The new Funbridge tournament has fully served this purpose at the expense of our columnist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This month, we launched a new elimination tournament on Funbridge with an iPad to win, but above all with a new handicap formula. Handicap varies from -80 to +80 IMPs, with most of handicaps between +20 and -20 IMPs. The handicap principle is that it must be high enough to enable each player to start with the same chances of winning the tournament. With more than 2,000 players registered, each player\u2019s chances of winning are quite minimal. Each round consists of 25 deals and 2 rounds are played per week. The sixth round is currently being played, with some good results already. For instance, a player has managed to pass her first 5 rounds, conceding 5 (narrow) defeats in scratch scoring, but her +22 handicap allowed her to win her 5 matches! The final is scheduled to take place at the end of March\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Here is a deal from the second round:<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 6px; padding-left: 15px;\" bgcolor=\"#e9e9e9\" width=\"150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1003\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/S.png\" alt=\"S\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #000; font-size: 20px;\"> 8 4<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/H.png\" alt=\"H\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #c90202; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0A 10 6 5 4<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1000\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/D.png\" alt=\"D\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #f28f00; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0A K Q<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-999\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/C.png\" alt=\"C\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #757473; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a08 7 5<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1050\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSEO.png\" alt=\"orienation\" width=\"166\" height=\"90\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 6px; padding-left: 15px;\" bgcolor=\"#e9e9e9\" width=\"150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1003\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/S.png\" alt=\"S\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #000; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0R 5 3<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/H.png\" alt=\"H\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #c90202; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0K J<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1000\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/D.png\" alt=\"D\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #f28f00; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a07 5 4<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-999\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/C.png\" alt=\"C\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #757473; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0K Q J 4 2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bidding:<\/p>\n<table class=\"bids\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<tbody>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>SOUTH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>WEST<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>NORTH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>EAST<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1115\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1C.png\" alt=\"1C\" width=\"42\" height=\"25\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1129\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1S.png\" alt=\"1S\" width=\"42\" height=\"25\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1109\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2H.png\" alt=\"2H\" width=\"42\" height=\"25\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 5px;\"><strong>PASS<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td style=\"padding-top: 5px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-575\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/en_us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2NT.png\" alt=\"2NT\" width=\"42\" height=\"25\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 5px;\"><strong>PASS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 5px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-576\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/en_us\/wp-content\/uploads\/3NT.png\" alt=\"3NT\" width=\"42\" height=\"25\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 5px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How do you play 3NT when the lead is Q&#x2660;?<\/p>\n<p>The problem lies in how to handle hearts. Here are a few rules when you are looking for a queen and you are not in a case of cumulative chances:<br \/>\n\u2022 Don\u2019t necessarily look for the queen in the overcaller\u2019s hand. The fact that a player has overcalled in a suit has no impact on his chances of holding a queen.<br \/>\n\u2022 You should better look for the queen in the assumed long side of the suit, i.e. often in the hand of the overcaller\u2019s partner.<br \/>\nThese are the basic rules. Of course, you must be able to adapt them according to circumstances.<br \/>\nHere, in order to stack the odds in your favour, you must finesse East. Indeed, if you play the queen in West, you will take 5 tricks only if it is a 3-card suit headed by the queen (a 2-card suit headed by the queen would not bring you anything). But if you finesse East, you will win as soon as the 2-card or 3-card suit will be headed by the queen.<br \/>\nEven if the doubleton will be much more often in West, here you must play it in East to improve your chances and of course, it was the case for this deal!<br \/>\nThis deal didn\u2019t cause any difference and I lost my match by 5 IMPs. I was 51 IMPs behind and managed to catch up 46 of them only. I wish good luck to Mariejade for the rest of the tournament!<\/p>\n<p><b>Here are the four hands:<\/b><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 6px; padding-left: 15px;\" bgcolor=\"#e9e9e9\" width=\"150px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1003\" src=\"http:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/S.png\" alt=\"S\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/><span style=\"color: #000;
