Most organized competitive bridge nowadays is “duplicate bridge” which reduces the level of chance to a very low level while maintaining the variety and possibility of the unexpected – a factor which make game-play in bridge so different from other mind sports.

Measuring your Performance
At the early stages, rankings are measured by a national master points ranking system, such as the Master Points issued at all duplicate events organized through the English Bridge Union.
More regular players in England may want to measure their rankings through the National Grading Scheme (similar to an ELO rating for Chess).
