I will no doubt be doing some commentary. I will watch for sure. Yesterday I thought I was getting carpal tunnel syndrome I had been at the keyboard so much.
First let’s look at some of the winners who are going to be continuing on today. For the full list read Friday’s Bullein
In the Open Event
GROUP A
| Rank | VP | Team |
| 1 | 166 |  Zimmermann |
| 2 | 163 |  Coldea |
| 3 | 159 |  Consus Red Poland |
| 4 | 137.25 |  Bramley |
The leader Zimmermann is not surprise with
| Zimmermann |
| HELGEMO Geir |
| FANTONI Fulvio |
| HELNESS Tor |
| MULTON Franck |
| NUNES Claudio |
| ZIMMERMANN Pierre |
But I wasn’t too familiar with second place:
| Coldea |
| TEODORESCU Cornel |
| COLDEA Ionut |
| IONITA Marius |
| ROTARU Iulian |
| ISTRATE Vasile |
In this division most of the battle was for that last spot and fifth place Payen was only 2.25 VP behind. They lost their last match to Zimmermann narrowly after Bramley had lost to Coldea giving them an opening.
The winner of Division B is one of the pre-tournament favorites:
| Rank | VP | Team |
| 1 | 166 | Nickell |
| 2 | 152 | Berg |
| 3 | 147 |  Zen |
| 4 | 142 |  Rossard |
| 5 | 138 |  Lagoudinoi |
| 138 | Pauncz |
|
| 7 | 125 | Sher |
| 8 | 122 | Onix |
| 9 | 111 |  GIB |
| Nickell |

| KOKISH Eric O. (Coach) |
| KATZ Ralph |

Second place went to Berg
| Berg |
| BERTENS Huub |
| MULLER Bauke |
| MOHAN John |
| BAKKEREN Ton |
| BERG Mary Ann |
| WIJS Simon de |
Lagoudinoi and Rossard were tied after eight rounds. Rossard had a bye in the last round which nets you 18 VP so Lagoudinoi knew what they had to do. But they lost their last round match to Sher.
Division C had two strong teams who finished one two and it was a real dogfight for the remaining qualifying spots.
| Rank | VP | Team |
| 1 | 179 |  Auken |

I have some friends on this team and I do wish them well.

In Division E the bloggers! (well one of them) The British Lions finished a clear first. But then it was an amazing battle of 4 teams for 3 spots. Poor Bernardes missed out by .04 of a VP. (I am not sure how that happened did somebody sneeze too many times). Koneru has a lot of my firends on it too so I am glad they made it. And it is a surprise to see Mahaffey who was likely the number one seed in such a battle. Go Lions!

In Division G once again the decision fourth the fourth spot was made on .24 VP. Schwartz let out a sigh of relief no doubt when they made it despite a narrow loss to the OZ Juniors in the last round. Hungary had a bye so they knew what they had to do. I wonder if they check their calculators twice when they added up the imp scores and converted the result to VP.

Three teams dominated Division H and it seemed like one of the others just had to be awarded a qualifying spot. 134 was I believe the lowest qualifying score in the event and oddly it was well above fifth place. Probably the more interesting race in this Division was who would finish 1 or 2 or 3. Team Pharmaservice blitzed their last round match against Strasser. With the other two top teams playing each other a narrow win by Joseph and the Cards (16-14) was not enough to remove Strul from the top spot.

In Division H Deutsch dominated. Canada who had been office to such a good start was struggling. Their last round match against fifth place Wang Dade would be decisive. Fortunately they could afford a small loss (13-17) and still qualify. The third place South African team with my friend Glen Holman included has done well previously in world champioships.

Going into the last round Zambonini was clearly in the lead but the other three spots were in doubt. JapCan who were in fourth place at the time by 1VP over Hauge had what was likely an easy match against last place Ecuador while Hauge and Kamras played each other and Nadar played the leaders. When Hauge lost big to Kamras they were the odd man out. Nadar Hanna, CBF President was on the fourth place team playing with Canadian Robert Lebi.

In Division N (will this never end) the top two teams dominated. Meltzer lost their last match to the leader but had a good enough lead not to be troubled. Hughes had a near blitz against Derrico to hang onto fourth place against a surging Delmonte who blitzed Argentina U26. The last place team did not play (Noname) did not exist and represented a second bye for the teams. Allfrey includes MPP author (and Bulletin editor) Brian Senior. MPP author (and friend) Alan Sontag is on Meltzer. The four man Hughes team are all friends and include MPP author Roy Hughes.

Division Q (for finally done) pretty well had the top four spots locked up after the eight round and the battle was amongst the top three for finishing order. Gordon and Green Machine were playing and a 17-13 win by Green Machine was a fraction (.09!) too little to take over second spot. With some friends on the Carmichael team I am glad to see they qualified.

In Division S it was a battle going into the final round of 15. After 14 rounds the top 10 teams had a shot at the top 8 positions. The top 4 were a lock and the fifth place team at the time China Ladies Team was very likely to make it. 6th and 7th were in a virtual tie at 225 with the next three teams between 213 and 215. So lots was at stake. So who would lose out. Mercosul played Canada and managed 13 VP against a team that had been struggling. That was not enough and they dropped from sixth to ninth place missing out by .34 VP. Bloom who had been in tenth spot tied the China Ladies Team which was not enough to move up.

The Lions did not win Group E as easily as it might appear in the final table. After six boards of the final match the score was 0-29 imps and we were in a tie for fourth place. Scoring 19 imps in the last three boards gave us a 14-16 VP loss but sufficient for the group title.
Amazingly the Belgian team that beat us were undefeated in the round-robin, and still needed a split tie. They had drawn their match with the South Americans (31-31 imps) so I presume they used another formula to calculate the final qualifier.
Suffice to say that they were very happy, eventually.
