The Top Bidders for Set 2022-02
This is the second month of the 2022 annual competition, and we will start publishing the leaderboard in the annual competition alongside the monthly results next month. This month’s winner, matching the leaders of the expert panel with a score of 75/80 on what turned out to be another difficult set, is:
Francois Duffour (BBO: toutmo) from Paris, France
Francois is 65 and from Paris. He has been playing for many years with some good results in national events (“but too many second places” he admits). He stopped playing 12 years ago for professional reasons and has come back to the game in the past year (“thanks to Covid and BBO,” he says).
Also on the February ‘Roll of Honour’:
With a score 74/80:
Luwen Koh (BBO: XReborned) from Singapore,
Douglas Schmickrath (BBO P0STM0RTEM) from San Francisco CA, USA,
Elsa Regner (BBO: elsargenta) from Santiago, Chile,
Martins Lorencs (BBO: malorencs) from Riga, Latvia and
Venkatesh Ramaratnam (BBO: rv) from Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

One response to “BBO Prime bidders challenge: results and winners – February”
Well done sorting the scores so quickly with 1750+ entrants – a mammoth task no doubt!
Hopefully we can look forward to a Leaders Board after #1 and #2 in the fullness of time please?
Thanks.
