| Results Analysis |
You can see detailed results analysis on the website. Did you play well but were unlucky or played badly but had some luck? Click on 'Play it again' under a hand diagram and then on 'Results Analysis'. For help click here. Beware - somebody said that using Results Analysis is like eating Maltesers - once you start you can't stop...

We have now moved to a new release of Bridgewebs which has player performance graphs on the Personal Analysis page.

|
| Announce or Alert? |
We have all got used to 'announcing' the range of partners opening bid of 1NT. You might be less sure about 2NT: Opening bid of 2NT is announced "20 to 22" or appropriate range. Stayman (4 card) and transfers are announced the same way as after 1NT. 5-card stayman is alerted. All this is summarised in the EBU Announcing and Alerting table.

| Postcard from New York |
Having a wonderful trip. Yesterday we visited the 9/11 memorial. I found it too emotional at times. I couldn't visit one of the rooms. Alex took this picture of me taking a picture of a church which survived 9/11 and became the refuge of rescue services for tea, coffee and respite. Dietrich was taking a picture of the new Oculus building next to 9/11.
We have seen Hamilton on Broadway and today have Central Park buggy ride, champagne lunch for my birthday and Beautiful the musical tonight.

| Teams Results and Cross-imps |
Knock-out teams cross-imps have been updated to take into account change of direction during the session. To see how you performed as a pair in knock-out teams click on the Analysis above the ranking list for Knock-out teams. You will see a pairs ranking list showing cross-imps for each pair. If using Bridgewebs results index, there is now an XIMPS tab to see cross-imps.
In a multiple teams event you can see cross-imps the same way as before - click on the Analysis above the ranking list for multiple teams. You will see a pairs ranking list showing cross-imps for each pair. Alternatively click on Play it again under a hand diagram then Results Analysis - All Pairs.

| Teams |
From Thursday 28th April, the club is running some teams events.
The idea is that there will be a multiple teams movement - similar to the one used for a pairs movement, except that the scoring is slightly different and that players play in teams-of-four. If you would like to try the multiple teams, please try to form your team, or let Derek know that you are interested and he will help.
In addition, a knock-out teams event will be started too. People wishing to play in this, please form your teams and let Derek know so that you can be included in the draw. Again, if you are looking for team-mates, speak to Derek - he might be able to help. More specifically, the format of this event will be that a team will not be eliminated until it has been defeated three times (depending on the number of teams participating, three might become two!) and, in each round, a team will meet another that has lost the same number of matches. In this way, teams should be playing other teams of similar standard.
It is anticipated that teams' nights will be held on the last Thursday of each month, with the knock-out event progressing and a multiple teams being available for those who wish to play teams but are not in the knock-out.
