Usually, both North and South or both East and West can make the same number of tricks, in which case the table shows the result in the middle for the pair. Occasionally, the par result will be different, depending on the specific declarer. In this example, you can see that with hearts as trump the E-W pair can make 6 tricks when East is the declarer, but only 5 tricks when West is the declarer. |
