RealBridge Bidding Contest – Annual Competition, 2024

1 November, 2024

Players have now begun dropping their weakest scores, so the top of the leader-board is becoming more congested.

At the top of the table, the three leaders all picked up similar amounts with scores in the 70s. However, Paul Boudreau gained significantly with his 78/80 as he had a 60 to drop, so he climbs onto the podium and into a tie for second place with Dave, still 8 points behind Lysandra. Right behind the leaders, England’s Brian Spears jumped up into fifth place. Just 4 points now separate second through fifth place.

The Top 10 contains three players each from USA and New Zealand, plus two Brits, and one each from Australia and India.

There was again no movement this month in or out of the Top 10. However, Luwen Koh from Singapore, who has been off the leader-board thus far as he missed a month early in the year, jumps right into 11th place. England’s Pete Law and Portugal’s João Fanha both benefit from a combination of scoring in the 70s and dropping a low score to climb into a tie for 12th spot with Christian Mari from France.

As testament to the high-quality of bidding this year, an average score of 70/80 over your best nine results only ensures you of a place in the top 15. 

Here are the leaders on the annual competition leader-board after ten months:

The annual score is the total of the best 9 monthly scores over the year.
