To Stacy&#039;s point about the fading stigma associated with being a client: I think the stigma had to do mainly with the perception that clients with little or no expertise/aptitude for the game were being propelled to victory by pros.  

As bridge has become more competitive, that perception has faded because now the client has to bring an A game to have a realistic chance to win a major event, regardless of how good the rest of their squad might be.</description>
