Crossword Genius

Score in a bridge tournament? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get

'score' is the definition.
(I know that get is a more specific form of the action score)

'in a bridge tournament?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GET' can be found hidden inside 'a bridge tournament'.

(Other definitions for get that I've seen before include "Acquire" , "Escape" , "Receive; obtain" , "Procure or secure" , "Procure from vegetables" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
