| Duplicate
bridge is the most widely used variation of contract bridge, used in
club and tournament settings. It is called duplicate because the
same bridge hand (i.e. arrangement of cards) is duplicated at most of
the tables playing, in order to allow a fair comparison of playing skill
and reduce "luck of the cards". In this way, every hand,
whether good or bad, is played in competition with others playing the
identical cards, and the element of competition is heightened whilst
that of chance is reduced. Duplicate bridge stands compared to rubber
bridge where each hand is freshly dealt at random and scores depend as
much or more on the cards as the players.
Bridge boards, simple four-way card holders, are used to ensure that each player's hand is passed intact to the next table who must play it, and final scores are calculated by comparing each pair's result with others who played the same hand. Bidding boxes are often used to facilitate the mechanics of bidding, prevent inadvertent passing of information, and minimize the noise level. In duplicate bridge, a player normally plays with the same partner throughout an event. The two are known as a "pair". There are two exceptions: on team events with five or six members swapping partners for portions of the event, and in individual tournaments, in which players change partners for each round. |
