Does anyone know what form of scoring is used in the Speedball Pairs tournaments which use Imps? What is the optimum bidding style in these tournaments? Playing teams with imps we do not risk the contract for the sake of a possible overtrick and sometimes we will make a safety play giving up a trick unnecessarily in order to guarantee the contract. In match pointed pairs we will try to play in NT if possible, particularly if the alternative is a minor, and will strive for overtricks even if it risks going off in a cold contract if a suit misbehaves badly etc etc
