In short, the results of all games get posted to the website twice. At the moment of completion, and again at the end of the correction period (usually 20 minutes). In the big BBO club games, we do not add time for the final round, as has been noted above. In smaller games, it is a very good idea to do so.

Yes, the site has been having similar issues all day. As director, I can't reliably see Table History, Travellers, or sometimes even the tables in my game.

We've been running our games at 2pm Central US time for 5 months, and now it's been unbearable for at least 5 of the last 8 days at that time. It's hard to move to a different time when our neighboring clubs have the morning, noon, and evening sessions set, and I don't want to run through part of the dinner hour. But I don't know what else to do...

Following. We had these issues last Wednesday and Thursday, and I saw a news item that claimed to have fixed the problem, but back to square one again today.

I think a pass by GIB would deny 16 total points, but that still doesn't explain this auction: https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?bbo=y&lin=pn|~~M9417,rossi12,WOEngel,azalea211|st%7C%7Cmd%7C2S367TJHJD6KAC45KA%2CS248KAH258KD3QC3T%2CS9H3TQAD8TJC689JQ%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard%204%7Csv%7Cb%7Cmb%7C1S%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cd%7Can%7C3%2B%20%21C%3B%203%2B%20%21D%3B%203%2B%20%21H%3B%209%2B%20HCP%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C2H%7Can%7C4%2B%20%21H%3B%2013-%20total%20points%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpc%7CSQ%7Cpc%7CS3%7Cpc%7CS2%7Cpc%7CS9%7Cpc%7CS5%7Cpc%7CST%7Cpc%7CSK%7Cpc%7CH3%7Cpc%7CC8%7Cpc%7CC2%7Cpc%7CCA%7Cpc%7CC3%7Cpc%7CHJ%7Cpc%7CH2%7Cpc%7CHT%7Cpc%7CH4%7Cpc%7CC4%7Cpc%7CCT%7Cpc%7CCJ%7Cpc%7CC7%7Cpc%7CD8%7Cpc%7CD7%7Cpc%7CDA%7Cpc%7CD3%7Cpc%7CDK%7Cpc%7CDQ%7Cpc%7CDT%7Cpc%7CD2%7Cpc%7CD6%7Cpc%7CH5%7Cpc%7CDJ%7Cpc%7CD4%7Cpc%7CSA%7Cpc%7CHQ%7Cpc%7CD5%7Cpc%7CS6%7Cpc%7CHA%7Cpc%7CH6%7Cpc%7CCK%7Cpc%7CH8%7Cpc%7CCQ%7Cpc%7CH7%7Cpc%7CC5%7Cpc%7CS4%7Cpc%7CD9%7Cpc%7CS7%7Cpc%7CS8%7Cpc%7CC6%7Cpc%7CH9%7Cpc%7CSJ%7Cpc%7CHK%7Cpc%7CC9%7C

At a table where I couldn't determine one pair to be the cause of the slow play, they got through 6 tricks. North can now make if he plays for the right major to break 3-3. GIB assumed he would get it wrong, and I decided to assign average, since I can't do a weighted score. I know GIB often leaves it as an average if they don't get through half of the play. Does anyone know what the threshold is for that? https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|South,West,North,East|md|2SAK842H74DAK4CA82,SJ65HJT85DT2CQT97,SQ7HAQ632DQ9753CJ,ST93HK9DJ86CK6543|sv|b|rh||ah|Board%204|mb|P|mb|1H|mb|P|mb|1S|mb|P|mb|2D|mb|P|mb|3C|mb|P|mb|3D|mb|P|mb|4N|mb|P|mb|5D|mb|P|mb|6D|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|C4|pc|CA|pc|C7|pc|CJ|pc|DA|pc|D2|pc|D3|pc|D6|pc|DK|pc|DT|pc|D5|pc|D8|pc|H4|pc|H5|pc|HQ|pc|HK|pc|CK|pc|C2|pc|C9|pc|D7|pc|HA|pc|H9|pc|H7|pc|H8|

The first table to play a board fouled it, giving East 14 cards and West 12. I was a playing director, and they called at about trick 12, when they discovered the problem. N/S had not bid to their making game, but I gave N/S Ave+ and E/W Ave-, the easiest ruling possible, since East and West were both at fault for not counting their cards. In later discussion, we believe the transferred card was a heart (E/W were bidding spades, N/S bidding hearts), but the first round of the auction was identical at all three tables. The first mistake I made was I redealt the board via machine with that deck of cards, so I'm not even sure of what card got transferred. Second, should I penalize the E/W pair at the first table? Lastly, should I give the non-offending side Ave+ despite not bidding optimally? Will Engel Rockford, IL

N/S at table 14, started by sitting out boards 25-26 in a normal web movement. They played 23-24 against pair 13 in round 2, but for round 3, took the lowest numbered boards from their stack, 9-10, to play against pair 12. This was not discovered until they passed the boards to table 13 at the start of round 4. As I was playing, I didn't have a lot of time to come up with a solution, so I gave the pairs that should've played 9-10 vs these two pairs Ave+, and these two pairs Ave-. First, should I hold E-W as responsible as N/S? I suspect not. Second, when I gave the non-offenders Ave+, I let the N/S play boards the E/W had played (for fun), rather than giving them a second sit out. I hope this isn't a repeating problem, but how should I have handled this? Will Engel Rockford, IL
