Your success rate at 1N is a great example of the limitations of simple statistics. What the number doesn't show is how often you - and other experts - sign off in 1N as opposed to pursuing bad two- or three-level contracts, plus how often you use 1N as a preemptive tool (e.g., accepting -50 instead of -80 or -110.)

The other issue is it is only 200 hands not others. Also once you have lots of statistics you can start to look deeper.

We used this in a trial in a club game I think a couple of years ago that was doing the game in a barometer format which is one advantage of the just in time dealing. You need fewer board sets than traditional cards in the barometer setup. I think having the full hand records of the play would be great (although you also need people to keep accurate turned over tricks in the play - a number of people don't do that or shuffle quitted tricks either during the play or after the play which destroys the records).

People are in the habit of shuffling their cards but after a few weeks of doing this your would change that habit I think.

Very neat and gorgeous machine, love the idea. From a technical standpoint I want to know how exactly does it keep records of cardplay, you put each hand cards into this in some specific order? And how cumbersome (if not) is to deal with claims and director calls - for example due to failure to follow suit/false show out (which in club I play happens quite often). I'd love to see some demo tournament, 4 boards or so, that shows how these situations can be handled.
@BridgeWithPete17 сағат бұрын
If the players don't shuffle their cards but keep them in the played order and then you stack them one on top of the other and put it in the machine. As it is dealing it the next board it records which order they came in and attaches that to the board 2 before (there are two decks). It says the cards are trick 1-13 for player x then trick 1-13 for player y, etc. It can work out when the play didn't continue in legal fashion which would often just be a claim and the cards are in any order but if players thought there might be a revoke as they put a hand into the machine a director would be able to see when legal play went till and check with the players.
@armantookmanian19383 сағат бұрын
Perhaps they should require the cards played to a trick be 'returned' to the machine before the next trick is played? The machine could display a running count of tricks won by NS and EW, and immediately flag any 'revokes' which may have gone completely unnoticed or until several tricks later.

I think a move to tablets is inevitable. Card-based alternatives are unsustainably expensive and slow down the game with no real benefit. You have to have a bridge-mate anyway, at least for pairs games. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I think it will be in our lifetimes.

Looking at the cost of a new duplicate dealing machine, it looks like this could be cost effective for small bridge clubs less than around 8 or so tables. However, most bridge clubs would usually already have bought a regular dealing machine. Maybe they would be in the market if the old machine died and couldn't be repaired. How does this Bridge Plus More record the play? Sticking cards back into the slot where the hands are first taken out? Seems like this could be nice for a table or two to use previously played tournaments (can this be done) to compare your results against possibly world class players. On the other hand, bridge seems to be headed to 100% electronic bridge, with bidding and play done on screen which has some advantages like complete recording of the auction and play, accurate timing of each bid and play, and preventing mechanical errors in bidding and play which eliminates a lot of director calls. For high level matches, players can be put in different rooms, or far away in the same room. For casual play, electronic play means you can play with 3 or more friends located all around the world.

Very cool! The price is definitely steep, and the subscription for software plus card packs made to order is a concern I think. These things are difficult to "fututre-proof" in the sense that proprietary software and hardware is costly to produce and never at a fixed price. Dansih bridge has a system that correlates hands with contracts and leads, which I find is often enough for the post game analysis. It is obviously a game changer for teaching. That part is so huge! I imagine teachers have 50+ sets of boards for teaching that they track, and maybe the digitalization helps share them. Wonder how they hanndle claims?
@BridgeWithPete17 сағат бұрын
This company is actually based out of Denmark as well. The correlating hands and leads is often enough for advanced players but beginners really aren't able to remember the bidding or the play on more than a couple of hands.

In 5, with shortness in partners suit, I didn’t feel my hand worth game force. Bid 1nt, then 2nt and played there making. In 1, I chose WJS 2s and played in 3h. Didn’t get a club lead, so down one like you. In 4, I cashed one high club then low diamond to board to preserve entries. Catering for a bad club split. Result same as you. I love your attitude, so calm no matter what happens.

Down on 4H, I also ducked the club but did not play the Jack. Then they returned a club and the contract was hopeless. All others draw, played the same way as you in 2c but as you mentioned, should realise that partner holds at most 2 hearts given that dummy and the bidding.

Very fun set! I also made 4H on the second, but I got too high in spades on the first (I bid 2S then 3S over 3H like an idiot, and got deservedly bumped to 4...). Beat 2C -2 on third, pushed 4th, and I couldn't take it after hearing 3S on the last one and passed 3S. A friendly defense followed and I managed to eke out 140 for all the matchpoints.

1. Your 3NT bid goaded a spade lead which completely changes the complexion of the hand. The rest of us got a heart lead and it is down on normal play. 4. I was obviously wrong to pass here, thinking that aces and spaces was bad. I actually out-declared you on 6/7 but did not get the ruff and discard on 8.

Tricky hands! 3NT makes on board 4 only because of some lucky lies -- diamonds splitting, the spade hook on, that club 10 dropping -- but I didn't give it a chance, having ... um ... miscounted my points (to 17) and opened 1C. Oh, well! Another mistake to look out for. And his play in 2D was much better than mine -- leading diamonds from the top -- though it turned out not to matter. And -- by the way -- what's the form of this game? IMPs (Rob yesterday said so)? And are the hands randomly dealt? Enquiring minds want to know....

The "mistake" about leading from sequences (from K96543 of diamonds) made an excellent point. I think a better example could have been chosen since it is debatable as to what the best lead should be in this auction since the opening leader doesn't have an outside entry and dummy is most likely to have at least 7 cards in the minors and opener will normally have at least a doubleton in diamonds.

On the Axx Kxxx - AQxxxx Hand i might have some insight as to why the bermuda bowl players bid like this. First is south's bid could've been a weak NT which means west likely had no way to show a 4M5m hand and didnt want to bid 3C and miss a major fit, so they pass and then when it is weak NT they could do double of 2D is takeout of hearts rather than showing diamonds which explains West's 4C

By an unpassed hand this is true. But on the first set West had declined opening the bidding (which he would've done with 20 pts) thus he can't even have as much as 12 pts. Therefore there is not onus to make a rebid after W responds
