Australian bridge players join a yearly tournament with prearranged hands. This year the Australian Bridge Council plans to admit American and European entrants. The sample hand shows East must find four defensive tricks quickly, with spades as the key threat. East should lead the queen of spades to secure four tricks, setting the contract for the defense.
The article explains that any bidding style yielding a final contract of three no trump earns credit and that South will play the hand at three no trump while West leads the nine hearts. After lead, players act on their own to make or defend the contract, with North or South closing the bidding for credit purposes.
