Open

The open had a tough day against a couple of favoured teams, losing 9.09 to China, 4.62 to France, and losing 6,72 to Monaco, dropping them to 12th, but still close enough to recover.

Today they play India 15th, Chineses Taipai 13, and New Zealand 11th. The last match is on BBO for those who cannot sleep.

A reminder of Ben Thompson's reports on Bridge Winners.

 

Women

After starting with a 5.40 loss to Indonesia, they rebounded with wins against Canada by 14.80, and New Zealand by 19.16. This lifted them into 8th for the first time, the last of the qualifying spots.

Today they play Poland 5th, Egypt 13th, and Chinese Taipei 19th.

 

Seniors

After a bad loss to USA2 1.91 (which was all but over after the first 5 boards for those watching on BBO), they rebounded with wins over Argentina by 14.18, and New Zealand by 11.76, keeping them in 3rd place.

Today they play Guadaloupe 22nd, Japan 11th, and Israel 6th. Again the last match is on BBO for the sleepless.
