X-Clubs Team Scores NZ-Wide Pairs in Record Time

It's Official!! All results for 962 pairs are now in.

The first cut of results for 33 of the 55 clubs taking part in the 2014 Babich NZ-Wide Pairs appeared within two hours of the end of play. As more results came in the total rose to 45 clubs by 1:30am at which time The Team decided it was time to call it a day. We had results for 834 pairs posted at that time.

This exercise has been quite a step up for all involved and a huge feather in the cap of Bob Fearn who has developed this powerful new facility. A previous trial run came along in May with the scoring of the Youth Fundraiser when 363 pairs from 25 clubs took part. Thanks, too, to Milan Durovic of Sydney for his generosity in providing this site free of charge to the bridge players of New Zealand. Milan has had to deal with our stretching the boundaries of his system but it coped magnificently with just one teensy outage on the Saturday afternoon.

PS - on the (as yet) smaller scale of 50 to 200 pairs, X-Clubs provides this service for free nine times a week. It would be ten times a week if anybody played on Friday nights. If your club is not yet part of it, there's plenty of room for you - the more the merrier.
