I remember at a Regional in Redding in 1984 Ron “hog” Anderson was talking with another pro and the Hog said Barry isn't any good he doesn't know what he is doing….LOL

thats what the comment about travel pertains too, some teams didnt compete because at one time everything was Portland centered. thats why parts of Norcal left the district. I am not beating up on D20 just stating that even with online ability which means no travel the event isnt getting larger but smaller. oh and by the way My dad was District president for some of those years.
I would have thought with online play the game finals would increase but it didnt.
Somewhere along the way, BBO quit giving up the database to Steve. He also had the data for OK Bridge….but there was alot of GIGO…(garbage In garbage out).
As far a limiting to particular events, I always tried to talk to him about coming up with a package for the blue ribbon pairs. Believe me you dont want ordinary BBO events.

Scott: i sort of ran a sim on this about 7 yrs ago. but it was with a strong NT. The strong NT had a 4-4 in one major and the the other was 4333. What I remember is that as we went up in total points between the two, Playing in NT vs a major def was better…we arent talking about 15 opposite 10(25)….but as the two got closer to about 28+ points.

my biochemistry teacher in 1974 talked about vitamins, he said unless you have an unhealthy diet you shouldnt need vitamin supplements……he said you might as well flush money down the toilet….thats where the excess goes.

I still prefer the original version over the web based versions and the new html5 version.
