Bermuda Bowl: To everyone’s surprise, USA 1 as the RR winner, earned the privilege of first choosing its adversary in the QF, ENGLAND, and is losing by 63 IMPs. Another surprise is the Norway-Italy result: Norway has developed a 100 IMP distance over the three first sets. The other matches are almost even.
This was how the Daily Bulletin explained trhe situation:
Today, the last day of quarterfinal play in the main events — Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup, d’Orsi Seniors Trophy and the Mixed Teams — will mean the end for some teams, and the list of squads on the brink of elimination is surprising. Heading that group is USA 1 in the Bermuda Bowl. The team led by Nick Nickell qualified at the top of the round robin standings but trail England 55-118. USA1 has a chance to regroup for three 16-board sets today, and the team is known for their ability to come from behind, but they are facing a difficult task.
Another favored team in danger of losing is Sweden, who qualified third in the Bermuda Bowl, but trail The Netherlands 78-94. The only team that appears to be secure is Norway, leading Italy 171-71.
In the middle of the road these are the QF partial results.
