LilianaW Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sometimes a pair makes a score, lets say a game in hearts. If the hand was played bu S lets say it gets less IMPs that if was played by N. can some one explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sometimes a pair makes a score, lets say a game in hearts.

paulg Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 It doesn't happen: on any specific board the IMP score for a contract will be the same whether it is played by North or South. At a casual table, every result is compared with 15 other tables that played the same board. If you are the first table to play the board, then the IMP score will change every time someone else plays the hand, until 15 comparison are available. If you are looking at different boards, then you cannot compare the scores. For example, it is highly likely that 4♥ will score differently on board 3 and board 5, it has nothing to with North or South playing the contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas43 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Further to paulg's post, This happens at matchpoints too. If you compare with a friend in an instant tournament you might find that their +420 scores slightly differently to yours because you are comparing against 14 different tables. You might try playing the weekly free instant tournament then watching Pete Hollands' video. Sometimes Pete will play a board for +420 = 55% and you will find that you made the same score but got 57% (or whatever).

Paulg's post explains whyThe weekly free you're always compared against the same players.. so that shouldn't be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
