lamford Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 My limited experience of Scotland, and what I've been told about Ireland & Wales, would lead me to believe that there are far more TD calls in England than in the rest of the British Isles.That is hardly surprising as the population of England in the 2011 census was 53,012,456 and the population of the rest of the British Isles around 14,758,000 (I could not quickly find the census for Eire). I don't have the percentage of active bridge players in each area, nor am I aware of the average number of TD calls per player in each, but the difference in population might explain the phenomenon you observed.
