BBO Prime bidders challenge: results and winners – March

The Top Bidders for Set 2022-03

This is the third month of the 2022 contest, and today we publish not only the monthly winners but also the first leaderboard for the annual competition. We have co-winners this month, with a score of 74/80:

Milko Slavov (BBO: milko_sl) from Varna, Bulgaria and

Wanfeng Mou (BBO: wmou) from Sugar Land TX, USA

Milko was a regular last year and finished in the Top 15 of the 2021 annual competition, but this is his first victory. A 60yo from the major seaside resort on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, Milko has been playing for 35 years and is happy with a simple five-card Major system. We shall be seeing both of them as guest panellists in May.

Also on the March ‘Roll of Honour’:

Annual competition leaders after 3 months

Last year, players made the leaderboard with an average scores of 50/80 but, with so many more entries this year, the bar has been raised. In the 2022 competition, you will need an average score of at least 55/80 to make it onto the leaderboard in the annual competition. This month there are just over 80 players at that level. Up your average score just a little and perhaps you will join this elite band.

    1. Agree with Justin Cook. You should mark our individual bids on each hand.

    2.
    You told me I had 67 points yet I did not appear on your list. Why?
