icycookie vs gordontd
broze vs smerriman
As usual, 4x16 challenges. Let's aim for a week for the semifinals, and a week for the final.
zzmiy has been disqualified and will be banned from the next challenge event. After round 2 started, he played no less than 12 16-board IMP challenges against GIB, losing 10, tieing 1, and winning 1; the score reported in this thread (the 11th of the 12 challenges played, date-wise) was the one winning score.
Have sent a PM asking for an explanation, but I can't imagine any that would overturn this decision.

(could now understand gwnn earlier comments 1on1 challenge are more personal/exciting)

I know! Got some bad breaks in the slam but missed a trump surrogate play I should have seen. Smerriman takes the last set so good luch in the final.

This is message #209 from previous tournament thread. I liked the new policy, even if nobody said it's the new policy
 
  
 However, I didn't manage to find the corresponding post in this thread. Since I was absent for a certain period, maybe I should ask whether it's my blindness, or early abandonment of the policy...
 
 (Not going to wine, the very participation in such luxurious tournament is worth at least BB$100. I'm just a bit curious...)

I think we did that because GIB was in the semis of that event, to subsidize paying for advanced bots.

It was a combination of sponsoring GIB and well done gift (upgrading GIB in challenge is 25 cents). We'll do it again
