considerations:some robots play with a seventh fit in H. the par gets 27%. Some robots lose an extra trick.

DD par and what really happens at the table are different things.

I ve recently played some country-wide tourneys (same deals in every club, 1000+ pairs overall), and it was quite common to see scores from -800 to +800 on partscore deals.

Sometimes the par requires a complex play (or being in a contract you normally not reach, or a delicate slam not all pairs will find) and making it achieves a strong % when many butchered the play.

Or an unfindable lead says par is +140 while everyone scores 620, even against competent defenders.

The level of the pairs that play can also play a big role in the result.

I d not pay over attention to the par.

OK, spectacular example:

---

What contract would you like to be in at MPs ?

Well clearly 7N requiring only a 2-1 club break is the winner. Also consider it from S's pov alone, knowing partner has 2 aces and may have a club, even more in favour of 7N. With the clubs opening 4N(specific aces)-5N(2)-7N

Par is 6♣= (or a sac by opps) because clubs are 3-0 and the hand with 3 had enough other cards to double so 7N scored -2300

You need to think whether the par is reasonable.

the problem is not so much the par that does not obtain a good result. But the fact that robots go to a wrong contract with a seventh fit. And that some of them play by losing one trick more than their other "colleagues"
