inquiry Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 So far there has been one scoring correction: Bluecalm/redds had a 4♠ contract on board 9 scored incorrectly as a 2♠ contract. This correction jumped them up 7 points moving them past a number of pairs and into the top 11. As we can see, there currently is a tie between two pairs (Flycycle/wackojack and tlgoodwin/timg) for 11th, and if that holds, both pairs advance to upper bracket. Those in "blue" below are in the upper "11" pairs.

Second Round is starting Friday to give time to adjust any other unfair scores (either incorrectly entered, or scoring changes due to comments in the forum).

gnasher Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Are these scores final yet? And when does the second round start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Are these scores final yet? And when does the second round start? I am going to have to change the scores on a couple of boards. The biggest change it the one where they overcall 4♣.... Now 5♣x will be top score,followed by 4♥, then 5♥,then 5♠then 5♣ not doubledthen slams still at zero..... Also, due to complaints, I am removing the requirement that there will be "10"'s on all hands. Biggest change is one board everyone loses 4 points except helene_t.. who had a zero and it stays a zero, but she net gains 4 points on the field. Round 2 will start tomorrow (hopefully). Unlike last time, I am running simulations on all the hands rather before I use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Just be aware that simulations often overestimate corectness of slams but those are easy to evaluate "by hand" usually. Anyway, whatever you decide I am fine with it obviously. Where does 2nd round ends ? My partner is now at univ world championship in Taiwan and will be back about 12th. I hope we can make it.

inquiry Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 With adjustments recommended by forum members, and documented in other threads, here is the final round one standings... first 11 pairs (in bold) are in upper bracket, others in lower bracket. For Round 2, we will be bidding the hands in bidding rooms to get over a bug in the teaching tables where players could click the movie button during bidding and see all four hands. This will not happen in the teaching tables. As an aside pairs will sit NS for round 2, not east west... For Round 2, tomorrow I have a very busy day scheduled, so let's start it on Monday and run it the two weeks like before.

TylerE Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ouch....1 point, sure you don't want to double check this again :P Still not feeling very good about the scoring on bd 1 tbh. If you want to call 5♣ a 10, fine, but if it goes down 40% of the time staying out of game should be more than a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm not sure if we know for sure, but could we post a reminder of how many from each bracket Q for the next round. Is it 4? from the upper Q to the new upper and the rest of the upper and the top 7? of the lower Q to the new lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant590 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 For Round 2, we will be bidding the hands in bidding rooms to get over a bug in the teaching tables where players could click the movie button during bidding and see all four hands. But at a bidding table we can see each other's alerts. I'm sure we can trust people not to press the movie button as much as we can trust them not to be on the phone during the competition.

Ant590 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 P.s. The reason why I care about the alerts is in the last round it allowed an opponent to make a natural 2♥ overcall over a 1♥ transfer we made, which meant our auction was similar to the other tables rather than getting lucky because of an artificial bid.

bluecalm Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Maybe the solution is to pm alerts to operator ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
