Musing over slam bidding I was wondering what sort of percentage people were running at this year.

For example, played 20 sessions, 5 slams made, 25%

Not going back to check a load, but played 4 sessions over the last but one weekend:

Bid 4, made 3 including a grand, one of the 3 made should have been bid to 7, stopped in 5M twice, made both on the nose.

Sounds like a successful few sessions. Bridgewebs has a set-up which can track slams. I don't know how many clubs use it. I find my percentage varies by partner, but that could be a function of old school Acol vs 5-card Majors

My point was that slams bid and made is not the most important stat to collect:

Slams bid and not made, also whether you want to be in them.

Slams not bid that you want to be in.

plus some of the others I listed above and also if you made a bad slam, that's not a good thing going forward although it may be on the night
