I regret that this week’s hand is missing as the file was corrupted just as I was about to send it to the paper and I have run out of time as I am travelling. I will make up for it next week.

The all important results are below. There is also some news of substantial changes to the 2017 Bermuda sectional, which I had also discussed in the column and will now redo for next week.

Note the change in date for the Sectional, which is slated for October 13–16. I will discuss the format changes next week.
