They did not remove the overlay at either Regional our team attended, and I do have to agree that removing it definitely would have made some of the matches even more exciting! It's pretty easy to do the bridge balance math in your head!

It will make the decision to triple balance riskier...not knowing if you only needed to do a double to win ~ or go for a triple and risk getting nothing and losing. Interesting.
