mycroft Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 And the game gets better as the game gets better too. It's yet another reason to play in the strongest fields you can; horrible luck from those "out of your control" hands is lessened, and good luck from them is increased. There was a hand this weekend; 13 tops, but the hearts were AJx opposite a singleton, and the suit was clubs. Not the trickiest grand in the world to find, but not the easiest, either. In the side game, there was a 1520, a 1020 and a 1440.In the B game, +940 was worth 3/8; one pair only bid a grand (and it was NT). The rest bid 6NT.In the A game, +940 was worth 0.5/8; and even 7♣ got you a below-average score. Pity the pair in the B game whose opponents can bid well enough to find 7. The pairs in the A game who couldn't deserved what they got. The opponents of the ones that could could take comfort that they were going to get a reasonable score - but do the opponents of the ones that couldn't "deserve" their top?

Fluffy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 this is why Pair contests are normally scored in MPs and not in IMPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
