Talk:Duplicate bridge

Name change
I changed the section called 'Pairs game' to 'Matchpoint pairs game.' There are also "IMP pairs games," of course.

A logical sequence
Can we create a sequence here? There are thousands of "duplicate bridge clubs" but I don't have any immediate statistics. But I'm trying to say the most commonly played duplicate bridge undoubtedly happens at the many bridge clubs which meet. If we present the most common first I think the article will have more value to the reader. Yes, there are more stringent things that happen for national and international tournaments, but clubs don't normally use screens and clubs don't normally use specialized scoring techniques. Can we write the article so that which is most common is presented first? I think it will have lots more value to the reader. If there is no objection, I'll rearrange the article so the most common met duplicate play is stated early in the article. Terryeo 00:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

ACBL member countries
I corrected the number of ACBL member countries to four: U.S., Canada, Mexico and Bermuda.

 * Is any country, whatever that may be, a member of the ACBL? --P64 (talk) 20:16, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Ben Cohen
Why is Mr. Cohen described as an originator of this type of bridge? Review of the stub on him does not mention this activity. Perhaps further historical research is needed.

Mitchell and Howell
There appears to be a paucity of information on the people John T Mitchell and Edwin C Howell on Wikipedia. They each gave their names to movements common in modern bridge clubs. They were both active whist players in America in the late 19th Century according to entries in "The Whist Reference Book" by William Mill Butler which was republished in 2015 (paperback 2017) (ref 1333449569) Hence my red links!
