Location and Dates: The 2013 USSBC was held at the Buena Vista Palace in Orlando, FL, starting on Friday, July 12th.
Format
The Senior USBC lasted 9 days. With 13 teams entered, the first stage of the event was a 1.5 day complete Round Robin. The top 8 teams qualified for the USA1 Quarterfinal. The remaining teams played in USA2. Both brackets continued with 1.5 day KO matches (except the USA2 Round of 32; the 9th place team from the USA1 Round Robin qualified for the USA2 Round of 16; the remaining 4 teams played a “knock in” to qualify three for the Round of 16). The losing USA1 finalist joined 3 teams in the USA2 Semifinals.
Some auctions (such as those where the opponents have shown a good source of tricks outside the trump suit) call for an aggressive, on the other hand...
The idea is that an aggressive, potentially dangerous bid can be a good gamble if it gets you to your best contract or pushes the opponents into a bad one.
As this was played in a pairs event, South decided to be conservative and responded three notrumps. As it turned out, this modest contract was no better than five diamonds and was not an easier contract to make.
