  1. no "BBO for linux". Just BBO running under Wine.
  2. hmm, perhaps just a "Concede" button to change the default would do. so, you would have "More" and "Less" like now, plus "Concede".
  3. Note: Talking for myself, not BBO. No, it wouldn't. In MP it clearly makes no sense, because how MPs get calculated (you compare against each other result, get a 1/0.5/0 if your score is better/equal/worse than the other, then (usually) your final result is converted to a percentage, so 10 MPs comparing against 15 other tables gets a 66.6% Now, BBO uses CrossIMPs, which are calculated exactly the same way as MPs do, but you get the IMPed difference in each comparison instead of 1/0.5/0. Then (and NOT before), the sum of all your comparisons is (optionally*) divided by the number of comparisons. IMO, this is the best method. I also happen to think Butler is an artifice coming from doing the calculations by hand, as it involves substantially less calculations. These days, computers can do that. In short: there is no average to toss calculations from. Extreme (and every) results weight are controlled by the size of the sample, which I think was kept at 16 in non-tourney tables to keep the Movie fully contained in a single view (I think next good number would be the next power of 2, 32, which wouldn't enter in a single view, without scrolling). Tourneys are managed different, the scores you get initially are from your own section (small sample), but just a guide, as the scoresare recalculated against all sections at the end. * The Cavendish uses the same method, without dividing, so their numbers appear bigger (and very different than Butler). BBO divides, so numbers appear similar to Butler.
  4. For me, 18-19 bal. 3NT is the hand with long ♣ too strong for 3♣ rebid, but shy of 2♣ opening.
  5. Please remember to use black suit symbols when writing hidden text, that's what they are for.
  6. These forums are conducted in english except in specially created sub forums. This is NOT one of them.
  7. sorry, don't follow. Are CCs copyrighteable? would be surprised if so. That would mean you can't use same methods as a pair who has a copyrighted CC. In the same way, don't think FD files are copyrighteable, (as they are just CCs, just easier to copy than normal ones)
  8. Josh: It is a leftover of the previously posted bidding. As we were looking at hands in order, dealer was moving to the next position. Previous dealer bid (I think only if different from pass, maybe wrong) showed then. Guess the best solution would be to clean the first row previous to the dealer anyway.
  9. Server is running NTP to keep synchronism. Rechecked, right to the second.
  10. In the web pages, the symbols font (and all the others) are set using CSS. so you see <span class=...... etc, and another file, with the .css extension, defines the properties applied to that class (including the font). Perhaps webcopier doesn't look at this CSS file, and doesn't have the card symbols defined (would be surprising, but it is consistent with what you see)
  11. That mechanism is an integral part of HTML, &char; is the way to encode certain characters which are not available by direct input (and some which are). Also, the ♣ character is available in the Unicode character set, what font are you using to display it? Not all fonts support it properly. As I recall, Arial does. Please try using it.
  12. there is none. Punishment for leaving kicks in after all players bid once.
  13. There already, click in the button where the next vugraph is announced (only seen where there are no running vugraphs)
  14. Turned out it wasn't much, still lots of complains. This light blueish is much more liked, thought not universal.
  15. My bad. Fixed already, they should be showing by now.
  16. See the thread BBO for Linux. In short, add [sYSTEM] LINUX_WINE=Y BROWSER_TYPE=C to your bbover.ini file.
  17. Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
  18. Suit symbols are Unicode. Looking into the other problem.
