Live from Shangai !

I have arrived at Shangai for 2 days and the pressure starts to go up.
This year I decided to try to make a blog on the championships and I would try to bring up to date it as often as possible… there will be videos and many pictures because unfortunately it will be exclusively in French….
Concerning the organization of Vugraph, we move towards a formula which would be: 3 matches/rounds
the matches would be:
1) the official match on the site
2) a match which I can choose
3) a match which “would be bought” by a country which would like to broadcast his match
we does not control the 1) nor the 3) ..... and I propose a poll through this forum to decide the 2)
nevertheless the 3) will be from time to time free if no team “buys” a broadcast….
I would answer of course all your questions about Vugraph as soon as I would have a little time….
First 3 Matches are : China vs Argentina
USA1 vs USA2
Norway vs Sweden
While waiting do not hesitate to go to visit my blog… either to learn French….or try to recognize friends at the venue.

See you Folks !

Since we can't know about 1) and 3), I am going to offer three matches as "ours" (2) for each round from 2-21. Some of the official matches will likely be from the Venice Cup (women), so I have not chosen any from the VC as 2). All matches below are from the Bermuda Bowl. Please select:

Lol, I studied it for only four years (Danish system) so I will give it a go. Some French bridge terminology is useful on BBO anyway.

Perhaps some teams may want to "buy" out of being broadcasted

I think it's fair to say that we are rendering a great service first up by offering expert commentary in English, French, Chinese, mixed Scandinavian and Indonesian (for the first time).
We will likely be able to add Italian, Spanish and Polish later in the tournament.

Last minute change to our schedule in round 1. No Norway v Sweden. The match will be replaced by
New Zealand v Brazil
Sorry for the inconvenience. Beyond our control.

May we assume that live scores will be available from all the matches?

It is more difficult than usual because of the time difference and also because
files tend to get corrupted with funny characters and they need an extra
vetting which is done manually and is very time-consuming.
For the moment (as round 2 is coming to close) Round 1 is up:

Live scores seem to be up at:
swan games
with all the matches updating board by board mid round, and the leaderboard updating as well board by board.

We may, but nobody dares mention the name of the provider.
The are some links to the provider in question at http://www.ecatsbrid...nghai/links.asp
I ♦ bidding the suit below the suit I'm actually showing not to be described as a "transfer" for the benefit of people unfamiliar with the concept of a transfer
