On a night when a special exhibit of playing cards was opened at the Hotel Transamerica, teams in the three major events went to bed wondering if victory or at least a medal could be foretold for them.
Standings in the round robin mean little at this point, but it’s better to be on top than in the lower levels of the standings. Each of them is hoping to finish in the top eight of the round robin standings so as to earn a spot in the knockout phase of their respective events.
No team has much of a lead as play resumes today, but out front after three matches are Argentina (with 68 victory points) in the Bermuda Bowl, USA 1 (62.25 VPs, just ahead of France and Indonesia) in the Venice Cup and England (64) in the D’Orsi Seniors Bowl.
Norway, the defenders in the Bermuda Bowl, were just 4 VPs off the lead, right behind the Netherlands.
