1. Very bad defending – possible the worst in a year or so.
2. Not so good moments in bidding as well.
3. Surprisingly slightly better than usual declarer play.
4. Directing a Friday evening session and a Saturday morning session, then playing in a 4-man team for the rest of the weekend is a pretty bad idea.
5. That aside, other than the last round, we didn’t get trashed badly in any of the 8 board matches at all, despite facing some of the stronger teams in the field.
