Duplicate bridge is the form of contract bridge played in most club and tournament settings, in which the same pre-dealt bridge hands are played at multiple tables so that different pairs or teams can be compared on the same cards. This format is intended to reward skillful bidding and play rather than the luck of the deal, since every competitor faces the identical distribution of cards. It is administered internationally by bridge federations and forms the basis of graded tournament and matchpoint scoring systems.
