Prizes awarded at the british universities bridge festival - these are
generally good for a laugh, though they can distort the bridge:

- Bidding and making 1C tick.
- Bidding and making 5NT.
- Bidding and making 4C (the Gerber prize).
- Beer card prize (last trick with D7 to make tick, or defend 1 off,
with diamonds not trumps).
- First person to go for 1100.

Also, there was a huge hat that had to be worn by the last person to go
for 1100 or more. Though I suspect we scored rather more -1100's than
is common at your club.
