BBO Prime bidders challenge: results and winners – July

The Top Bidders for Set 2021-7

After getting our first perfect score last month, we have another. Scoring 80/80 this month is the man whose BBO blog discussing the problems is fast becoming a fan favorite:

Hanoi Rondon (BBO: hanoi5) from Santiago, Chile

Hanoi Rondón is a bridge teacher who has been in love with the game from the moment he discovered his first bridge article in a newspaper some 27 years ago. Originally from Venezuela, he currently lives in Chile. He teaches bridge online and has a YouTube channel called ‘Bridge Entretenido’.

Congratulations to him, he wins 50 BB$ and a 1 month subscription to Prime!

But remember, we also randomly drew a winner from among the participants and…. tadaaaaa the winner is:

Joseph Hicks (absolut0)

Congratulations to Joseph Hicks who wins a 3 month subscription to Prime!

with an impressive score of 78/80:

Peter Law (BBO: PETELAW) from Broadstairs, Kent, England
