JEC wants to play the FORUM POSTERS every Saturday in October============ They feel
bad about having to cancel some of the dates they set last month preparing for Bali.



Come one come all and lets give them some competition. JEC prefers established partnerships because
they feel that provides them with better overall experience but do not hesitate to throw your name into
the ring if you have no regular partner. It may be quite possible another "single" wishes to play and you
two can practice. Our only win against JEC included partners that practiced only 4 times prior to the match.

you realize this is not like the grocery store where u stand in line with 1 item while your
partner shops for 45 items and you save their place right??? reservation means nothing
w/o commitment for all players involved and with so many recent (late) cancellations it
might be time to institute some sort of penalty for those cancelling more than once:))))))
When players see a date is taken they no longer try to schedule it so let's be fair to all
and ONLY reserve a spot if you are pretty sure you can make it:))))))))tytytytyty

If im not too active in the BBF, can i still participate in the BBF vs JEC match? I do have a partner(s) i play with regularly so that is not an issue although they are not active in BBF.

ALL posters are eligible and those with a regular partner are higher up on the seniority system than a single. I proposed an
idea that one has at least 100 posts before qualifying (I see you have 66) but there has never been any form of serious
discussion about the minimum requirements. Maybe this is a good time for some input from the rest of the forum posters
concerning any minimum number of posts to qualify (is 1 ok?) 50 100 300 who knows what is reasonable:)))))))))))))))))


As it stands now decie which week(s) you can play and make sure you give me both your and your partner(s) bbo names
and remember all these matches start at 2pm eastern and all on Saturday..............................

An established partnerships isn't going to do any better than a solo- it needs to be established team who are prepared to put in the hard yards.

12th and 26th Kristen33 and jillybean, availability confirmed.

My apologies for the late cancellation of the last game. It was a last minute change to
my daughters schedule and I couldn't let her down. She is the only reason that I would cancel a JEC game :)

& thank you for all the work you do to organize these matches for us. ;)))))

I've got a full team of four forum posters in two regular partnerships and would like to claim October 19th if possible. My team is:

awm - sieong
elianna - mbodell

We have lost to Cayne before, but our last attempt was quite some time ago and among the closer matches BBF has played.

partners together tatorcoup/columbo91 asensi/gszeszycki wish us all good
luck and make sure there is a team of paramedics standing by in case the
slaughter becomes too unbearable to watch:))))))))))

Checking with my pard for the 12th. Can't play the 26th because that's the unit NAP qualifier, dangit. Might could play the 19th if awm's team has a change of plans.

Well, I hope that was as entertaining as it was fun. :) We held the margin under 100. Nice surprise to have Garozzo in the mix!
