Upgrade methods are distribution-specific. What distribution do you use? All of the errors are shown just before the crash? I get the CLSID errors at the start, but BBO runs fine after that. the other error is the crashing one.

Xorg/XFree86 version. What distribution?

Distribution? wine version? X version? If not current, can try to upgrade?

Older, but still a junior (at least, last year he was).

It was not Agustín, but his brother Adolfo Andrés (not their father Adolfo Daniel, who is playing the South American Senior Championship). Check bridge.la No. 17 for the bidding and the development of the play in the other room (in spanish, but perhaps understable anyway).

It does do that, exactly the same way (using Javascript to get the client's local time).

Server. Please give me hand numbers, player names, etc. via PM.

BBO uses the Symbol.ttf font. You can get it from a Windows installation, and put it where is reachable by Wine. (either in C:\windows\fonts or a system wide directory).

happy birthday

Because I cannot correct the name of the post. :unsure: Fixed. Just need to edit the first post, topic title can be modified there (assuming people can modify their own posts, that's possible IIRC)

Your work environment may require you to use HTTP (what web browsers talk) in port 80. In that case, BBO won't work even in port 80, as BBO speaks its own language.

From Feb 13, IIRC. Will change the message.

Which Wine version are you using? Older ones (< 0.9.24 IIRC), required a LINUX_WINE=Y line in the [sYSTEM] section in bbover.ini.

Wine works well too.

With more hands, what's lost is the ability to see all comparisons in one look. There is also a decision on how to show the results (if the best NS are shown, your own result might not be there at first look). Best would be to center it on your own result, unless it is at the very top or the very bottom, and let people scroll for better and worse results. What's gained is accuracy, when the extreme results lost weight. Don't know how hard would this be to implement, particularly taking in consideration Fred's very limited time (assuming it is desirable at all).

The QUOTE tags (ALL tags really, except suit tags) need to be closed! I think I fixed it meaningfully, please yell if I erred.

Right, Barry. "Internal standard": A way to indicate timezones which differs from the international one. Forgot Europe as example, revolving around CET.

BBO uses CrossIMPs (just like MPs are calculated, comparing all results again any other result), NOT Butler (optionally take the extreme results, take the average, compare against the average). There is no sensible way to take results out using this method. This method is sensitive to the size of the sample (the more, the merrier. An exterme result would have less weight). [opinion] Having a computer to do the calculations, CrossIMPs seems a much better method than Butler. However, the sample size in BBO is very small (in MBC). [/opinion]

I'd use GMT, as it is the (international*) standard for this sort of thing. *US uses it's own internal standard (big surprise), Canada follows the US and guess Russia and China have their own internal standard too (big countries expanding over the EW axis)

Maybe ask "what table results will you take care of?"?

GREAT movie.

Yes, but the Japanese way, proposed in the first post, has the advantage of being already ordered.

Works perfectly. There are a couple of files in the BBO folder which need to be modified but no big deal. And no worries so far about being a zombie or email viruses is the biggest benefit. Atually, newer Wine versions don't need modifications (it used to be necessary to have a LINUX_WINE=Y in bbover.ini; BROWSER_TYPE=C might still be necessary for embedding the browser, but that is a BBO default).

That was Jacob Marley, I think.

IMP or MP results are used, it depends on how the tourney calculate scores. Also, in a Swiss, playbacks are not allowed. What BBO calls Swiss would be properly named Danish, IIRC. Sorry, DHL, that can't be done. BBO doesn't use Butler (optionally drop the extremes, then calculate the mean, then compare), but Crossed IMPs (compare with every other result, then optionally take the mean of that). This is analogous to how MPs are calculated, but instead of 1/0.5/0 you get the IMPed difference. It is also how the Cavendish does calculations (but they don't take the mean afterwards, just the total). As BBO does take the mean, the numbers look somewhat similar to Butler, but they are not the same. Big fields reduce the weight of extreme results, so big tourneys are better in that regard (initial computations in barometer compare against same section I think (it is a guide), but final results compare across the field, I think). MBC field is 16 tables. I think a bigger number would help in this regard.
