Thanks Peter, nice vid. I think some may find the slam bonus table a little confusing: 800, 1250, 1300 and 2000 are possibly alien to most players. In my club, we tend to say 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 are the slam bonuses, in addition to the gave bonus. Those numbers 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 are I think a little easier to remember for most people.
Is there any formula for scoring? Then how the software developers have prepared the scoring package. Sir I am from India and learning scope is very little here. Shall be grateful if any help is provided on this. Number of boards may not exceed 10 otherwise I will be confused. Regards.
Hey Pete. Thanks for this video. I think it would be really interesting if you could prepare a lesson about participating in a competitive table (e.g. in a tournament). What things are allowed and what things are not. What and when can you ask your opponents about their bids? Which bids from your partnership must be alerted? In which situations you should/must call the director? I am a casual player and I don't have much experience outside the friendly tournaments organized by my local bridge club, so whenever I go to a bigger event, I am not sure how to behave in many situations and I honestly don't know where to search for the appropriate table behavior. Once again, thanks for all your videos and the time and effort you put to share your knowledge and passion about the game. P.S. Where is the July's episode of "Journey to the Bermuda Bowl"? I really look forward to the insight these videos offer about what it's like to prepare for such a competition!
Hey Costas - My wife is a National director so I might get her to make one of these videos. With the Journey to the bowl video for July - We were going to make it Yesterday but Juzz got injured so had to postpone, and I am away next week so it will probably come out on the 31st?
Yeah great question Costas, I will look forward to Peter's future proposed video. Many people feel overawed at the thought of this - going to a big congress not sure about procedure. I don't want to pre-empt the video, but [in Australia and probably similar elsewhere] "alert any bid that isn't natural except for any double, any redouble and any bid of a suit already mentioned by the opponents (all these are classified as "self alerting"). Also do NOT alert anything above 3NT - except for artificial opening bids above 3NT. It's very rare to find anyone playing these type of opening bids." As to asking the opps about their bids, you can do it whenever it is your turn to bid - always ask the partner of the person whose made the call. You can also do it at the end of the auction if you are on lead at trick 1. If your partner is on lead, wait until they have selected their card before asking (you mustn't influence their choice). Defenders or declarer can also ask about any auction bid at any later time in the play (best not to when it's your partner's turn to play). When to call the director - WHENEVER any irregularity happens no matter how small. Even declarer leading from the dummy when the lead is in their own hand or vice versa - director should be called. The non-offending side always has at least one option when an irregularity occurs. By not calling the director you forfeit any rectification, and nothing frustrates a director more than finding out that players made their own ruling (often the wrong ruling) three tricks ago!
Possibly I could also have said "Alert any bid where you know significantly more about your partner's bid because of your partnership agreements than the opponents could be expected to know". For example suppose you play Bergen, so in the uncontested auction 1H-3H, the 3H bid shows say 3 to 6 total points including counting for shortage. The opponents have a right to know that. Alert the 3H bid.
It is predetermined and rotates around (attached to the board number). For instance board 1 is always everyone non vul. There is a pattern that repeats every 16 boards but I never bothered to learn it but you can look it up if you are curious.
Cumming from Whist this is a major turnoff. So much simpler to get 1 for contract and per over trick at the 1 level, 2 at the 2 level, 4 at the 3 level and generally 2^(x-1) at the x level. Score is doubled for no trump and clubs. If you don't make your contract deficit counts twice as much per under trick.
This is great. I will certainly be watching this video a few times until I have a better understanding of match points and imps. Thank you for sharing

I also watched your bridge videos, Alex

Just ask about anything ur not sure of
It would be super helpful, if you bring in a few more charts.
😍👍😍
What does LS & GS point means?
Sorry I'm not sure what you are referring to. Maybe little slam and Grand slam. Not that I use LS for little slam
Yeah! Thank you that's all i was asking 😊
How is vul or not vul determined?
It is predetermined and rotates around (attached to the board number). For instance board 1 is always everyone non vul. There is a pattern that repeats every 16 boards but I never bothered to learn it but you can look it up if you are curious.
@@BridgeWithPete Thank you!

*Who the hell came up with these rules??? They are less comprehensible than calculus!*
What are vulnerable and non-vulnerable? You lost me.
Horrible sound, hard to listen too. Needs a better microphone.
You're all over the place
