3rd Match . Our team continued it's 100% winning start to the season with a hard fought 12 - 8 victory away at Keighley yesterday. After the usual quite stressful journey there we started slowly and trailed 37 Imps to 32 Imps after the first 8 board stanza. Boards 9 - 16 saw us score 21 Imps to Keighley's 15 Imps meaning we led by just 1 IMP at the half time interval. Stanza 3 boards 17 - 24 was quite eventful seeing individual scores of 1700 and 1400 being registered - one for each team - and at the end of that Keighley shaded it by 28 Imps to 27 Imps to make the match all square at 80 all going into the final stanza. Boards 25 - 32 saw the majority of the points in the hands of East/West with virtually all the contracts being played that way and, thanks to good play by EW and great defence by NS, we won that stanza by 26 Imps to 11 Imps to run out winners by 106 to 91. Despite our 3 consecutive victories we only currently sit 3rd in division 4 as league positions are based on average points gained per game and some teams have only played 1 game so far. Our next game is on Sunday 20 November at home to Wensleydale who are currently top of the division and also unbeaten. |

Well played everyone with wins in all three Yorkshire League matches of the season so far. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to our team on another fine victory today in a closely contested match at Wetherby. After taking an early lead in the first stanza Team Barnsley found themselves trailing at the half time break. However strong performances in the third and fourth stanza's saw Team Barnsley prevail at the end and maintain their unbeaten start to this season. 12-8 victory. Well done everyone 👏
As a player, Pianola gives you an insight into your performance to help you improve your game. It gives a personal results history plotted on a graph with your current average calculated automatically. It also provides a performance analysis with different partners and in each role whether declarer, defender or even dummy.
As soon as the results and hands are uploaded, you will receive automatically an email with your final score, ranking and a breakdown of your performance. Each pair has a personal scorecard showing a full breakdown of performance on each board. There is also a page by page analysis of each board, showing optimum makeable contracts, your ranking on this board and details of contracts bid and made (or lost) by other players. A further page shows the hands on each board.
This is a set of additional tools that will help you improve your game. Detailed information about your strengths and weaknesses is shown and you can replay any hand with card - by- card guidance.
You can try Pianola Plus FREE of charge for 30 days with no obligation to buy and no credit card requirement up front. After the trial the charge is £5 pcm or £42 pa.
Pianola Play is an ONLINE session only - similar to Friday Friends with Oliver Cowan.
We could set up a session where players use their real names and profile pictures. It's simple to access, all the clubs games are private, it's free for the club and players and it automatically generates a results file to upload to Pianola.
It's a perfect solution when face to face bridge is not an option.
Hybrid games include face to face players in the club with online players. Just like a two section game in the club, everyone will play the same boards, with results scored across the field and visible to everyone in real time. The club will continue to use Bridgemates and the others will use Pianola Play. All the results will merge and the clubs scoring program will compile the results from both sections and generate the final scores in the same file format as any normal club game.
Hybrid games will incur a small additional charge.
This is an exciting development and could provide a completely new way of running a fully inclusive bridge session.
