Team of Two Pairs Mentoring
Both of a teams two pairs sit in the same direction in different sections in this unusual type of pair event.
Everyone plays a session of matchpoint duplicate, just like a pair game.
Of each teams two results on a board, only the better is entered to determine the matchpoint score.
Naturally, the score not used for your team is the better score for your opponents.
Strategy is necessary to maximize potential matchpoints.
To be successful, a team should not play or defend the same contract or make the same play at both tables.
In other words, the methods used by the two pairs should be different to increase the possibility of a favorable result.
This event is usually sanctioned only at sectionals.
Joint MGSC/TCBC Team of Two Pair games are designed as a teaching tool for 499er pairs matched with experienced pairs sitting the same direction and comparing scores.
(21 instead of 27 boards in play).
Wine/cheese party and panel discussion at game's conclusion.


IMP Team Game
IMP scores compared to entire field in your direction.
Your IMP score on each board based on the difference between your raw score and the average raw score (datum) your direction or cross-IMPs (comparison with every other result).
