AFTER 9 MATCHES — AT WBF CHAMPIONSHIP

Here are the top eight contenders in each category before we go into Match 10 (out of  21):

BERMUDA BOWL:    NORWAY, BULGARIA, ITALY, NETHERLANDS, ARGENTINA/CHINA LONG ZHU OPEN; USA 2; RUSSIA

VENICE CUP:           CHINA LONG ZHU WOMEN, USA 1, ITALY, USA 2, EGYPT, FRANCE, DENMARK, INDONESIA

D’ORSI SENIOR CUP  ENGLAND, EGYPT, BELGIUM, USA  2, POLAND/USA 1, PAKISATAN, INDONESIA

No one has pulled away, although England in the Seniors has a 20 point lead on Egypt.   The others are reasonably close and lots of teams are in contention and we have not even reached the half way mark.

Even as a kibizer, it is grueling so you can imagine the exhaustive schedule of the players.  I feel like I am on a roller coaster.   Getting too old for this stuff but it is so engrained in me — it’s hard to stop.  Till Day 5!
