A2003 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 How a player is stratified in on-line games? Can this happen?Flight A player uses various user ID's for 6 to 12 months and not registering the ACBL number. Earns the points in playing A or B or C flighted events.Now, Registers the same ACBL number after 6 to 12 months for the those user ID's.Now, is it ok to allow the points that earned in flight B and C to be credited to that flight A player?

TylerE Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 The field is dynamically stratified by pair total. Top third = AMiddle third = BBottom third = C Actually a much more fair way of doing it than most club games, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) uday can answer this better than I, and in fact, somewhere on this forum he has answered it a few times... i just could not find where right now. My recollection of that thread has uday saying something like: The first criteria is GOLD STARS, if you have one, you are in Flight A.Second criteria is ACBL MASTERPOINTS, the more you have, the higher the Flight Third criteria is BBO rating points, the more you have, the higher your flightFourth crieteria is your own "self-rating". if you rate yourself "world class" your flight will probably be higher than if you rate yourself beginner. Someone with the time or a better search strategy can probably find udays post on this topic. Edited January 21, 2008 by inquiry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2003 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Why do you care? Please tell me that you don't actually take this stuff seriously..I am sorry, I should not care for this. I was curious to know how a player can get 30 to 50 points in one day.I was looking at ACBL master points awarded on BBO (WEB), suddenly points jump to 30 to 50 points sometimes in one day.

mike777 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 You cannot get that many points in one day. They must just skip a few days in refreshing the total. :) In practice getting about 150 in one month is about the limit so far. Keep in mind true WC players/pros are not going to play that often in an online ACBL but they do play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Normally, points are updated when a tourney "expires" from the list of completed tourneys (approx 30 mins after the tourney ends ). The reason you see points jump for some players is this: - they play with multiple aliases - they periodically ask us to merge their points U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
