Does this open up an opportunity for BG??

I am not sure whether the name is right. WOW, it is long ago that I played bridge. In bridge, when you play pairs, you compare your result to the result at other tables, playing the same hand. If you score +110, and all others score + 100, you have a top or 100% on that hand. That is the traditional method for pairs. The other way is that you compare your 110 to the average on the other table (100), so you have +10. That would then be converted to IMPs (a wash I think in the example). Strategy becomes the same as team bridge instead of pairs.

Coming to BG, if you work with a RNG and a seed, it is easy enough to duplicate the dice. You play normal money BG, score, and then compare against the average scored by others with the same dice. You add over a number of games, and switch opponents. The player with the highest plus score wins the event.

The advantage of this is that from what I read it would be deemed legal by the powers that be, whereas normal BG is running more and more into problems.

Television would require work, but could be interesting if you cut and edit, and in the commentary / on screen you can use information from the other tables and upcoming rolls to add suspense during play, explaining the swings involved (for example with cube decisions, pay now or pay later problems, etc).
