True, but live bridge is typically 3 times more boards.....so obviously far less variance.

There's a very nasty feedback loop where players need to adopt very high variance styles to increase their chance of placing...

It also doesn't say whether it's 4th of 10 or 4th of 1000.

Not to mention, this isnt the final results. The placing could obv be skewed since some have only played a few boards.

28 players. I posted the final results. 71% came in 5th and is a huge game in regular bridge.

maybe it would be nice then if there were full 26 board matches
at the speed people play in these it would only take an hour
would take care of the lack of variance in these short games

Obviously if a session of live bridge was only 8 boards long it would be like this too lol.
