IT’S POST TIME FOR THE FINALS OF THE WBF EVENTS …

The finalists and playoffs for today (with Bobby’s candid commentary)

BERMUDA BOWL:   ITALY V. RUSSIA; NORWAY V. CHINA; BULGARIA V. GERMANY;   USA1 V. NETHERLANDS .  ACCORDING TO BOBBY:   These are the toughest eight teams to ever appear in a BB final and for his money all four matches represent what is best in bridge — with no sign of a weak player anywhere.

VENICE CUP:   CHINA V. SWEDEN; FRANCE V. ITALY; USA 1 V. SPAIN; USA 2 V. GERMANY.   Also all good match-ups and likely are very close (the best eight teams in the field).

D’ORSI SENIORS BOWL:   ENGLAND V. EGYPT; BELGIUM V. INDONESIA; POLAND V. SWEDEN; USA 1 V. USA 2.   Not for sure the best eight teams but certainly among the ten or twelve best ones and all very competitive.   To me this proves again just how accurate long round robin play actually delivers, reinforcing the old saying …. water seeks it own level.

This proves for the umpteenth time just how ridiculous early round straight K/O play really is!
