Bridge Notes

Basics of Duplicate Bridge


  1. Primary variation of Contract Bridge used for competion.

  2. Duplicate - The name comes from the use of hand (deal) duplication to allow multiple players to play the same cards.

  3. Scoring - The scoring is modified (as compared to rubber bridge) so that your score is based on how well your results compare with others who played the same cards as you. In rubber bridge, your score is somewhat dependent on how many high cards you are dealt.
