Swings

1: Garek bid game; Geucy stopped in partial - 6 IMPs
2: Lucy led a heart against 3NT -4; Gareth led a club against 3NT -1 - 4 IMPs
3: Bob made an overtrick in 1NT; Louise went one down - 6 IMPs
4: Lucy made an overtrick Bob didn't in 3NT - 1 IMP
5: Lucy played 4S +3; Lin played 5S +2 (defenders could have cashed two club tricks) - No swing
6: George played 3C -1; Gareth bid and made 4H in the other direction - 11 IMPs
7: Bob made an overtrick George didn't in 4S - 1 IMP
8: Lucy made an overtrick Lin didn't in 4S - 1 IMP
9: Lib defended 5Sx -1; Geucy defended 5S -1 - 3 IMPs
10: Owen put Louise into 6NT -3, but Lucy put George into 7NT -5 - 5 IMPs
11: Louise played 2C +1, Gareth played 2H -1 the other way; 2 IMPs
12: After Owen tried to make a takeout double of Louise's 1S overcall, Lin went one down in 2C; George played 4D -1 the other way after Lucy passed up a chance to double Gareth in 4C - 4 IMPs
13: Both Lin and Mark passed partner's Unusual 2NT with J10xx? Q10xxx? Jx? Qx. Gareth made 2NT; Lucy competed to 4Hx -3 - 12 IMPs
14: Looking at AKJxx? x? x? AKJ10xx, both Bob and Gareth asked for key cards. After 1G-1S; 2S-4NT; 5S, Gareth stopped in 6S +1 while Bob bid and made the grand slam - 11 IMPs
15: A wild hand. After 1H-2H, Mark jumped to 5D, doubled by Owen and two down. Lin only bid 3D, 4H from Lucy, 5D from Bob, 5H from Lucy, 6D from Lin, 6H from Lucy, 7D from Lin and eventually 7H -2 from Lucy after spades split 4-1 - 11 IMPs. Had Lucy passed 7D with her void and let George double, that would have been an 11 IMP swing the other way, putting Garek into first place.
16: 4H = at both tables - Flat board.
17: Lin went one down in 5C; Louise went two down in 3H - 2 IMPs
18: Mark played 2H +2; George played 3H = - 1 IMP. The hand could have been decisive. West was on lead at trick 11 with (approximately):

The lead chosen was the spade king, setting up George's jack to win the thirteenth trick. Giving declarer a ruff-and-discard would have set the contract, because it would not have established a winner for declarer. A ruff-and-discard usually only hurts when it lets declarer get rid of a loser.
