Thank you all for playing today! It was fun and welcome to the new players!
Notes about today's result:
  • A couple of new players' names didn't get into the computer. We apologize for that!
  • Board 2's record is for board 3's result; and board 3's record is for board 2's result.
  • Board 6, pair 6 NS vs. pair 3 EW. The contract was entered wrong. The correct contract was 4S by E making 5.
