Thank you. But you know everybody is in a terrible hurry to know the results. So how long should I wait before announcing the final version of the results, where the traveller, and the Player’s History are reflecting the same result. I am asking you about this only for guidance and of course the selfish motive of escaping from all those apologies with which I am currently responding to complaints Thank you in advance

I find that If I make adjustments to the scores after a tournament is completed, but within the allowed 20 minutes after completion, the adjustments do not appear in the Traveller. But when I look at the Player's Results, the corrected score does appear. This is is causing a lot of complaints. I usually ask the complaining players to look at the relevant hand in their History.It is correctly reported there i.e. with the adjustment. However, I feel that is not a satisfactory state of affairs.

A few individuals (I made some inquiries and can provide the URL of their website. It is still up) helped to run the HCL tournament. I am sure some of you may have heard of HCL. This gained them a degree of legitimacy. They parlayed that into cash by holding their own tournaments with relatively large entry fees and some cash prizes, pocketing the difference. BBO has rightly stripped them of all privileges. But in doing so have stripped almost all Indian directors of directorial privileges and normal players of the ability to hold team matches. To my mind such sweeping measures are uncalled for and unjust. Coming to me, I am a resident of the US for the past twenty one years and a professor of finance for the past eleven years. My physical as well as my IP address if BBO cares to verify is from the US. I am in no way connected to any of this. I fail to see how BBO has included me in this drastic culling. The only connection is my Indian name. I do not want to call it anything. But some of you have given the action a label. I thank you all for expressing an interest in the issue

Some unscrupulous people in India have made money by charging tournament fees. Instead of punishing those individuals, BBO has removed permission to hold pair events and even team matches for almost all Indian players. I am residing in the United States for the past twenty one years. I have nothing to do with these events. My permissions were revoked simply because I have an Indian name. I emailed BBO my Name, Address, profession etc. My IP address can be checked anytime by BBO. I am not masquerading as someone from the US. In a situation where corporations are coming forward to do their bit, BBO seems to be punishing innocent people.
