In Response To: Diaconis on Randomness (Bob Koca)

It hasn't happened for ~30 years in England. Occasionally for simultaneous pairs events (same deals played in clubs all over the country) someone would select a set of "interesting deals" - maybe select the most interesting 26 out of 40 random deals.

Dealing machines are now widespread and are used in all national events and many club events.
