nt|moonbeam42: I would guess so|pg||
pc|s3|nt|Vugraphzff: South's action on the 2nd round of the bidding should be "double" takeout |pg||
nt|harlan: I agree completely, JoAnna|pg||
pc|sA|pc|s2|pc|s7|pg||
pc|sK|nt|harlan: It is possible there will not be a final segment.   But, I watched the Rizzo team come back from 40-0.  So They may well play it out and hope for a come back, too|pg||

pc|s4|pc|s8|pc|h2|nt|vdoubleu: Well, I happened to peek ahead (at Brd 31) and...|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: Yes, I think the differential would have to be greater.  Although the last board of this segment is exciting, too.  We'll see what happens|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Agree, potential|pg||
pc|sQ|pg||
nt|harlan: this helps declare.  with a 2-suits hands. leading a trump is usually the best|pg||

mb|2D!|an|Mini Roman, any 4441|nt|harlan: South will open 2D to show short @D|pg||
nt|harlan: ok Mini-Roman vs standard precision|pg||
mb|p|nt|moonbeam42: on any lead but a @d|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: (That's what I meant) But , in fairness, openening leader was not unreasonable..|pg||
mb|2S!|mb|p|nt|vdoubleu: 'Tho I wld have led a heart|pg||
mb|p|nt|harlan: I doubt E-W will go quitely.|pg||
nt|Vugraphzff: do n-s play weak 2@D bid....it looks like one to me|pg||
nt|harlan: no The opening leader went passive.  I too am a more agressive leader usually|pg||
mb|3D|mb|d|mb|p|nt|harlan: it looks like an opening bid to me  LOL|pg||
nt|harlan: sorry N-S are Polish CLub, sorry all!|pg||
mb|3S|nt|vdoubleu: So another 10 IMPs here|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: 9|pg||
nt|harlan: Raina made a good decision.  A winning Decision.  But will still lose imps|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Yes|pg||
mb|p|nt|harlan: 7 loser ocunt.  makes the rule of 20|pg||
nt|harlan: count*|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: lol, I'm in the opening camp, but I play precision, so everything is an opener to me :)|pg||
nt|Vugraphzff: this will be 11 imps to Rizzo, making the difference in the match a mere 2 imps|pg||

nt|vdoubleu: I wld have bid a direct 4@s w/the N hand|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: I dont think it's close|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: Sometimes blasting can work.  We saw that last night when Kaplan played Rizzo.  Kaplan blased to 6@c and the defense had to take their two aces with no info.  |pg||
nt|vdoubleu: You eiter make it or not &...as we saw in OR...sometimes D, or lead, isn't perfect|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Yes, we saw that Jenni|pg||
nt|harlan: it worked here, too!  at the other table|pg||
nt|Vugraphzff: and 4@S can be a good save on another day -- the AKJxx of diamonds didnt have to be opp a singleton|pg||
pc|d5|nt|vdoubleu: They had no idea which other A wld cash|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Poor partner looking at 65 of diamojnds when opening leader led the Diamond A|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Trying to signal furiously with his lowly 6|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: Thanks everyone.  Looking forward to the final segment!|pg||

nt|Vugraphzff: last board of this set,   match will resume with 32 more boards after a 1 hour break|pg||
mb|1C!|nt|moonbeam42: Very exciting :)|pg||
nt|harlan: I call this kind of hand (as declare) "Harlan Proof"  bidding it is the problem, ofc|pg||
mb|2S|mb|p!|an|penalty pass|nt|harlan: Not vul, I would expect N-S to keep bidding over any noise from E-W|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: The minors bid should certainly slow down north.  It did in the open room|pg||
nt|Vugraphzff: I dont see a game N-S....the uneven red suit divisions ought to scuttle 4@H|pg||
mb|p|nt|harlan: This is the last board.  We need to thank so many people who made this broadcast happen.|pg||
nt|harlan: It is wonderful that the Jr events are on VuGraph, also.|pg||

pc|dT|pc|dJ|pc|dA|pc|d2|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: hmm, or not.  Looks like Rizzo will likely be in the lead heading into the second segment|pg||
nt|harlan: Well placed K@C, singleton @D, 4 @hs, and an ace to add to it.  I would bid 4H with the south hand.  That is how silly I can be!|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Maybe he was napping:)|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: West is very conservative at these colors|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Hmmm|pg||
nt|moonbeam42: Perhaps he wanted more shape|pg||
nt|harlan: yes,  but south missed a chance to cue bid.   I am not sure why the simple 5C bid|pg||
pc|d4|nt|Vugraphzff: spade led gives nothing away|pg||
pc|dK|nt|vdoubleu: Well, yes, who wldn't want more shape, but life aint always perfect.|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: You have to bid the hands you are dealt|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Missed a 4@d bid, right Harlan|pg||
pc|d6|nt|harlan: this is sad, to get a great hand like souths and not even move to slam|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: It was free for her to bid 4@d|pg||
nt|vdoubleu: Totally agree|pg||
pc|d3|pg||
nt|harlan: Congrtulations to the Rizzo Team who will be USA2 in Philly next fall.|pg||
nt|Vugraphzff: Thanks everyone for tuning in, was quite a show, many congratulations to the Rizzo team, and best of luck to them and all of our junior teams in Philadelphia|pg||
