Snilld Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi all. I was thinking of how people get their stars here on BBO. I've heard too many rumours so I wanted to know the facts. Snilld :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Read here: Explore Bridge! --> Bridge Library --> English --> Award symbols in your profile Fred Gitelman is the person who awards the stars. This happens because ... 1. He knows the players himself from real life.2. The players approach *him* and ask him for a star.3. A member approaches Fred to let him know of a (new) user who deserves to be starred. Some players do not have stars although they qualify. There are mainly two reasons for this: 1. They don't want one.2. They do not wish to follow the rules in this context (full name and country). If I forgot or am unaware of some details, I'm sure Fred will let you know.

They do not wish to follow the rules in this context (full name and country). Well this point seems not really enforced. Yesterday I was at a table with 4 Star Player and only one clearly stated his name. ciao stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who had stars before this rule was established are not expected to follow this rule. People who were given their stars after this rule was established will have their stars removed, but usually I have better thing to do with my time than to scan the list of stars to look for such people. It is something I do every few months or so. Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
