Duplicate bridge is the most widely used variation of contract bridge played in clubs and at bridge tournaments. It is called duplicate because the same bridge deal (i.e. the specific arrangement of the 52 cards into the four hands) is played at each table and scoring is based on how well you did on the hand as compared to everyone else who played it.

They divide the bridge diagonally to make it difficult for partners to interact with one another visually, and they’re used at many national and international events including this month’s World Championships.
