Why is it a dead rubber?* We don’t call a game that counts a live rubber. Rubber discrimination? Not for me to say but obviously yes.
*The actual etymology of ‘dead ‘rubber’ is from the card game ‘rubber bridge’. A from of contract bridge, rubber bridge is played by two competing teams of two players. For example, the Davis Cup series has each pair of competing countries play 5 matches (rubbers) where the winer is decided on a best of five basis – where the result is known before the completion of the five matches (ie one side wins three) the remaining match/es are said to be ‘dead rubbers’.
Prediction: Everyone to have learned something about dead rubbers. Me to learn there is no rubber discrimination as I first surmised. Basically everyone will learn something. Aside from Brett.
Prediction:

Must be a curse from some sage maverick, but I have completely lost the ability to learn. Send money.
Prediction: The identity of the sage maverick to remain hidden as no-one reads that clownshoes previews.
