Its been a while since the last bidding contest, but here is another
one. I will score this on a new format. You will receive one point for 
every person that makes the same bid as you do. ie you will be judged by
your peers rather than the expert opinions I have been drawing upon in the
past. Please dont discuss these hands until I post the results. Feel free
to send me comments with your choices. I will post a consensus when giving
the results and open the floor for further discussion. Assume standard
bidding(5 card majors, strong NT, weak twos) unless otherwise stated.
