Rationale for this Project


General Status
  1. I had settled down to playing with David Piper at Mayflower on a Tuesday and alternating between Robert Elliott and my long-standing – not to say long-suffering – partner David Tennet at Mountnessing on a Thursday (DT and I had reverted to the ‘Strong Diamond’ system, which we enjoy). I have occasionally play with Colin Scott or Graham Beeton when DT is unavailable. I’d also started to return to ECBA events.
  2. Statistics: by partner and club-category can be obtained by following these links – for the last quarter and to date.
  3. Results: Follow this link. Further information can be found from my Bridge Page6.
  4. Master Points:
    • 37,5297, bagged to date, including 1,298 Blue Points and 107.39 Green Points.
    • That makes me a National Master. My next milestone8 will be to achieve Premier National Master status (40,000 LPs, including 100 GPs) – so comfortably there as far as GPs are concerned, but still a long way to go for local points.
  5. EBU Grading:
    • I bobbled around a bit this quarter, but ended up a mid-Q.
    • See EBU: NGS for full details of the scheme, and previous Status Reports and my Summary of Progress to Date9 for my detailed meanderings over time.
  6. Summary of Progress to Date: I’ve hived off the history to a Summary of Progress to Date10 document, which is in need of a minor update. I’ll probably only update it once a year unless there’s an exciting development.
  7. Further Details: of time expenditure against task are given below, extracted from the relevant version of my Summary Task List11 (which is regularly updated between Quarterly Status Reports) and YTD here12..

Summary of Progress during July - September 2023
  1. I spent 126.25 hours in 23Q3 on this Project, or related work (748.75 hours YTD, where for "YTD" - Year to Date - I mean the (academic) year that commenced in October 2022). That's 74.7% of the planned effort (119.8% YTD). Overall, 19.3% of my Project effort in the Quarter was directed towards this project (making 28.9% YTD) - as against 25.5% planned (23.1% YTD).
  2. As can be seen, I was 25% down for the Quarter, but 20% over for the Year. As I stopped playing at the end of July, the quarterly time was inflated by administrative work winding up the Mountnessing Club.
  3. Significant Events in 23Q3:
    1. ECBA Handicap Pairs (Sunday 9th July 2023): with David Piper. Disaster – came bottom after the handicap, and not much better before.
    2. ECBA Club Pairs (Sunday 16th July 2023): with David Piper. For Mountnessing; with the Vedes as the second pair. Satisfactory. The team won, in a weak field.
