Scoring will be done two ways. One method will be the new idea of giving
a point for everyone who makes the same bid. This assumes that the most
popular answer is probably best and removes all bias from the scoring.
The other one will be the old way of me ranking bids(10=best, 9,8 etc) as
I see fit based on how persuasive the arguments I hear are. This makes the
scoring very subjective(but appears to be most popular from the feedback).
Hopefully I do a good job, but I will listen to all appeals.
I will post comments for each hand as time permits. Included will be quotes
from the panel of experts that gave the quiz originally, comments by the
contestants, and my final thoughts on the ordered ranking(ie why). Feel
free to post added thoughts at that time which you feel I missed.
Remember, standard bidding, weak twos and strong NT.
