Although I agree with all of you, I'll have to go for the format that is preferred by most people. I'll let this poll last for a few more days and see if people change their mind, and make the registration start at the end of this week.

about 1 month, I started event 3 on 9/17 and the last final score was reported on 10/16.

Edited the post.

There is a reason I bring this best/non best hand issue into discussion Previously (before event 2) people prefer non-best hand because the existence of special strategy for best hand (like open 1N with wide range). However I realize there are also a lot of weird things you can do in non best-hand tournament (like preempt wide, robot seems to do poorly against it). Best hand might be an option if people want to reduce the variance create by robot.

During event 3, I see many comments on possibilities of changing the format in the future, so I open this poll. Please also comment if you have further suggestion of the format that is used in event 3. Some debatable points 1. IMP or MP 2. Best hand or not 3. Seeding of the initial round (whether it's small group RR or KO) 4. Seeding of the first KO (whether strictly follow #n vs. #17-n or we should let #1~4 to pick opponents, for example) 5. Format of consolation 6. # of boards, time restriction, and how to deal with players that drop out (in event 3 the arbitrary rule of assigning VP actually makes jeffford76 missed R16 by 0.01 VP). 7. Anything I forget to mention Also, let me know if you have strong opinion that you prefer other people to organize this event.

Thanks for everyone's cooperation, the result is already posted at http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/75137-bbf-challenge-events-results/
