come a long way, such that a representing the CBO team (6th in the CBO BIC) and show like this can be more fluidly put together on a single computer Phil Markey, from Australia, and produced at high resolution without any connection issues. for team BBO (also winner of the BBO BIC). The reason I chose the Buffett Cup was because multiple tables David Käser, from the Funbridge squad won silver, were playing the same hands at the same time, allowing us to table and bronze is again shared between jump. I had a thought recently that with ALT having all tables live Changchun Zheng from China and and open for vugraph, this is the perfect set up for us to try again. Zahari Zahariev from Bulgaria (winner of the first BBO BIC edition). This time we are going to gear the commentary to an intermediate audience, in an attempt to show that bridge can be broadcast to a The video commentary (English language) is available here: wider audience. https://youtu.be/jxqahr2LEeI The other thing missing from bridge broadcasts is the personality of the players. There are so many characters in high-level bridge that I thinkbroadcasting the people, not just the game itself could help UDAY IS BACK AT BBO! popularize the game. Last year Rob Barrington created an event called "Bridge Duels" which featured some top players and quite a Uday Ivatury is back at BBO as lot of personality.Here is a link to watch. If we can call the players Executive Vice President and CTO. from the ALT and bring them into our show we can possibly make an even better show. Uday, who is also playing in the OCBL events, said: "I know You can read the full post here: online bridge has become more https://tinyurl.com/3hmsy4vx prominent during the pandemic. From here, I think the future will bring some very interesting interactions between offline and online, and I want to be here to be part of it."

From the Bridge Base Online website: "With Uday’s help, BBO will continue to improve, both for existing players and newcomers. He’ll be central to developing innovative ways to connect, play and compete. His technical expertise and deep knowledge of the game will help make your game more accessible and engaging than ever before."
