SAO PAULO – DAY THREE
For those of you who don’t have access to the standings, this is what the top eight look like at the end of six matches:
BERMUDA BOWL: NORWAY, BULGARIA, NETHERLANDS, CHINA LONG AHU OPEN, ARGENTINA, ITALY, USA2, GERMANY
VENICE CUP: USA I, CHINA LONG AHU WOMEN/FRANCE, I TALY, USA 2, EGYPT, DENMARK, GERMANY
D’ORSI SENIORS: ENGLAND, EGYPT, POLAND/USA2, PAKISTAN, INDONESIA, BELGIUM, USA I
There’s a long way to go, but the magic number is EIGHT. Finish below and you are history.
Bobby sat off the third session (that is when our team blitzed Uruguay) and we had the pleasure of watching the vugraph together (USA2 V. NORWAY/24-22), featuring commentators Barry Rigal and Philip Alder and other gentlemen I did not know. The theatre is magnificent and the screens constantly flashed the up-to-the-minute standings of the other two Cups to keep us abreast of the scores as we went along. The WBF Organization is managed so professionally it is hard to describe. You must witness it with your own eyes.
We are here only four days and I can tell you it is exhausting. Time to catch a catnap before Round 7 begins at 11 a.m. this morning. It seems never-ending and has truly just begun.

Judy, I enjoy reading your commentary and giving us a bit of the color. Thanks.
Thanks Al: Sometimes I wonder if I am writing to see my own words because so few respond.
However, as you can see, very little deters me and I tell it like it is. I can bring you up to date in the Seniors as of the first match this morning. Bobby’s team (Morse) beat Australia by a bit and the other US Seniors Team (Lynch) got crucified by Brazil, but we are both still hanging in — in the top eight — which is what it takes to qualify after you play the other 21 teams. They are now playing Match 8. I’ll have today’s top eight in each category tomorrow morning. EIGHT IS THE MAGIC NUMBER.
Regards,
Judy
Judy,
It’s my weekly visit and I AM reading your words. No stopping. Nope. Not at all.
