barmar Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 It is problem for open game if kid will play there and results from one of the tables will be completely random. Don't worry about it. It's not your responsibility to protect the integrity of the open game. Last night I was playing in a club game, and one player had brought along a friend who had never played a hand of bridge before in his life. When they came to our table, they gave us 3 tops. But they probably did the same to just about everyone else, so it averages out. Two tables were disadvantaged because they didn't get to play against them (there were 10 tables in the section, but only 8 rounds), that's the rub of the green. Occasionally players like this cause fixes, so the luck goes the other way, too. It all evens out in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sometimes the best players in the room distribute tops across the room, too, and it's a disadvantage to have not played them. This is usually on the one board set in 40 where it is *always* right to be conservative - really conservative. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
