Thank you for the reply. That makes sense. So if my board is bid differently than the other 15 boards, it is because GIB is bidding that situation differently than it had in the past. Having Instant Tournaments all on the same version of GIB would be useful IMO.

Perhaps I'm in the wrong place for this, if so let me know. When playing in robot tournaments, sometimes a single board is bid differently by the robot. For example, in an Instant Touranment, on this sequence, 1H - 2D - P - 2NT - P 14 of the 15 robots bid 3D. The one board where the robot bid 3NT made a bunch of IMPS. It would seem that when one plays robots, since the idea is that you are competing against other HUMANS, the robots wouldn't be that inconsistent. For example, if it is a 40% - 60% I totally understand the robots bidding (and the same thing applies to playing) differently and there is a range of scores. But when only one robot has a different bid, it tends to make for crazy results. Is that a "feature" to simulate the outlier bids you find in the real world? That seems contrary to the idea having a list at the end of how one stacked up against other humans. What would be the negative to having similar bidding from robots unless a certain level of uneveness (say 25-30%) was reached? Thanks for your patience, Jay
