| Par Bridge Contest |
 |
Following our tradition of running games no other clubs offer, we will hold our first "Par" bridge event on Monday, August 23.
In this event, all pairs will compete against a computer generated optimal "par" score on each board. At the conclusion of the game, participants will receive a handout with the par scores explained.
The par contract on a deal is that contract which results from optimal bidding by both sides and which neither side could improve by further bidding. It will either be equal to the optimum contract of one side or it will exceed the optimum contract of both sides. If the latter, it is only considered par if the doubled penalty is less than the value of the opposing optimum contract.
The par result is that score which arises from the par contract and on which neither side could reasonably improve by changing their line of play. |
