Competitive Bidding: Objectives
•
•
Maximise our percentage on the board
•
•
i.e. maximise our match points
We enter our result on the Bridgemate, and we eagerly await the percentage. Obviously we want this to be as large as possible.
Actually, we need to state our objective a little more precisely, because the percentage is simply a calculation derived from our match-point score.
This may seem a trivially obvious point to make, but focusing on our match-points is what drives many of our competitive decisions
