Results and Winners Bidders Challenge 2022-4

The Top Bidders for Set 2022-04

With a record entry of 1,725 this month, congratulations to our lone winner with a score of 78/80:

Alexander Cook (BBO spade7) from Sydney NSW, Australia

Alexander has been playing competitive bridge for around 20 years. He is a versatile bidder, playing four systems with four partners – Standard American, 2-over-1, a Strong Club variant based on the original Polish Club, and Standard Modern Precision. Last year, Alexander came fourth in the Australian Bridge Magazine bidding forum and just made it into the Top 20 of the BBO annual competition despite posting only eight scores. His victory this month takes him to the top of this year’s annual competition leader-board after four months.

Also on the April ‘Roll of Honour’:

with a score 77/80

Ian THomas Findlay (BBO findles) from Banff AB, Canada

Venkatesh Ramaratnam (BBO rv) from Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Annual competition leaders after 4 months

Last year, players made the leaderboard with an average scores of 50/80 but, with so many more entries this year, the bar has been raised. In the 2022 competition, you will need an average score of at least 55/80 to make it onto the leaderboard in the annual competition. This month 65 players have reached that level. Up your average score just a little and perhaps you will join this elite band.

The competition is certainly hotting up. This month’s winner, Alexander, the only competitor with four scores in the 70s this year, moves to the top of the leader-board. All three players who made the podium last year Luwen, Dave and Hanoi, are in the Top 10 after the first four months of this year. Francois moves up into third place after a commendable performance as a guest panellist this month. Last month’s winner, Milko, moves up into the Top 10 and he will be our guest panellist next month. There are also plenty of dark horses lurking just outside the Top 10 – Pete Law, for example, whose uncharacteristically poor score this month is surely one that he will discard towards the end of the year. 

Remember that if you miss a month, that is one more poor score that you will not be able to discard, so be sure to put an entry in every month.
