Redoubled contract yields identical 1080 at bridge playoffs
In a semifinal playoff for the 1989 World Team Championship berth, Lew Stansby and Chip Martel reach four hearts after a semipsychic one diamond opening. West doubles and redoubles on three sure tricks, producing 1080 points despite three defensive tricks. At the other table Eric Rodwell and Jeff Meckstroth reach a similar outcome after a strong artificial one club opening and a second jump to four hearts, ending in a 1080-point standoff.
