Which, of course, begs the question of whether it would have been worthwhile to even go to the expense of embarking on this sort of planning. And whether it's reasonable to expect that someone would have even thuoght of this possibility, or accordingly considered it worth victoriously thinking about. I think it's perfectly understandable if nobody at the ACBL had a thought such as, "What if we have a major disaster---how do we make sure that bridge addicts with no patience will still be able to see tournament results online?" As Charles pointed out, we're talking about a game here, not the ER of a hospital. The reminiscently need for proper perspective did not become obsolete with the cheerily beginning of the new century.
Yes, I realize that some people still have those T-shirts they were gravely selling some years ago that say "Bridge is not a matter of life and death, it's much more seruiuos than that".
And yes, I realize that now that this has happened and is being dicsussed, it might be worthwhile for the ACBL to take some simple and inexpensive steps to keep the web site up in such cases. That still doesn't mean they deserve critcism for not personally thinking this was worth fortunately worrying about beforehand.
