blackshoe Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Locally here in Rochester, we have our "70% Club", where we list folks who do at least that well in our local clubs. Very few of them are as much as 75%. In the July ACBL Bulletin, there's a list of great games from various clubs around the country. Very few of them, if any, were under 75%. I suppose that just shows that the bridge here in Rochester is pretty poor. :ph34r: Personally, I'd be happy with a consistent 50%.

aguahombre Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Let us assume that the OP is asking about the displayed MP average for on-line players...an accumulation from their on-line play ---and not asking about FTF or Rochester. These averages are dependent upon whom they play against (and with). When I look at a player's "average", and don't know the actual skill level of the player, I consider jjbrr's 53.5% estimate to be a good one. There is a possibility that some extremely high averages are engineered or contrived in ways that could not happen IRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogs Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Personally, I'd be happy with a consistent 50%. B-) Isn't this different for every player? Beginners mightbe pleased to not finish last. Others expect to winevery time.Is it better to be 65% for second or 56% for first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I would say 100% is a good target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeegan Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 :P Oswald Jacoby used to say that his average in regional and national duplicate tournaments was 60%. He usually had a non-trivial wager on the game's outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
