Friday evening IMP pairs in my local club. Board 2. All 13 tables got -480, hence 0.00 IMP for everyone. 12 tables played in 4♥, 1 in 5♥, all by East taking 12 tricks. 10 tables led the ♣J, one led the ♠8 and 2 led the ♥5.

How rare are such hands in a normal club game with a large number of tables, where everyone plays the same contract and gets the same score?

The stronger the field, the tighter the score.

You're playing at a very good club. At an most clubs several declarers would've only made 5.

He's said before he plays in the Young Chelsea.

Which, for a newish player re-entering the duplicate community, is jumping into the deep end with both feet. Even if some of the YC games aren't completely the Shark Tank; the last average NGS rating of the game I expect he's playing in was 58.7%. Which, if I'm reading things correctly (and I *absolutely* could be totally misunderstanding things), means that the *average* player in the random club game was in the top 1500 in England. By a rating scheme that does go up and down with results.
