We entered the 0 - 5000 MP Spingold with a pair from Israel (Granddad and grandson, 17 who is being mentored for the Junior Israel Team). We lost by 7 imps and someone on the team doubled 2H for -470 and 8 imp loss. This is a BIG NO-NO!
In a Regional KO we were 2nd and then faded in Pairs on Saturday and headed home after a week at the alternate hotel for $99 a night plus entry fees paid by relocating.
We used C Cubed (Copious Canape Club) with 2 new ideas:
(1) 1C - 1NT = (a) 8+ hcp & GF 5-4 or better in the majors, or (b) 4=4=4=1 or 4=4=1=4
(2) 1C - 2C = (a) 8+ hcp & GF with one or both minors, or (b) 1=4=4=4 or 4=1=4=4

Raleigh Super Bowl Sectional - January 2009
After a warm up pairs game on Thursday evening, we did well with Ultra (Keylime & PrecisionL):
1st Open Pairs w 65% (winning 12 Silver MP)
1st KO I winning 10 Silver MP (leading at half of semi-final KO 61-0)
8th Swiss - We faded the last two rounds (another 2 SMP).
Slam bidding on Thursday was only 50%, much better the rest of the Sectional.
