Mine 
Lacking that, there are some team games with very high standard of play.... when i want to kibitz, i search team games first.

first i look for a table of stars (except justin and his friends, they play so fast and chatter so much it makes me dizzy - though it is fun), then team matches... this assumes no vugraph and, of course, it assumes ben isn't playing anywhere

Dear Hotshot,
I have seen some(& I don't mean just a smidgen) awfully embarrassingly bad bridge at vugraph, worse than me after I've eaten or drunk something with sugar in it(& even then my bidding & defense tend to remain sane, but, I seem to find ways to go down in iceys,lol). I've even sent notes, not to the offenders, but to their hapless teammates, about this giving my condolences. & as for stars, seen some good ones & some strange ones. the best male I've seen here isn't starred, the best female I've seen, is. & should we even talk about the self-proclaimed experts & world class,lolol.

Maybe not all vugraph is world class.
But just because a treatment of a special board is unsuccessful, easyly visible double dummy of cause, does not mean it not the best treatment for the majoraty of the boards.
And maybe you live in some of the leading bridge nations and are used to a very high standard.
But is still think the level at vugraph is very high. Higher than an online game sqeezed into your day.

I mentioned nothing about a "special board", you did. I've seen players on vugraph throw away buckets of IMPs board after board & that was my point, not a "special double dummy" board. & of course it's easy to find a poor to mediocre game to kibitz in the main club, but it's also pretty easy to find an excellent one.
