tourney scoring

[onoway]

I subbed for a tourney tonight and only played the last two hands, which were scored as 51.6% and 50% respectively. However, then my AVERAGE was said to 49.73%?! Can anyone tell me how this can be?

;)

 

duno I could get it to 49.2% if you were in other seats

 

:D

figured it out today...the pair is given an "identity" as a pair and given a place in the sequence of hand, whoever happens to be playing in the pair is just put into that sequence in the movie. The scores that transferred to "my hands" were correct (I think..that's what happened today in another tourney I subbbed for). This makes sense as otherwise it would really be impossible to score a pair. I should have been able to figure that out , but then I asked a "yellow" and he didnt know either so there you go..

your average ends up being the average of your boards plus the previous player boards

 

i used to know a player at bbo who often complained that he was leading a tournmanet at the second to last board, lost connection and, in the end the subs name appeared as the tournament winner.

So, if you sub in a tournament that gives ACBL and/or BBO masterpoints, do you get the masterpoints that might have been primarily earned by someone else?

[Jacki]

In the ACBL games, the person who plays the majority of the boards, is awarded the masterpoints. If a person pays for an entry, disconnects, and the sub who replaces the person (who paid the entry fee) subsequently plays the majority of the hands, and is awarded the points for the game, *and* I know about it, the original player (the one who paid the entry fee) is typically given a refund for the game and the player who plays the most boards is awarded the points.

 

If a sub comes in on one of the latter hands, and is awarded the points even though the original player played the majority of the boards, then one of them - the original player or the sub (or the original player's partner) needs to let me know so I can get the points transferred to the correct player.

 

Hope that is not too convoluted. The important part, as it stands now, is that in any of these situations, I need to know so I can do whatever is necessary - refund or points transfer, to make sure the correct person is given the masterpoints. A quick email to jacki@bridgebase.com, will do the trick.
