Help
Wagar has arrived at the final stage and we havent seen any of it........
McConnell wasnt shown from Verona at all..........
who decides what we see? can somebody please tell whoever it is that there are a lot of women players out there who would be very interested to see this? and maybe some men would too!

Disa is playing on vugraph right now...
I believe that Rose Meltzer's team is still in it as well.
Given the choice between watching an Open Event where anyone is elgible to compete and a restricted event that is limited to Women or Seniors (or whomever), I'd prefer to watch the open event.

hmmm, it had to happen some day I guess: I agree with Richard!!
Anyway, BBO does *not* decide which matches are shown on vugraph, but I am often asked for advice. I have been too this time around. Regarding the Wagar Final I have suggested that we get one segment, the 3rd, or the 1st after dinner if you like.
No promises, there is no confirmation yet. It may not be technically possible since the women are playing in a different wing of the hotel far away from the open series area.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

Anyway, we got one segment. Two were planned, but one team conceded after the 3rd quarter.

Anyone think that the Wagar is likely to be discontinued within a couple of years? Entries have been steadily declining, and less than 30 teams entered this year. Many of the women apparently prefer playing against the "big boys", and maybe some have switched over to the Mini-Spingolds.

Maybe it is time for an Australian-style tournament - 3 days swiss qualifying, then 2 days KO's for the women's and mini events, 4 days KO for the main event.
And thanks to BBO - lets us see how tournaments are run round the world.
