	Discover the fun and challenge of duplicate bridge
		Unlike rubber bridge, which depends heavily on being dealt good hands to win, your final score at duplicate depends only on how well you bid and play the cards you actually hold, not on how "good" those cards are.
		Duplicate players tend to bid more "close" games and slams than you might at rubber bridge, so you may want to be a little more liberal in your game and slam bidding, too.
		Duplicate players are quite willing, even happy, to sacrifice when their opponents are vulnerable and they are not.

	Duplicate bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duplicate bridge stands compared to rubber bridge where each hand is freshly dealt at random and scores depend as much or more on the cards as the players.
		Bridge boards, simple four-way card holders, are used to ensure that each player's hand is passed intact to the next table who must play it, and final scores are calculated by comparing each pair's result with others who played the same hand.
		Duplicate bridge, especially matchpoint games, differs from rubber bridge: whereas the goal in rubber bridge is to win more points than the pair of people you are playing against, in duplicate bridge the goal is to do better than other pairs playing the exact same cards.

	Bridge: rules and variations of the card game
		In rubber bridge, although the better players have a noticable edge and will undoubtedly win in the long run, the outcome of a single rubber depends heavily on which side is dealt the better cards.
		Because duplicate bridge depends on comparing the results on individual boards, it is necessary that each group of players who play a board should start from the same position.
		During a duplicate event, where play will be in progress at several tables at the same time, it is important that players to not see, overhear or otherwise take an interest in the play at the other tables.

	Welcome to Duplicate Bridge

	Contract bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In duplicate bridge, the hands are shuffled only once, at the beginning of the session, and dealt, not necessarily clockwise, one at a time (there are also special machines for pre-dealing on large tournaments), and placed into bridge boards.
		In duplicate bridge, all the points are accumulated and present a single score, expressed as a positive number (sum of trick points and bonus points) to the winning pair, and by implication, as a negative number to the opponents.
		Duplicate bridge is a mind sport, and its popularity gradually became comparable to that of chess, which it is often compared with for its complexity and mental skills required for high-level competition.

	Bridge scoring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are two basic types of scoring for a single deal: "duplicate" and "rubber" scoring, which share most features, but differ in how the components of the score are accumulated.
		In duplicate scoring, the outcome of a deal presents a single number assigned to the pair who won the deal (the other pair receiving the same negative score by implication); in rubber bridge, that number is divided into two components: "above the line" and "below the line", both assigned to the winning pair.
		The part-score and game bonuses apply in duplicate and Chicago bridge, but not in rubber bridge scoring; in rubber bridge, a different type of "game bonus" is assigned at the end of the rubber.
