| Results (2000 Bermuda)
The event started with the eight participants playing a 10-board round robin. The top four programs from the round robin played a 38-board semifinal match and the winners played a 54-board final. |
Comments: Meadowlark had a serious bug in play logic, but was not allowed to fix it through the round robin. GIB used Moscito system; opening 1D(4+S),1H(4+H),1S(4-4 in H&S) with 8-14HCP, a strong club and relays. Some programs could not prepare the defensive system against Moscito. Especially, WBridge5 met GIB at the final had no defensive systems against Moscito. Though all programs were allowed to enter the meanings of the alerted bids manually, programs can not correctly compete without the pre-defined defensive system. GIB enjoyed its advantage at elimination round and the final. Micro Bridge and Q-plus had their defensive system against Moscito and did not give the advantage to GIB. GIB got only +1VP (14-13) from Micro Bridge and was defeated by Q-plus (21-30). Round Robin results
