And what is in the "rules and regulations" : (http://www.eurobridge.org/competitions/08Pau/RulesRegulations.pdf) 5. Byes, Ranking and Ties 5.1 Byes In the event of a team having a bye in any session it will receive 18 VPs. A team must play against each other team against which it is drawn. A team will score zero if, by its own fault, it is not able to play against another team. Its opponents will receive a figure arrived at by taking the average score obtained against the defaulting team by the eight teams nearest to themselves in the ranking list at the end of the Championship or 18 VPs, whichever is the greater.
