Philly Twitters and BBO Vugraph starts today (Tuesday)

There were various requests of twitter to know about the Vugraph schedule.  I was surprised to see it starts TODAY 2PM EST with Round 2 and Round 3 of the Rosenblum tea,s..  Check here for the schedule of BBO broadcasts.  Woohoo.

I thought it would be interested to check out some current twitters about the bridge World Championships.  These are mostly non-bridge players.  Some don’t represent the kind of thinking we would like…

2_normal BaconEggnChase: Geriatric groupies galore! Better put my mommom on lockdown…      RT@PhillyInquirer: World Bridge Series Championship comes to Philadelphia

Then perhaps some sour grapes AliciaTerrance: World Bridge Series Championship comes to Philadelphia: The choice came down to Las Vegas and Philadelphia. “Truth…

The Philly tourist industry is happy though

4PhillyJobs: World Bridge Series Championship comes to Philadelphia More than 4,000 bridge players from the United State

and they wonder how you can make money are bridge…

mailtohayden: World Bridge Series Championship comes to Philadelphia: Some will be paid to play by sponsors, but in large-scale …

and don’t miss BRIDGE TOUR (JADE BARRETT)  twittering from the World Championships.  You can also see his twitters on the facebook page:  Here is some of the news:

In a couple of twitters they gave us the news about Laurie Kraynak

Sadly, Laurie required surgery this morning, preventing John and her from competing further in the World Mixed Pairs. They were leading the event after two sessions when Laurie took ill.

We visited tonight after Anne and Jade had a 3/4 overall (tied with Karen and Ellis, of course) in the pair game and a 2nd overall in the BAM at the regional. Laurie is looking well and is expected to remain at Jefferson Hospital for 2 weeks of rehab.

Another bridge Tweeter is TREBOEF.  He is picking up a lot of bridge tweets from other sources on his ABOUT PHILLY section and was just itching to see vugraph.

Some folks en route…

ashekhter: So, it’s 5 pm and I am on my way to Philly. Our team has registered for Main event in World Bridge Series which starts tomorrow 10:30am.

Jenny’s tournament is over it appears..  If you want an almost minute by minute story of her tournament …

@tresboof actually. I wish I could be in Philly but work did not allow it. So I must live vicariously through tweets and blogs….and VUGRAPH!
