eagles123 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just got back from the club duplicate, picked up these two hands back to back 1) [hv=pc=n&e=skq64hat3dak42ca8]133|100[/hv] 2) [hv=pc=n&e=skq95ha76dak84ckj]133|100[/hv] my first reaction was we were about to bid the same board twice, until I had a slightly closer look! the other hands bore no similarities on the two boards, so I suspect it was just a total fluke rather than some sort of computer error.

barmar Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 The natural thing to do when this happens is to check the back of your cards, but you need to avoid giving away your concern to the other players (esp. partner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelicityR Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Not similar whatsoever: 8 cards different, 5 cards the same :) As for shape, 4432 is pretty common... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check the board numbers?,that's a BIG clue (!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
661_Pete Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Did you check the board numbers?,that's a BIG clue (!)It certainly is. More than once we've tried to play the same board twice, got halfway through the bidding before someone pipes up "Wait a minute!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilysmit1 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I've had this happen a couple of times in club games. One of the times there was a problem: The club also taught bridge. The boards were part of a teaching series for declarers. No one shuffled them. None of the people in the game realized what had happened until LONG after the game. I just happened to notice, since I once taught the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
