Whilst the cards are
still in the board, we’re at 50%. Once the auction starts, our probable share
of the match-points is likely to change.

Not all hands
involve competitive bidding; sometimes one side or the other has a fairly
clear route to a fairly obvious contract, and the division of the
match-points is going to be determined by decisions in the play of the hand.
That’s another story.

This doesn’t mean
that the defending side has no part to play in the auction: sometimes by
bidding a suit, doubling a cipher bid, etc has the aim of getting partner to
make the best lead. But this isn’t really competing – we’re just sticking an
early oar into the proceedings.
