[inquiry]

So far:

Phil has challenged the scoring on Board 4. This will not affect the goodwin/TylerE-bidemup race, as they both reached the same contract.

Bid_em_up has suggested he was only in 6C, not 7C on board 7. That dramatically reduces his score and thus increases the lead of the Goodwins lead by an additional six points (from the following you an see how close it was before the board 7 correction).

102 Goodwins
94 TylerE-bidemup
92 gnasher-catch22
86 East4Evil-sohcahtoa

There is still time to suggest changes to the scores on the hands, lets say by Sunday night.

How many zeroes do I need to put on the check I send you for our extra 20 MP?

[JLOGIC]

Ideally I'd like to bid the next set of hands before Orlando starts, I am moving to Vegas right after that and dec/jan is really busy for me. So if bidding on mon/tues/wed is possible, that would be cool. Will check the forums occasionally to see if this is possible. Thanks.

When will you be able to bid Round 6?

[han]

Round 6? Doesn't that come after round 5?

[MrGoodwin]

Notice that Tim didn't suggest that he expected to be around for a hypothetical Round 6 . . . .

Who cares since we're gonna whoop you in round 5 obv

[MrGoodwin]

It might be fun (for the four of us left) to bid Round 5 simultaneously. Is that something that can be managed/arranged?

Trash talk... good....

Bidding at same time seems interesting.... you guys talk among yourself and pick a time.

I can bid Round 5 Monday or Wednesday evening east coast US time. Actually could start either day around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

We could do Round 5 on Monday and Round 6 on Wednesday if inquiry has all the hands ready.

I will bid whenever Han is available until the nationals since he is in Europe. Usually we bid early in the morning US time/afternoon in Europe when I am still awake I think.

I don't think it's that important for us to bid at the same time since it restricts us further on time when it's already a problem getting someone to host and getting han and I on at the same time, but if it works out and people want to I obv have no problem with it.

Not really in favor of bidding 2 sets at one time though even if it's possible, Han is really slow and tries hard so it will take too long JK Han, but I know that I will bid the second set badly from boredom and we might get tired. If it's fine to wait till after the nationals for set 6 if it comes to it then I will make time.

Thanks Ben for all your hard work with this, and also to paulg and hanoi and whoever else has been a host (I just say those 2 since they have hosted for us so I know about them, didn't mean to exclude any other hosts that I don't know about).

[han]

Who on earth is Phantomsac?

I could bid next week on Saturday morning if that would work for jlall.

[han]

The plan is to bid Tuesday night 2 AM Central Time, Wednesday morning 9 AM Dutch time, 8 AM British time. Paul, would you perhaps be able to host?

Are the hands ready by the way?

I have 13 hands so far. Will add three more tonight. Of course if anyone has interesting ones they can send them to me here in the forum (private message, of course). They will be ready for that time.... just 2AM central, I am pretty sure I will be asleep.

Clee is always up at that time, maybe he could do it if Paul cannot.

I'm starting to feel glad that we didn't make it.

[han]

Ben, if you send the hands to gnasher, perhaps he can host us.
