Mixed Pairs
The Mixed Pairs competition week two unfortunately had to be abandoned due to a
major
system crash on BBO and that is very bad luck on one pair who would have won, however
it gives the rest of us another week to win this coveted trophy.
Please remember this is the first time we have been effected by this and without
this service we would have no game at all.
It merely confirms the huge demands bridge players around the world are placing on this service
The event will be concluded next week when Ronan promises everything will run smoothly !!!
