Names with accented or non-English letters have been converted to an English representation with a 26-letter alphabet. Many people use erratic capitalization, so I determine proper case by algorithm; if this does not correctly display your name, please advise and I will add it to the exception list. If you wish to contact someone whose name you see listed (such as a lost friend) give me permission to send your address to that person, then he or she can contact you. I will not give out e-mail addresses (these are private and go nowhere from me).
Location Ranking
This table lists all the participating locations, ranked by the average score of their entries. The “Best” column shows the best finish (by rank) of any player in that location. Locations with less than five entries are ineligible for the top ranking and grouped separately.

Bot’s Eye View
I posed these play problems to some of the well-known bridge computer programs, and the results are tabulated below. (These results are not included in the “number of participants” shown above, nor in the calculation of the median or average score.) Most of the programs have different skill settings (thinking time), and this was set to the highest level within reason.* The scores and rankings, based on six specific problems, are not necessarily indicative of each program’s overall capability.
*I do not allow any setting that takes more than a minute to make a play. Time considerations are also used to break ties, i.e., if two bots have the same score, the edge goes to the one using less time. Tests are conducted on a 3.4 GHz CPU with 512 MB RAM, running Windows 98.
Congratulations to Bridge Baron (US) which topped all the bots with a respectable score of 48, narrowly edging out perennial champ Jack (Netherlands) with 47. Five of the seven real bots (HAL qualifies as unreal in more ways than one) topped the average human score. This is especially noteworthy since the bots were incapable of understanding some of the signaling methods — mainly, the use of suit preference (middle to encourage) when third hand has shown a long suit.
As usual, there were a few wayward defenses, indicated as Choice G. On Problem 1, Bridge Buff and Micro Bridge signaled with the 
10 (options were Q, 7 or 2); while dangerously high, this is surely better than the Q, so I awarded it 4. On Problem 5, GIB signaled with the 3 (options were J, 8 or 2) — not quite as bad as the horrible 2, so I gave it 2. On Problem 6, Q-plus Bridge overtook with the ace and returned the 3, which might be a spectacular move if partner led a stiff king; but on planet Earth, it’s lucky to get 3 (same as the worst listed option).
In general, the bots favored signaling (or in some cases, I suspect just following suit) to the more aggressive overtaking plays. The exception was HAL, who seemed to think it was James Bond, as its MP3 player bellowed out the “Diamonds are Forever” theme. Sure enough, on every problem, HAL overtook with ace and led a diamond, proving once again that any consistent approach will outscore its judgment.
