NUS Trials on 16th, 20th Jan @NUS MPSH4

Hi,

There will be trials for the upcoming Interclub League 2009 in March (stretches till October 2009). The dates are as follows:

Dates: 16th, 20th Jan (Timing TBC.. most likely evening) (Note that scores will only be released after both sessions are completed)
Venue: MPSH 4

I will not be selecting individuals, or rather, a pair of players. (Example: If you're selected, your partner will also be selected) Depending on the number of players, I will choose between 12-16 to play for NUS Team A and Team B (6-8 players each). The rest will be Team C. These players will be undergoing COMPULSORY trainings by our newly hired coach-cum-alumni, Mr. Zhang Yukun. Those who are not selected are invited to join the training. :)

The selection is done based on the average results of both duplicates. On the basis that you cannot attend one of them, the average results of the session's duplicates will be given as your score. Those who can't make it for both sessions, unless you have a very valid reason not to come, then I will deal with it case-by-case.From now, please find a partner and START TRAINING!

Anything problems do look for me or you can email me at nuscontractbridge@gmail.com

Thanks.

Regards,
Hanxing

Joke of the Week

Exams is ending soon! Hang in there!

A contestant in a tournament suddenly slumped down in his chair. A doctor was hastily summoned. He took the stricken man's pulse and noted that it was steady and firm. Obviously it was no heart attack.

From the victim's white face and clammy hands the doctor surmised that this was a case of shock. A bridge player himself, he picked up the victim's cards and studied them. He then turned to the others at the table.

"Now let me have a review of the bidding," he requested.
