Bridge is a game and should be fun.
My partner is the greatest bridge player of all time - whoever my partner is.
I am currently District Director for Los Angeles County (D23)

The players in the North American Pairs are known ahead of time (by and large). This provides a unique opportunity to test out ratings/predictions metrics for bridge.
What you need to do?
- Message me; then I'll send you thedatasetsand some details
- Send me your predictions - an ordered list of the potential entrants - before midnight of Sunday March 8th.
How will results be judged?
- In short: not yet finalized
- Two metrics will be used: 1) a simple metric of how many of the Day 2 qualifiers were predicted and 2) a more rigorous statistical metric - likely a weighted correlation coefficient that values predicting the top finishers. I welcome input on the metrics; I'll announce the method to be used PRIOR to the NAP events.
What do I win?
- The esteem and wonderment of your peers
Disclaimers:
- I will not publish and am not interested in the names of people who don't qualify. This challenge is about numbers not denigrating people.
- I am playing in flight B, but I promise not to dump in the competition in order to win the NAP prediction challenge ;)
