A little history: when I played the weekly free instant tournament I noticed you could replay and try for 100%. I never gave it my all, but during the pandemic I did it, and after making it public, I found out there were people out there trying it before me 
I use the concept 'natural' to refer to hands where you could get to 100% by doing 'normal' things, or maybe deviating a bit from the normal. For example, when opening 1NT with 14 gets you to a making game nobody else bid or when dropping an honour when everyone finessed.
I would also like to ask people to use the spoiler tag for giving solutions, some of us might want to try to solve the hands ourselves
Another request is to have a Total Points available as a ranking.
Finally, kudos to the Mediterranean people who as of late have been the first to reach 100% (It used to be Matt from Australia)

I beat you in 4 hands 
You mean the 200% on 2, 5, 6 and 8 ?
I was taking a bit of pride in finding the smallest 10 points needed for the 100%. Different strategy I guess

I found it strange that rarely anyone reach here to discuss? Are there really anyone who discuss how to make 100% in the tournament?

I do sometimes, but usually with other players in the race, like "i tell you how to make board 8 if you give me a hint for board 6"
I would like to see here when there is more than one solution for one board though, some of them are quite skillful and creative.

Playing the w.f.i.t. something happened that i thought was impossible to happen in any robot tournament...
bids on a board 2 players played were EXACTLY the same but the robot led 2 different leads...
never seen that before...

This was because we upgraded the GIB robot recently, so you played your tournament using GIB version 41, while the comparison deals were using GIB version 40.
