Jeff Lewis & Simon Alterman have beaten Michael Stern & Tina Cole in the final of the MCC online "Rubber" Bridge Competition. Bridge Base Online delivered a very one-sided set of 24 boards for the event, allowing Jeff and Simon to win by 3940 points. The finalists had already met once in the competition as they were both in the Stokes league during the pool stage. That was a much more competitive match, with the eventual champions squeezing home by just 400 points. 

Many thanks to all 24 pairs who participated in the tournament and to Mike Alsford for setting it up. We plan to have another version of the event in the first half of 2021 with even more participants. After all, if the Chairman can win, clearly anyone can.
