The unusually high number of players made for some awkward scoring. Nine pairs had to sit out a round, while two played every round. And each pair had one or two other pairs who they didn't get to play. The result was that sores had to be adjusted: our score of 47 points was adjusted to 52.88 to adjust for us having to sit out a round.
In our 24 hands, there were only 3 games bid and made, 8 part scores bid and made, and 13 sets. Here are the specifics.
Board 1. We went down 2 at 3H doubled, for bottom board.
Board 2. We got top board as our opponents stopped at 3S, while the other opponent pairs all bid and made 4.
