babalu1997 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 a partner has observed that i am always the dealer every time we sing up for a tournament. i started keeping track of it ,it has not failed yet. then i started noticing that when i play with the other partner, he is always the dealer. in the first case the names start with B AND K so i thought alphabetical orede but in the second ccase the names start with letter b and l and the l guy gets to be dealer so it is not an alphabet thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onoway Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 A somewhat different question but along the same lines...I was in a fairly large indy tournament today and for 4 of the 8 boards had the same person..twice as pard and twice as opp. There were something like 37 tables..twice only one person cycled away from the table. Towards the end of the tourney it seemed a bit more random. I would expect this with a small group but how does this happen with such a large group?

Towards the end of the tourney it seemed a bit more random. I would expect this with a small group but how does this happen with such a large group? In an 'unclocked' tourney, the first (2/4/6?) tables to finish the round are advanced immediately to the next round, so if your table was particularly fast (or slow), you'll be joined by players from other fast/slow tables, with a higher probability of including players from your own previous table, not a random selection from the entire field. Usually this evens out to some degree eventually as some of the originally 'fast' players have a slow board or delays while the 'slowies' manage to catch up and vice-versa. If it was a clocked tourney, it's just an odd coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi, the dealer and the vulnerability are depend on the numberof the board you are playing.As far as I know reading some posts from Uday and Fredthis relationship is fairly hard coded.

With kind regardsMarlowe Right, but Me and Mr. X sign up for a tourney. We end up being N-S, which I'll hope is either random or signup order (ie., there were an even number of pairs before we signed up). How does the computer determine which of us is N? Is it based on who invited, or alphabetical order, or... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
