Help
It's here, my 2015 World Bridge Teams Championships prediction competition - http://goo.gl/forms/1gvba13MWL - entries close Sunday evening, so you get one day's play for free.
I will try and get an appropriate book as a small prize, but it's really for glory.

I'm in it to win it.
Why are all the scores multiples of 3?

I'm sure there was an excellent reason for it originally, but I can't remember it. This time the excellent reason is that it is the same as last time. Bridge players hate change!

I think you might have tried harder to match the segments in your pie-charts to the teams' national colours. I'm particularly concerned to see the England women and seniors teams represented by a rather Dutch-looking orange.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Perhaps I could have tried ... but you get what you pay for

Does England have one national colour (for this one occasion I will use the English spelling of "color"
)?The Dutch ladies are represented by a beautiful Irish green.

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

As a general rule, England's colour is white. All 3 Union Jack colours have been used at various times and for various purposes in representing the UK.
