Perfection at bridge is impossible. We all know how true this is. Even
70%+ games are a rarity, so it is news worthy when they
occur. It's usually a 70%-er that wins nationally tallied match point
events when thousands of tables are in play, but many times a score of
65% or better is good enough. Frequent tournament players, familiar
with playing in 13+ table sections with
12 top and a 156 average, find that a 70% game is 218.4, or an
average of 8.4 match points per hand. Such high scoring games are
usually a fortuitous combination of good play and good luck. High
scoring games that occur between issues of the RECAP
will be collected here and reported 3-4 times per year.
