jillybean Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi Bruce, you'll be looking for a new partner will you? :)If we are honest havent we all done this, I played in a doubled cue bid contract recently, and made it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBruce Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 No, no, no. The point is not that I made a doubled contract or played Board 1 in a cuebid. It is that I won a 12-board tournament by 5% over second place despite taking a zero on Board 1. It is possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I wouldn't quit the RR dup games without say, 3 bottoms. Can't scratch unless you play all 12 boards, and anyways, if I paid for the 12 boards I'd want to play them out =P Congrats on your many tops lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK not nearly as exciting as Bruce's result. This could qualify as a new event - get as high a score as possible but first make sure to get a bottom board.

McBruce Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Bravo Runewell! I seem to recall that about 15 years ago, playing in the Epson or perhaps one of the other instant matchpoint games, I began against a pair that had arrived late or something and scored a universal zero on Board 1 (a score right off the instant matchpoint charts!). We had to move for round two after that, since we got the late start, but in the late play we made it an average round with a universal top and we ended up 25th in the ACBL! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
