Yeah, this doesn't make any sense to me. Also, I suspect that a large number of non-retired ACBL players play regularly on BBO, especially with the disappearance of evening club games, so they're really missing their key demographic who live on the West Coast or beyond. People talk about east coast bias in sports reporting all the time, I've thought it was overblown in the past. This is the first time I can say I've seen it live and in person.
